Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Make sure you take the waters, Steph. For your health.

Glad to hear from you, Sophia.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Glad to hear from you, Sophia! Rest well.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Thank you for checking in, Sophia. Get some good rest.

Get good rest, Sophia!

I will literally be going to the seaside for my health! Fucking FINALLY.

I AM CONSUMED WITH ENVY.

Today was one of the worst migraines I’ve ever had. There weren’t any blackouts, but I woke up with a pain level of ten, and the only thing that’s knocked it below an eight is Tylenol with codeine. I’m so over this.

Oh, and yes, there’s a nationwide shortage of estradiol patches, and even with calling another pharmacy that had them in stock to have my prescription transferred to them, I haven’t gotten a “your prescription is ready” call or text. Betcha I’m not getting any, which is going to fuck me up.

Bodies are stupid.

Ugh I’m so sorry, Atropa. I *haven’t* had any issues getting estradiol patches from the locally-owned drugstore I go to, for what it’s worth, so that’s something you may want to check out if you get prescriptions from one of the big chains.

This too shall pass.

It is snowing here this morning! Like flurries coming down from the sky! Yes, I will be seaside by the end of the month.

Enjoy the vacation, Teppy! Packing lists are super essential.

Rest well, Sophia. Thank you for the update!
