I’m drained today. Just going to do a little work and keep my mouse moving so it shows I’m online.
Bleargh on all of it.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm having flashbacks of every day bringing a horror worse than the previous day. We've been here before. They have to top themselves. Every day we think it can't get worse, and then.

I have to keep reminding myself that just because it's absurd doesn't mean he won't actually do it. This timeline is wack.

Eggs are available here but they are hella expensive. I've been paying close to $10/dozen for organic free-range in the supermarket (those used to be the prices I was paying at the farmstand before my local farmstand moved far away).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I got up at 5 am today to take my dad for an outpatient heart procedure (it involves sedation, so he couldn't drive himself). AND THEN, the procedure ended up being cancelled because Dad had missed a dose of his blood thinner. His heart rhythm is in Afib, which is both an irregular heartbeat and a rapid heart beat. So he was going to have cardioversion to get his heart back into normal rhythm, and they do that by shocking him.
The pre-procedure notes he had said to tell his doctor if he missed even a single dose of the blood thinner in the last 4 weeks, because missing a dose could cause a blood clot, and if there was a clot while he’s getting zapped, he could have a stroke. The pre-procedure notes didn’t say “call your doctor’s office the day before the procedure to let them know you missed a dose”; it literally just said “tell your doctor if you missed a dose,” so he thought that meant he could tell the doctor when he got to the hospital. So he did. And then they cancelled the procedure. They’ll reschedule it for 4-5 weeks from now.
I am desperately hoping they schedule it for later in the day. Or even later in the morning. 5 a.m. is fucking brutal.

Oof, that's rough, Tep. Good luck.
I know it's, like, an actual crime and all, but "egg heist by Dave Matthews" is kinda cracking me up

Where are they going to unload 100,000 eggs that doesn't scream "Hey! These are the hot ones from PA!" I mean, you can't really pace it out over a year -- they're eggs. Anyway...

The stolen eggs had a retail value of roughly $40,000 (or $4.80 per dozen).
I want to know where on the East Coast you can get Pete & Gerry's organic eggs for $4.80/dozen!! Did the thief leave a contact number, I'll order some right now!

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
