100,000 eggs stolen from Pennsylvania supplier
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.

My sciatica has been bad since the flight back from Japan, so I went running this morning and did a lot of stretches. If I keep it up I hope it takes the pressure off the pinched nerve.
I gained weight over the last two years and I really need to take it back off again. Trying to use this alone time while Matilda is in Kyoto to re-establish better habits.
In a couple hours I'll drive Cousin Nicole to the train station in Emeryville so she can return to Sacramento. She kept the pigs alive and the house intact while I was gone. But I will be glad to have the house completely to myself.
Now if I can just get my phone fixed...Maybe it's time to just get a new one.
