Theo, I'm sorry, that's no fun. I'm so thankful that Kristin and I have built our own celebrations with our friends.
You all gonna be here when I wake up?

Theo, that's a bummer. Have you ever reached out to them about it? I ask because I don't think I've ever been "invited" for Christmas at my sister's but she then she gets annoyed/mad if I don't go (which I hear about from others not her).
Relatedly, I am also thankful that Kristin and Drew have built their own celebrations with their friends.

And now for something completely different:
Some good (YDefinitionOfGoodMV) election news!
New ballots finally dropped in CA13 and it has flipped from R to D, with the Dem now ahead by 182 votes. Still too close to call but most of the remaining ballots are from Merced and other northern counties that lean Dem so, along with CA45, this is likely to mean Dems will have more seats in the House than where they started after the 2022 election.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I’ll take any good(ish) election news like it is water in the desert.

Thanks for checking in and sharing, Epic. Sounds like the new drug... once you can get back to it... is making a difference. So glad you're feeling more like yourself. Continued ~ma to you.

Glad to hear the update and go team hemoglobin! Can they give you an iron infusion I wonder? That can help a lot with the anemia and listlessness.
Aside: what a strange word. Like, I’m so tired and/or bored I can’t even bring myself to make a list, let alone do any of the things. Or anyway that’s my new entirely made up etymology.

I am Cashmere.
Epic, thinking about you. I know you seek those silver linings, but it's all crap, and fuck cancer. Sending love and healing vibes.
I am also glad we have our traditions. I need to go find the turkey brining container and get that started, relatedly.

Theo, we host an afternoon thing on Christmas Eve, and you’re more than welcome to come.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Ohio's governor signed a bill banning trans students from using the correct bathroom.
I have a sinus headache trying to shatter my skull.
I'm trying to figure out how to avoid seeing my dad while my brother is in town (because Dad likes to see both of his kids together) (he doesn't know both of his kids hate him more every day).
And I have to talk about all this with my therapist in 2 hours. Well, she probably won't want to talk about my sinus headache, but you never know.) I am DEFINITELY going to the fancy chocolate store after therapy. (I need to place my gigantic chocolate order for Christmas gifts anyway. The bonus is chocolate for me today.)
