Dangit, they had to go back and take more (“a sliver at the top”).
Now I have to wait again for another lab.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Clear margins are important.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
What Jessica said. I might have said it, but my e has been down all day. Which is distracting, more than anything, but it also shows a real downside to the whole "Can't isn't a word--make a way out of no way" thing I grew up with, right? I could drive myself insane trying to crash through the door that's not open so to speak--it might make me feel young.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am so sorry Nilly. Thinking of you and your family. May her memory be a blessing.
Lisa that is awful. I hope we as country have the resolve to arrest all involved with the ICE action when this is over.

Punishingly Intricate

I'm so sorry, Nilly.
Lisah, that is terrible.
I hope we as country have the resolve to arrest all involved with the ICE action when this is over.
Please please oh please.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
In lighter news - I am at the tail end of my leftovers, just the cranberry sauce (which I snagged the whole remaining tub of, as my mom decided that it being in the freezer since 2023 had sublimated [possibly not the right word but I can make a case for it] enough moisture out of it that another year would be Too Much and she was ready to toss it out). So I said to myself, if refried beans with lime is delicious (as it certainly is) why not refried beans with cranberry sauce? So that's lunch. It's pretty good. Would benefit, if I am honest, from a squeeze of lime. but not bad even without

May her memory be a blessing, Nilly.
This has been a bad year for parents of Buffistas.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm to the part where the anesthesia has worn off and my head is throbbing.
Also the sutures on my arm are gnarly enough to make Jacob Elordi weep in envy.
Also, no Pilates for two weeks.
At one point they left me unattended in the waiting room for two fucking hours. And yes I poked my head out before then and tried to corral somebody. (They were understaffed all morning and there was only one surgeon running from room to room. Turns out you don't want to be there the Monday after Thanksgiving.)
When they finally came back to take my blood pressure, I warned him he was going to be getting my Very Annoyed Blood Pressure reading.
