Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

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.

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

and that's how I found out he has squamous cell carcinoma on his skin and he is getting it removed Wed.

I've had three carcinomas and one melanoma removed. Only the melanoma was big deal.

Gorgeous summery September morning in San Francisco, and I'm back to Pilates after a couple weeks of abbreviated schedules (for Labor Day Weekend and my visiting friend).

I'm very sweaty and sore but it was a good workout. All the pre-cleaning I did for my visitor has rendered my house less disastrous, but I'm overdue on cleaning the guinea pig cage and now I have flies because of it.

Hate them! Fortunately I've got one of those electrified tennis rackets and I've been on a murderous spree.

Yes, even before the shots I found most meals out were 2-3 portions

Same, except I can eat that much most of the time if unbounded. Which I currently am because of insurance switch #1. We're on #2 now, so I have an appt. with my doc this week so she can try to get pre-auth from Cigna. But, I do qualify (on paper, anyway) for Lily's self-pay, very steep discount for Zepbound if it comes to that, so I'm maintaining hope!

Geez, askye. Sending ~ma to him and you.

Always Anti-fascist!

Sadly, I think two posts of mine in Beep Me is a sort of record. That they're both good news is somewhat off the charts.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Dammit! RIP Robert Redford.

Aw, dang. I mean, 89 is a good long life, but still. Dang.

Our wings are not tired.

I've been watching BBC News in the morning because I can't stand stateside news the past few months. They have been almost non-stop Redford. He was a gem. I had such a crush in my youth. (not that it has diminished)

Nice, erika!

Aw, that's sad about Robert Redford. I hadn't heard.

Thrive to spite them

I hope everything will be fine with Dad. I assume it will be.

I'm done with the dentist. And I got a surprise filling replacement because a filling was loose and I was numb anyway so it's done.

The dentist and hygienist both told me I had beautiful long hair and I told them I was getting it all cut off and their reaction was "it's so beautiful" (they were both women) .

And I'm going to go pick up my unicorn at some point and I really feel like I deserve it after the surprise filling .
