Thanks for passing the word, Cass. Please give Trudy my condolences and love when you talk with her next.
Absolutely. Her family is all there together.
Ticky being 21 is unpossible. But she's brilliant so I'm glad she is all grown now.
I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

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

The status is NOT quo.
Sending to much love to Trudy and her family. I know we say it over and over, but it’s still true: It’s always sudden.
I am in total denial that Tickybox could be 21.

Thrive to spite them
I got a new phone. My previous one kept forgetting it had a sim card and I would have to restart my phone. Which was annoying especially when I didn't realize for several hours and missed texts.
Yesterday I had to restart it 4 times just so it would recognize and I went to get a new one. I wasn't sure what I would get but I figured it would be a major step down. BUT I didn't have much balance left and I paid it off and there was a sale so I got a Samsung S25 Ultra for almost nothing .
Now I have to get used to Samsung again. I was frustrated with the Pixel for several reasons but the most recent update made a change to the flashlight that means you couldn't just turn it on and off by touching thr icon. It now gave the option for Done that closed the drop down but left it open or Off. Technically not an extra step but it was inconvenient.
I don't plan on changing phones for a long time after this

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Oh, Trudy. I wish you weren't in the crappiest club with me. And, yeah. Always sudden.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry for your loss, Trudy.
My mom would have turned 86 yesterday, so I understand.

The status is NOT quo.
On a completely separate note, I’ve been considering trying microdosing semiglutides for a few months to see how it goes and am curious if anyone else has done so or has any thoughts on it here. I’m not interested in full doses because I can’t handle extreme nausea and other GI issues, but I’m curious if a microdose might reduce cravings, have sleep benefits, help with me PCOS and diabetes risk etc. I already do strength-training twice a week, which I hope would offset any muscle loss.
