Sending an abundance of health~ma your way, Matt.

Bonny and beth b have birthdays today. Hoping they are well and are having good times.

One of my neighbors started a Mahjong group here at the condo so I am learning the ropes. Right now, it seems incredibly confusing, but I am enjoying learning something new and the socialization aspect.

Not the best week for medical appointments in my immediate family.

I had three medical appointments this week, including my Dermatologist taking six biopsies off me, and another doctor saying my blood pressure was elevated.

Whee.

I woke up this morning, remembering the few times I had to attend Catholic church with Jacqueline (Matilda being in the xmas play being the usual occasion) and the part where you stand up and shake hands with all your neighbors and say "Christ be with you" or "Peace be with you."

And I thought, I need an exchange with strangers where we shake hands and say "May the Executive Function be with you." "And also with you."

Happy Birthday Bonny!

Happy Birthday Beth!

I guess I'm just weirded out that I'm being rushed into surgery for an issue that I've never had a noticeable symptom of—it's all test results that have no connection to how I actually feel and were originally prompted by an unrelated routine procedure. I suppose that's better than waiting for things to go wrong in a way that does affect my daily life, but it's such a 180° from what I'm used to with mental health care, where getting treatment was like pulling teeth even though I was in enough distress to be more or less nonfunctional.

My grandmother's church did "the Peace" when I was growing up. I miss her old friends who saw this as a way to welcome me into their community. They were so gentle with me.

Matt, I hope your procedure and your mom’s are both effective and easy to recover from.

I bet the Unitarian Universalists would be down for something like that.

No problems at the dentist.

Executive function sounds like a wonderful thing to be gifted!

Saw -t and PM yesterday then went to the ballpark on a lovely afternoon to watch some baseball. My companion managed to snag a ferry boat (they've been serving some food in plastic ferry boats and the people are wild for them) and I got to have ice cream nachos! Soft serve with waffle cone chips, some cherries, and a dipping sauce of caramel and one of chocolate. I ate too much.

Today I have accomplished...nothing and am not sure how it's already 12:40. Well, maybe accomplished a few things between about noon and now. But I woke up at like 7 something! Where did the time go?

Gotta take the dog out and then head up north to my trainer. And then DJ a dance night. Busy evening!

I've been working out with this trainer since January of last year, and trying to go to the gym 3 times a week (probably averaging 2, what with weeks I only do two, and vacations and such). And I even did it in Palm Springs. But there's a huge part of me that's like "we've been doing this for over a year, doesn't that mean we can stop now??"

That was JZ's complaint about housework: "But I've mastered it! It's should be like a Ph.D. and I'd be done!"

Mass shooting in Shreveport with 8 children dead.

I had been enjoying the downturn in mass shootings but that's horrific.
