Fucking hell, Tep. But I'm glad to hear of the high survival rate.
And fuck the pride flag arsonist, what the hell is wrong with people?! JFC
I very much hope there is no stomach punching

Oh man, I hope that shitty day turns in another direction quickly. Quick and complete recovery~ma to Tim.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Aw Teppy, I'm sorry. This is a rough go.
If he goes through a popsicle phase (seems its a thing) I make them with this stuff so they're full of protein. There are other brands with assorted supplements and flavors, but this is the fave: [link]

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I didn’t get punched in the stomach. I did get x-rays taken of my misbehaving leg.
Now I’m back home and trying to process. This mostly involves weeping, but also yelling. The cat is not a fan.

Weeping and yelling sounds right. Sorry to MurderBiscuit, but he's got coping mechanisms that aren't fun for you, too
In totally frivolous news: my company keeps sending me emails about exclusive offers from the winery portion of the business and the latest one involves a bottle of wine for the low, low price of $190. The description (lush notes of blackberry cassis, ripe plum, graham cracker, and subtle peppery highlights) does sound tasty but I cannot even imagine how delicious a wine would have to be to justify spending that much. Especially as I have not opened one of the many (I actually just found a case of wine I forgot I had stashed in the garage and hope isn't ruined) bottles I already own in weeks, maybe months...

Fucking cancer! I’m so glad it looks very treatable and a plan is in place.

As much as I love wine, I have discovered that I am just as happy drinking it from a box as I am with a fancy vintage. Hence, buying boxed wine.

The status is NOT quo.
DAMN. I'm so sorry, Tep. I know it's limited comfort, but I'm going to hang on tight to the stats and hope treatment is as painless and easy as possible with a full remission on the other side.

So sorry about Tim. Yay for treatable options.
Laura, your condo memo/proofreading reminds me of antique china in a museum somewhere, probably British but made in China, that would come back from sample editing with corrections and changes carefully rendered into the final manufacturing process.
In following along info, I stumbled into what looks like a good spreadsheet + analysis of zeptide etc. program availability at [link]
Two friends had Covid last week, and my neighbor's friend had it also. So I got my booster yesterday. I walked in to a CVS to ask for a walk-in shot, was told it was not possible, declined making an appt tomorrow. Then, while in the bathroom before leaving, was looking for the pharmacy closer to the farmer's market the next day and discovered that ALL appointments at the CVS near the hardware store where I was that very minute were open. So I booked the one in 10 minutes, and THEN they gave me the shot. The heck? Oh well. My arm is swollen, which I keep forgetting until I touch it. Otherwise feel fine and am so happy to have blood cells doing their immune-creating thing. Yay science.
