I've listened to the first one, have the page bookmarked, but haven't found time to continue, yet.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Yeah I am way more of a morning person than I used to be but I am still never going to be someone who wants to start work at 6am ever.

Yes! I just listened to it this afternoon! Such a great ride WttH is -- wow, thats a familiar inutialism, ha! (Also, I think Eldin is my current favorite.)
Trinket is my favorite, followed very closely by Doug. And June!

Right on schedule like the oncologists predicted, Tim's side effects (mouth sores and throat pain) are worse, even though radiation ended last week. He does have some meds that help make the pain not as bad, but it still sucks. And he needs to not lose any more weight, which is difficult when he doesn't want to eat (and he is a little stubborn about not drinking enough of the Boost Very High Calorie because he says it tastes weird [I respect that, but sometimes you need to deal with a weird taste so you don't end up with a PEG tube] [and also he says other times that his taste buds are totally offline now, so how could Boost taste weird?]).
On top of that, he seems to have a cold/respiratory bug, which is mostly a hacking cough, which he also has meds for. So he's been off work most of this week, because recovering is his top priority. It's just weird to see his side effects get worse after treatment is over. Hopefully the Why Is It Worse After Treatment Is Over? period won't last too long.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
That's frustrating. It's hard to make yourself drink weird stuff, but when you gotta, you gotta.

I'm sorry that the post treatment phase is so awful. ~ma for this to be a rapid phase.

Aw, poor Tim. Drink the weird tasting Boost! I hope this phase is over soon and does not get worse.

Maybe you could zhuzh up the Boost with some other ingredients and one of these: [link] Or include it in a milkshake?

I have successfully picked up my new glasses! Costco has gone to a locker and QR code model and I couldn't find the right door for a while. I did eventually see it, but after all that I sped off without circling back to the food court for a hot dog so I had to console myself with In-n-out on the way back to the office.
