Happy birthday, Shir. Best of luck in finding a good new location.
Tell me more good stuff about me.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Shir!
Yesterday was our 21st anniversary. We exchanged cards and gifts, but that was the extant of the celebrations. Yesterday was also the "official" birthday of the kitties, who are no longer considered kittens.
Healing ~ma to Tim.
My knee is back to what passes for normal for me. I stopped wearing the brace Tuesday and finished the prescription ibuprofen yesterday.

Such a beautiful, pleasant day in the DC region today. I've spent a good portion just lying on the porch loveseat thing under an umbrella listening to birds and neighborhood sounds. So relaxing.

Oh, yes, happy birthday. Glad you had a good time with your friends. I used to wonder, in high school and college, before everything in the Middle East got so stark and one-sided, how people did, you know, all their other stuff with all of that in the background. sadly, I think we're finding out and it SUCKS. So not a fan.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Make PT appointment for my defiant bad hip
Make mammogram appointment
Make colonoscopy appointment
Message OB/GYN (Tim's cancer is HPV positive, and I may need to be tested)
Follow up with PCP about Zepbound
Make haircut appointment
Continue to try super hard not to freak out

Phew, that's a lot. Can you put off the mammogram for a week or two?

Jacqueline used to reference herself in the way that The Tick's addressed Arthur ("You're an anxious little dude.")
She would just announce it with flat finality: "I am an anxious little dude."
Sun finally came out! Fuckin' yay!
Filthy hippies all strewn about Haight Street for the stupid Dead and Company shows. Literally, they are very dirty, smoking nonstop, notably stupid (as evidenced by every damn thing they say) and they are leaving trash everywhere.
