Tom, phew! What an ordeal.

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

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Glad they finally got to you, Tom.

Finally got my meds this morning. What a goddamn pain in the ass.
Fucking finally! Your doctor is a clown.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Tom, I'm glad you got your meds finally. Know that I can fully empathize with the fuckery that is trying to deal with stuff like that.
Rough therapy this morning. I need to do something to turn this day around.

Boo, continuous hellscape of policies in the us and warfare elsewhere.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
So, things got worse. Wed. evening I got a text from the nanny saying she was bringing Mr. S home right now.(Gary at that point hadn't gotten on the plane to get home yet.) There was some sort of incident, which I don't know exactly what happened. She tells one story, and Mr. S tells another. She ended up waiting until Gary was driving home from the airport to bring Mr. S home.
Mr. S is back at school, but refuses to go with the nanny at the end of the school day. (Gary had to leave work early yesterday and today to get him) Gary decided, after texting back and forth with the nanny, to end our contract with her. He is now looking for other options. This obviously makes life more complicated.
In between all the chaos I was able to go to Malice Domestic this past weekend, where I bought many books.

Our wings are not tired.
It has to be incredibly stressful, Sheryl. I hope a solution is found quickly.

NYC folks, there's a restaurant in Tribeca that does a Cincinnati night on the last Monday of the month, so if you feel like your life is lacking weird chili and amazing ice cream, here's where to go:
I will pay that much for a 3-way!
Oh! I got to try the Skyline Graeter's! Vanilla ice cream with oyster crackers and the spices. Maybe a teeny tiny bit of chili? (not that the chili has a whole lot of chili). Not meaty of course. I'm not going to crave it fortnightly, but it was really nice! I'd eat it again, kept the container... good beat, you can dance to it.
I've always thought a Chicago Bar in this city would be a license to print money. Play the games, sell the foods... the place would be packed.

I never did get around to trying it, but that seemed to be the general consensus about it. It really is two great tastes that taste great together!
