Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Thrive to spite them

Oh Epic I'm glad you are ok but that sounds so frustrating.

Endoscopy is over. The Dr took some biopsies and said he thinks I have silent reflux and if he mentioned anything else I don't remember and M doesn't. If I have to do any other procedure where I have to go under anesthesia I'm going to ask if I can record what they tell me after because M gets focused on me and he gets anxious so he just doesn't remember. I think the Dr mentioned Barrett's esophagus but I'm not sure. It will take a week to get the results. In the mean time he prescribed a different type of antacid than I was taking before . And I have a follow appointment in a month

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's so frustrating, Epic.

Oh, Epic, that's rough. Bodies springing surprises like that, no fun.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Belated Birthday, Steph!

There is definitely something wrong when it is cooler where my parents are in FL than it is here in the DC area. Temperatures around 100, and humidity so high that it feels like trying to breathe soup out side. Luckily AC in my house and in my car work.

Aw, man. I saw a notice about a "Dutch Brothers Development" in my city and tried look it up, which I was unable to do, I still don't know what that means. But I stumbled across a map of approved developments in the city and there are many that I had no idea about! A lot of green space getting built over. Which I am a little bummed about, especially the green spaces that I regularly walk passed and enjoy, but we do need more housing and warehouses are at least potentially employers, so I am willing to tamp that down for the greater good (it's not ALL the green space, after all) BUT there's a "warehouse/logistics building space" on a field that I have watched fill with water every spring for the last 13 years, thinking with satisfaction that no one in their right mind will build there because obviously it will flood. Those vernal pools fading into fields full of purple flowers gave me a lot of joy. So that's depressing.

Dutch Brothers is a coffee chain in the PNW…

Yeah, I suppose we are probably getting a Dutch Bros stand, or whatever they call it, but there's one not very far away and I can't think of a good spot for one in town so I'm curious where it will go. Or if it's actually something else. The thing I saw was pretty cryptic.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I am on my way to dinner!

Epic, that’s so rough and unfair and basically not at all in order. Especially so soon post birthday.

But I must admit “ass over teakettle into a cypress bush” has a certain lyrical charm.
