Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

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.

Head cannon accepted.

Glad to see you, Epic!

Tep, are your electrolytes good? Because I was that falling person. I'm still unsteady sometimes but it's useful to know. I understand the embarrassment but we're on your side here. Feel better!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Tep, are your electrolytes good?

...that's a good question. When I came home from Colorado in September with the flu, I got really dehydrated but bought electrolyte replacement to add to water (Drip Drop Hydration was the winner). I assumed my electrolytes have been okay since then, but maybe not.

Sounds like it's time to wrap someone in bubble wrap.

For SURE, when I am dehydrated, there is more danger of falling... and all kinds of other crap. Look into that!

Oh no, Tep! Protect those spicy brains! And yes on checking your electrolytes, please. Sounds like something is going on, and that is NOT YOUR FAULT. I know the shame brain lies.

My dignity has been fatally wounded, though. (In our group text, my college roommates assured me that I never had any dignity to begin with. This is the danger of being friends with people for 35 years.)

Ha! So true!

I know people who worked on ballot curing in Cali. Tep, OMG, hope you're not hurt.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Emmett showed up and I dragged Matilda out of bed (at 1pm) and they are being put to work making Jacqueline's spanikopita.

Last year they neglected to put eggs into the recipe and it was about 3/4 inch deep. (Instead of the usual 3 inches of deliciousness).

There are eggs in this recipe today!

I did have to go out and get them coffee and bagels and breakfast sandwiches to get them started.

I have begun to roast turkey neck and veg and herbs to make stock. Then I'll make the mushroom stew today and tear up the bread, so tomorrow I just have to make the bird, mashed potatoes and stuffing.

I remember that! You know, in the way we all remember stuff about each other's lives that we weren't actually there for.

Thrive to spite them

Yay eggs !

My fave pharmacy tech had her last day today. She's moving to Michigan Monday to be closer to her family..

So Michigan is getting several cool people..

I'm exhausted. The store was out of : all forms of canned pineapple, Pepperidge farm stuffing, turkeys, ground sage or whatever isn't rubbed sage and only a few bottles of nutmeg. But this is better than last year when we ended up with a pallet of Pepperidge farm and a lot of turkeys to markdown.

Teppy your sinus infection could be effecting your balance. Messing with your inner ear.But PT could be really good. I did PT for my balance after my concussion and it really helped.
