Might one say it was a different kettle of fish entirely?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
David, that kind of progress has to be encouraging!
It is! Though they upped the dosage today and now I'm feeling queasy. Need more crystalized ginger.

I literally just bought this ginger stuff yesterday, and it is SO GOOD at getting rid of the queasiness: [link] . But it is super super SUPER ginger-y. If you need less than a mega dose of ginger, I'm super fond of these: [link] .

One very well might, meara!

Ahh yes, The Ginger People. I know their wares. (I use their ginger syrup in cocktails, and their ginger juice in cooking.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The Ginger People's products helped me, too. I prefer the hard candies to the gummies.
These are also good: [link]

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Dang it, the Ladies Night at the Forge blacksmithing class was supposed to be this Friday (the 11th), but the class was cancelled because I was the only one who signed up.
If the rescheduled one is a time when I can do it, I'd definitely be interested.
I went to NJ for Passover this weekend, which was nice, but I've been exhausted for a while, and spending that much time on a plane kind of made my body just hit its limit. Had to call in sick to work today, and then slept all day, and still feel like crap. (I got an MMR booster about two weeks ago, and I'm seeing some reports that some people can get side effects about 12 days later, and this feels like it could be that.)
It's weird to me to be doing normal things in a constitutional crisis/authoritarian takeover.
This. I feel like I should be doing more to fight this, but I don't know what else I can do. Organizing large groups of people is far outside my skillset, and that seems like what's needed.

Excellent! At this point, I think the earliest I can reschedule is September, because my carpal tunnel surgery is the end of this month, and once I recover from right-hand surgery, I have to have left-hand surgery, and once I recover from that I expect we'll be into July-ish, and I am definitely not going near a forge in Cincinnati in the summer, because that will be too damn hot. So September or October. I'll let you know when the time to sign up rolls around.
