Bummer about the registration snafu, Susan, but woohoo on the rest!

Also woohoo for blueberry oatmeal and Tep's vision of the future. I am semi-planning on having oatmeal for lunch, maybe with the nectarine my next-cubicle neighbor gave me mixed in (I remembered to bring the oatmeal that I bought to keep at my desk in today, but I may still decide to order lunch in). I had a feeling that "too many blueberries" was not really a thing...

Our wings are not tired.

True.

Steph's vision sounds like an excellent plan.

Mammogram done and back home. This was my first ever (a bit late, I know), and based on other people's stories, I wasn't sure how painful/uncomfortable it would be, but it was seriously no big deal. The worst part is that they ask you to not wear deodorant, and it's August in a river valley, so it's hot hot hot and nasty humid, and I was afraid I was stinky. But I suppose the technician has seen it all already.

I also had oatmeal with blueberries for breakfast! Though also a few strawberries.

jump to the part where the mammogram is over, Tim's cancer is gone, my hip doesn't hurt anymore, the Zepbound worked, and the democrats control all 3 branches of government and are actually getting shit done.

I support this idea. Particularly for the “skip to democrats” idea.

Meanwhile work has popped off like crazy while everyone is out of office in Europe and I am trying to have friends visiting and going out of town next Friday and then leaving on vacation after Labor Day. Ahh!!!

That's pretty rude of work

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Oh, blueberries!

Arthur turns 2 in a week or so, and frozen blueberries ("boodiddies" which manages to sound both dirty and racist) are among his favorite things, so I'm making blueberry cake (from the French cakes book recipe) for his birthday. So, I got some extra at Costco...3 bags may have been excessive, though.

Never!
