I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Poor Tornado (the dog) woke up with her entire head all swollen, like she got stung or ate something bad. And she had a rash on her belly. So I gave her one of the leftover prednisone pills, and that helped, but she has barfed up water three times this afternoon, and is very anxious. I feel so bad for her.

I did my taxes, but since I owed money and I don't want to give DOGE access to my bank account, I paid the extra to pay with a credit card. Whoot. Done!

Should have cleaned house but that's about all I did. Oh, wait, I have a new Lego set and I put together a cute little Lego orca.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

With all the dire and yes even terrifying news, the high point of my sad week was probably the Murderbot 2 minute preview, which made it seem that they got so. much. right. about the books and characters.

Our wings are not tired.

Poor baby. I hope she is better today.

In an attempt to post good news, my follow-up extra abuse mammo cleared me of issues, which frankly I expected. Other than the rude acknowledgement of the fatty nature of my boobs, it said the swollen lymph node had resolved (I told them that), and the only other thing was a sebaceous cyst, which I also know I am prone to frequently. So good for you my fatty breasts!

It was also good that I managed to stay on my diet while traveling for a week and eating frequent meals out, and lost 2 pounds. Not so great was that I have been feeling ick since I returned and put them back on. Sigh.

She's pretty low-energy, but she did eat her breakfast, so I think she's mostly over it, but her belly is still kind of red.

Thrive to spite them

I lost my car keys. At work. I don't know what I did with them. I'm not locked out of my car. The driver's side is unlocked so I got in and looked around.

My car is a mess but they aren't there. Do I have a spare ? No. Because I didn't want to spend the money and then I kept forgetting to. I haven't done anything like this in a long time. I don't know what happened. I just have been busy and kind of ..I don't know.

On so after trying one locksmith I called another and got a key made. No remote door lock/unlock but it works. The guy was really nice and gave me a deal I wasn't angling for one but I said that if it had been a different weekend I wouldn't have been so worried but I had to be at medical appointment at 7 am on Monday
