But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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.

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

When I was a teenager, I wore retainers (top and bottom) for twelve months. That summer, on the flight back to the U.S. for vacation, I took my retainers out to eat dinner, failed to put them back in afterwards, and fell asleep. When I woke up, my tray-table had been cleared, and the retainers were gone. I had to go back to the galley and search through all the trolleys of meal trays to find them.

Agh!

I put my Invisaligns in my bra. This only works if one has a bra, but it works particularly well.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Yikes, Atropa -- I'm glad you're okay, but those are freaky symptoms! I definitely would have gone to the ER, too.

More onerosity finished and/or under way:

Zepbound ordered
Sent message to OB/GYN to ask if I need to be tested/vaccinated for HPV because of Tim's exciting new cancer
Still need to reschedule colonoscopy b/c I accidentally scheduled it the same day as PT (and while I know how important a colonoscopy is, PT appointments are hard to come by—they're seriously overbooked—and my right hip/quad/knee pain is pretty bad)
And, you know, gotta keep working

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

Oy, Gud. I'm seeing this more than hour after that so I hope it went okay and weeping (and teh need for weeping) was minimal

I am just not that into today. I only have one meeting scheduled and it's not a bad one, but meh
