I keep forgetting to update my burrito price report! Went to the Martinez Sesquicentennial celebration on Saturday and got lunch from a food truck ( I *want* to call it a taco truck, I would call the restaurant it belongs to a taqueria, but their special was burritos so "taco truck" seems vaguely misleading). I got a super burrito with al pastor, a side of chips, salsa, beans and cheese, and a diet coke for $15. Mom got a regular veggie burrito for $9. So they aren't all $20.

To be fair, I think I did get the $20 burrito delivered, so fees and whatnot go into that. But still!

I kind of wish we'd done that stuff for this place. Nothing here is that old, but we've been kind of low-key haunted by electrical problems.

Today I picked up my hard neck brace that I'll wear after the surgery. It is honestly the part of surgery I'm dreading most (even more than the surgery itself), because I hate anything snug around my neck, like turtleneck shirts/sweaters, or even a winter scarf. The brace is pretty restrictive. I'm hoping the pain meds will make me not care so much.

Although I think I have it relatively easy -- I don't have to wear it when I'm sleeping or showering or icing my neck, and a lot of people do. And I think I only have to wear it for the first 2 weeks. Hopefully I can be chill about it. (I mean, I possess zero chill, but maybe opiates will let me borrow some chill.)

David it's a beautiful house. I hope the offer goes smoothly!

If you can't make your own chill, store-bought is fine. Seriously, I feel you on not liking things around your neck (maybe we were hanged in a past life...), I do hope the opiates help with that. May you have a warm fuzzy cloud of not caring about anything including the brace for two weeks.
