Yes, I get that, but still a more legit choice than Trump. The choice to bomb Venezuelan boats is some super scary stuff.

Thrive to spite them

So I stayed home from work yesterday my stomach is back to all the extra gas and issues. I don't know what I did. But I barely made it through work Wed and spent way too much time in the restroom. And Tuesday night I was up with the stomach spasms (I forgot I would take my medicine every four hours I thought it was 8).

And yesterday there was no one in the morning on my team. Normally I would have forced myself to go in but I'm feeling tired and kinda burnt out and the 18th starts my first vacation in 2 years

Of course the store manager said something about how often I've been missing a day a week. Which I know and I don't want to deal with. I'm not happy about it but that's why I have this intermittent leave. I didn't really say anything except I didn't think anyone would want me around yesterday. I was going to approach him with an issue with a coworker but I'm going to wait until after my vacation. I don't think that he will try to penalize me in any way for my approved medical accomodation (since he can't and he hasn't done that for anyone else ). He has a very brusque manner at times so I think he was just expressing frustration about not having someone who can be reliable.

And my new work phone is missing .

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sheryl, my condolences.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Happy Saturday to all. It's glorious and sunny in SF this morning.

I've had coffee but no breakfast, as yet, and I'm craving some runny eggs.

This makes me miss two things:

1. Making shirred eggs for JZ.

2. Spoiler-fonting "runny eggs" in deference to ita, as she found the concept gagging.

Still mindful to use Jillifont when necessary.

I have dinner plans this evening but otherwise my day is wide open.

Runny eggs, ewww. I generally like eggs all ways, but not so much the runny. Enjoy the glorious day, and dinner tonight!

We had our first frost! 28 degrees yesterday morning. No final plan for heading south while I wait for Brendon to get his act together.

I created a FB group page for my condo to coordinate socialization, and it has gone well, except for an influx of fake people looking to join the private group. Why!?!?!? The accounts are almost always a couple with 2-4 children. I think we have 2 families with children in the buildings. It is mostly middle aged or retired people. Located on the A1A strip in Ft. Lauderdale with no playground or kid friendly amenities for the most part, it really doesn't attract couples with little kids. Kids come and visit their grandparents, but that is about it. Anyway, I was showing the people trying to join to the front desk person, but now they just have to wait to be denied until I get back. I still don't get why people who don't live there would try and join. Oh well.

Otherwise, just dealing with trying to get my son to be more productive, figuring out the logistics of buying out mom's house from the sibs, and trying to keep productive myself.

I did make an appointment for acupuncture for my painful knee, and a nice bath and nail trim for Skinner before the 3-day road trip back home. My son will probably be bringing his cat to Florida with him. Right now he is still at the apartment with the GF and their 2nd cat. He's worried about the road trip with him but I haven't had any issues so it should be fine.

I don't like runny eggs by themselves, but I do like how they thicken and enrich things like shakshuka or ramen.
