I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

The status is NOT quo.

Welp, glad I got my MMR titers checked. Despite having the initial vaccine as a kid and a booster in my 20s or 30s, I no longer have immunity. I’ll be getting that and a tetanus shot today. Whee?

Yikes! Glad you did, too. Reminds me to ask my doctor about that tomorrow.

Punishingly Intricate

Same thing happened to me, Pix

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I should probably check on my titers.

There's a brief period in the morning where I can sit in the window seat and the sun is pouring down on my back and warming me, but my laptop is still in the shade instead of a blinding glare.

That period is right now.

And for the first time all summer we've had blue skies for three days in a row, and it's going to be a scalding hot 70 degrees today.

Always Anti-fascist!

So jealous I could spit. I won't though.

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

And just a few (well, 40) miles away we have a high of 93. It's still pretty pleasant, so far

My doctor randomly (as far as I know, maybe there was an actual reason that I just did not absorb) had me get an MMR booster a few years ago so I feel ahead of the curve on that one

Peeps! I get my braces off tomorrow! Wasn't supposed to be until this coming Monday, but they called and said my retainer came in today, and they can fit me in tomorrow. Twenty, twenty, twenty- two hours to go... YAY!

Oh no! Now I'll have to stop calling you Iron Fang behind your back.

Or, Tinsel Teeth. Or Brace Face.

All of them, out the window!

I dunno, I kind of like Iron Fang. It's fierce!
