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

Wordnik says "lasagne" is the plural form: [link]

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

This body has been run.

I have to find a massage therapist, because ≥30 minutes on the bike 5 times a week is now business as usual for me, but my legs are sore as hell, even though I stretch afterwards. (I told Tim, "I never used to get sore like this before Covid!" and he calmly roasted me by saying "You were younger then." Which, fair enough.)

Because books.

Now I want lasagna/e.

Ah, dcp, with the distinction! Well, it was only lasagna on the plate today -- though I have been known to eat lasagne when given options.

Good for running, David! I... walked the dog a little? I did say I was going to go to the pool today... huh. I should do that soon, because I have class tonight at 7p, so... hmmm. Backtracking to give myself an hour to prep for class, I should leave for the pool by 4:45p.

OK. I can do this. Keep the one goal I articulated for today. Yes.

I am eating fancy chocolate chips to help me not snap at some project managers who are arguing with me. Let's see if that works!

JenP, I feel like you can still use either one, since you made it out of multiple noodles.

Thrive to spite them

I have a prescription for blood pressure medicine...it's amlodpine. I didnt get any communication from the doctor regarding this but maybe I'll get a message back. I was at least expecting "I've prescribed this here is what to expect from it". But maybe it will come.

I tried to call them today to get my Vyvanse called into a different Walmart because the pharmacy at the one I work at is out and the one by home said it would be end of March. But I couldn't get through (but it's Monday) so Ill call tomorrow and hopefully the pharmacy will still have it

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

Work was a bit extra work-y today. Upon being asked for help, I made a suggestion to a disgruntled coworker and got pouting and attitude. My male coworker suggested the same thing to her an hour later and got sunshine and roses. So over it.

But I went for a walk at lunch and got to pet multiple dogs, so the day was definitely not a waste.

How annoying, Calli! But yay dogs.

I don't think my doctor told me much of anything when I started on lisinopril, askye, but the pharmacist made sure I knew possible side effects, etc., and every time I refill they ask me if I've taken it before and I say yes and they still have me talk to the pharmacist so they can tell me again. So I hope your pharmacy will be equally informative.

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

Jiffylube was too jiffy! I rolled right into an open bay and they started vacuuming my car before I'd even gotten to the office. Guy said to take a seat they'd have it done in 15 minutes!

Where's my reading time, buddy! I went to the nearest cafe, which turned out to be a sweet gem of a place named Cafe Enchante. Really nice vibe inside with free wi-fi. I will definitely return if I want to do some writing.

Matilda texted me from school with a picture of herself with tears streaming down her face. She said, "I can't stop crying. I miss Mama."

So she's coming home from school today instead of going to practice.
