Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Dentist says there's definitely swelling, but doesn't see any infection. So I have prednisone for the swelling and tylenol with codeine for the pain and am going to stick to soft food for a day or two. Bring on the mashed potatoes!

Huh. Yay mashed potatoes! Pain go away!
So, I'm not sure how much of this I have told y'all, but I went to a new dentist right before my giant vacation for what I figured was a chipped tooth. X-rays, etc, they set me up with a root canal on the day I am leaving and a pre-root-canal cleaning the day before. I go in for the cleaning and they only do half my mouth, the other half from broken tooth. Which seems off but presumably they know what they are doing. A couple of hours later I get a call asking if they can move out the root canal because if staffing issues. At this point I have antibiotics and pain killers and have been told that if I have a problem while I'm travelling I can go to one of their other offices so I move it to after I get back - yesterday. Yesterday they call me half an hour before my appointment to tell me they haven't gotten my crown and they want to delay again, they'll call me to reschedule when they get it. Fine. This morning I get a text saying "We missed seeing you, reschedule here". I am pretty sure it's just the automated texting system has not caught up with the actual person I spoke to yesterday, but I'm losing a little confidence in this whole enterprise.

I would too. By the time you straighten things like that out, I bet automation doesn't save all that much time.

Okay, I hit the sweet spot of prednisone, ibuprofen, and tylenol with codeine where my mouth doesn't hurt (yay!!!) but the NYT Spelling Bee is REALLY HARD YOU GUYS.
I am going to go eat salted caramel mochi, thank you Trader Joe's.

I'm up to "Nice" on the Spelling Bee with two Pangrams, that's probably good enough for me

Tooth ~ma to Steph and -t.
I am v. tired today, not having slept well. One ep of Slow Horses, then to sleep. Though, food first. Sandwich.

I am sorry for the dental pain, Steph and -t.
I have onerously done the paperwork for the life insurance, found my grandmas death certificate, investigated home inspectors, made a date with my aunt-in-law to ask for help planning a little get together, called my neighbor’s tree guy (they are taking down one of my trees and have to get a truck in. He is going to cut some branches for me for free, I think).
I also have to sort of pick up my life too, take care of some health issues and mental health issues I have been having, probably also since Barbie.
