Thanks y’all! I woke up feeling like crap but am hopeful the meds are finally kicking in and I’ll have a nice evening DJing for dancing
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I feel like I should write a long post to catch up, as tribute,Meara, but it's kind of not like that around here, anymore.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Yesterday the physical therapist modified some of my exercises and completely got rid of a couple of exercises that were causing pain, and that combined with starting a tapering dose of prednisone this morning, my hip/quad feels SO CLOSE to normal! It's amazing. I don't think I realized how much pain I was in until it stopped. Like, I don't have to plan my breaks from the computer in terms of "What do I need to accomplish while I'm on my feet, so I can do it all at once so I don't have to get back up right away, because getting up hurts like a bitch?" I've just been hopping up for stuff without even thinking about it.
Pain blows, y'all.
Also cancer, in case I haven't mentioned it. Cancer blows. Cancer can go suck a dick.

totally. David Simon threatens people with "A bag of unsalted dicks" from time to time and I'm sure he would approve of my borrowing that because he had an artist sister that died young of some aggressive version of it years ago. Cancer can eat stale unsalted dicks.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Cancer can go suck a dick.
That would be a hard sell in Amsterdam's red light district.

Ha! Dicks with no seasoning at all!

Yeah, you know, initially wouldn't have thought that rubbed it in, but it does, somehow.

I just accidentally put on a really cute outfit so now I’m feeling like I need to upgrade my plans for the day.
Which OK I do actually have plans for a nice late lunch with a friend which is the whole reason I changed in the first place.
Two great restaurants in my old neighborhood are closing this weekend so today is a four course menu at Heritage Restaurant and Caviar Bar [link]
Tomorrow is drinks and burgers at Twisted Spoke, [link] a biker bar that’s been there for 30-some years, only one of who’s claims to fame is the Saturday night midnight to 3 AM Smut & Eggs special, where you can get late night brunch accompanied by 70s porn on the TVs. I have no idea the origin of that tradition.

Well, those sound very different but both fantastic! Bummer they are closing, but glad you get to enjoy them one last time. Also, yay cute outfit!
