Wish me luck, everyone, I’m now on the no meloxicam (the daily pain killer I take) part of my pre knee replacement surgery journey.
My hip full of meloxicam is crying at the idea of no meloxicam, BUT:
Surgery is next Friday.
Good luck, knee!
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Good knee-ma, lisah!
Stay un-melty Jessica! Costa Rica and Adirondacks sounds delightful.
Happy birthday, sj!
San Francisco is getting up to 74 today. I may need a popsicle or some other icy treat. Alembic does always have a boozy slushy drink on their menu.
I'm meeting up with my friend Rachael (who is also my Pilates teacher) today to discuss how we are going to Change Her Life. I may steer her towards the boozy slurpee at Alembic for this.
Next week she will reciprocate in helping me to excavate my nerdhole in preparation for reclaiming it as a work space. (I'm getting a new desktop computer now that Apple has put out it's new Mac Studio.)

I miss feeling good about my country.
Sigh. Yes. And will I be around for 300? Doubtful. Will the US be around for 300? Also in question.

Wishing you "dealing without the drugs; fucking hell" ~ma and all the excellent procedure and smooth recovery ~ma for the replacement, lisah.
That sounds like a good kind of conversation & choice of drinks, David. Also, new computers are fun.

Woo hoo, going to urgent care for the second time in 6 days for a double ear infection. Crazy how such a tiny area can have such a giant pain. Do not like.
