Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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

Feeling that this morning. I have a stupid meeting in 5 minutes and I DO NOT WANNA!

I have this Reductress headline (from the page-a-day calendar) pinned above my desk. It is never not true!

Thrive to spite them

David I'm so sorry about Lola and Isabella.

I hate cancer.

Thrive to spite them

I had my appointment with the GI doctor. No answers, obviously, he seemed perplexed. But he ordered more tests a plain X-ray and an endoscopy and he prescribed some kind of medicine that should help with stomach cramps... Or muscle to contractions or something.

And he advised I try a FODMAP diet. The nurse who have me the actual info suggested I pick one or two categories to eliminate first instead of all of them. I was reading over the list of foods to avoid and M was like "that's most of what we eat!".

Right now we are at the comic book store and after this we are going to the used bookstore so a pretty good day off. Except for the stomach discomfort.

And for whatever reason Scrappy the cat has been super affectionate lately so I've gotten plenty of kitty snuggles and pettings. Penny has been less cuddly and wanting attention, but she gets like that. And Bingo the dog has been renamed Mongo and he is ok. Except M's mom isn't great about letting him out when he barks (he needs to relieve himself) nor is she great about changing the puppy pads immediately. As much as Mongo is a good boy he really needs a better home.

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

This debate I have with myself every Tuesday as to whether it will be easier to bring all my stuff home and WFH tomorrow or leave my stuff here and come into the office is harder to resolve than it should be

Thanks for the reassurance, Epic!

Scrappy knows you aren't feeling well. When I am sick, Scully is all over me.
