Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I think this is more informative on the topic

Huh, I know that Mississippi judge. He’s from the same group of college friends as my (former) friend that went to work for Orange Foolius the first time around. Good to see him siding with the Constitution I guess.

How funny megan!

Where is everyone this morning? I’m at a dance convention all weekend

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I had a very Oakland day: bike ride in Chabot Park, facial at Piedmont Springs, lunch at Cato's, saunter on Piedmont Avenue, then an ice cream at the resurrected Loard's on MacArthur. (Black raspberry, the summer flavor of my youth in New England.)

Now I have napped and I need to do laundry because I'm traveling again this week for work. Ugh. Adulting is hard.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm in Fort Lauderdale! In Florida for a week with the plan of helping with all the paperwork and business of my brother's passing, and helping my sister with whatever. Brendon drove over to pick me up from the airport with the intention of just dropping me at my sister's and then driving the couple hours back home. I told him I was going home with him for a few days and heading back over there Tuesday. Can't do anything on the weekend anyway. Up north I take care of people, over on the west coast I take care of people, on this side I'm taken care of so that is the plan for 3 days!

Hanging out while he shoots pool with the guys, finishing up my book before book club Monday. Guys were happily surprised that I showed up with him. Going home is like a mini vaca.

During my whirlwind visit to NY I was prepping for SIL's visit and decided to move the bed away from the slanted dormer section since she is tall. Managed to break the bed frame. So I had to order another one and explain to son the mechanics of out with the old and in with the new in close quarters. They'll figure it out.

Anyone use ginger candy for nausea and have a recommendation? I really, really, really do not want to vomit because of the Zepbound.

Trader Joes also has candied ginger that works for nausea.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Also Reed's Extra Ginger ginger beer (non-alcoholic) has so much ginger in it, it will punch your nausea in the face.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Trader Joe’s ginger chews were enough to knock my COVID meds metallic taste side effect out. They’d probably be at least somewhat helpful for nausea.

It’s gorgeous in Michigan this weekend so yesterday I had an extended ramble at a local park. Today my sister and I are going to hang out with her son’s family at a campground by Lake Huron. My nephew would love it if we joined them camping more, because we are both delightful, and also to help keep my nephews from poking bears and rolling in poison ivy. But my love for my grandnephews is tempered by my need for a proper bed at night. After I buy a house/condo, I might start exploring used campers, but that’s a few years off.

Our wings are not tired.

When I started the GLP-1 meds they sent an Rx for nausea, but I haven't had to use it. If I don't eat in the late evening, or too large portions I haven't had any issues. And really if I ate late at night or too much I always had issues. In life I have found nausea is helped by inhalation of the herbal substances.

Slept in my own bed last night for 8-1/2 hours for a sleep score of 76, which is a massive improvement over the last month or so. Project renew and refresh in progress.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Another weekend with Mr. S done. As usual, he spent a lot of time playing Fortnight on his Switch. We know we need to set time limits on it, but it's hard to get him to do what he doesn't want to do. sigh...
