not your mom's socks.

Wow, people are weird.

Agreed. No one ever asked me that when I was vegetarian, though.

I managed to switch over most things from former doc earlier in the week, except for my records. But that means mammogram got moved to a new office and moved up to tomorrow. I am, as always, a bundle of nerves, with added not-wanting-to-be-needy or whatever. Here's hoping it goes smooth for you, Kat, and for me too. Then, next week, exciting routine bloodwork. I feel like I should get a sticker that says 'I am being a mother-f*cking adult.'

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Could I get some ~ma for an eye test I have tomorrow morning? An early test showed me as being at high risk for macular degeneration, and I'm re-testing tomorrow to see if the pigment levels in my retina are stable or not.

eye-test~ma, Anne.

And mammogram~ma for Kat. And for me too, if I haven't used up all my ~ma.

Eek, that's scary, Anne. Definitely -ma. And for Suzi, and Kat, and all medical testing!

I went and checked out a new beer place a few blocks away--they sell lots and lots of beers in bottles/cans, and also have a little bar with about 6 ciders and 20 beers on tap, and you can get pints or growlers, and they have a different food truck every night (which I posted about earlier). I did not have any beer or cider tonight (just a ginger beer) but will definitely try the cider flight next time I'm there. I had a Filipino bahn mi. It was pretty good, though could've used more pickled veggies.

Oof! My dad had that towards the end of his life. Not good.

Wishing you eye-ma.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds like an excellent addition to the neighborhood, meara!

Health~ma to all y'all.

My brother made it to the hotel tonight. Still can't get up the only road to their (as well as many others) subdivision. There are guys with tractors, old-school humvees and 4 wheelers that have been ferrying people and supplies up and down the road as needed. Some going 10 miles in.

PJ's threatening to drown the kids, but it looks like they might be able to get home tomorrow. The poor dogs and cat are going to be mental. The elderly dog and cat have food and roaming but Zurie/Tubby has been in her crate the whole damn time. Josh wanted to take advantage of the guys with vehicles, but it wasn't possible.
