I'm happy to report Mom's surgery went well and she's recovering nicely.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Facebook keeps popping up these savory protein bars and I am intrigued. [link]
Those flavors sound yummy!

Great news, Matt! I hope her recovery is quick and uneventful.

Steph it might depend on the Puff .I just looked online and the back of a package
The Barebell went right through me in a bad way. Luckily I was at work and not somewhere without access to a restroom.
I got more tests results back. I didn't know all the tests run . All around the Von Willebrand Factor. And they were high. The Factor 8 activity was high too. So I assume I'll be hearing from my doctor about this.
I'm trying not to stress about the results and just get ready for my vacation and enjoy that

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I am back from Frankfurt and jet-lagged to hell and back. I did get upgraded to Comfort+ again for the way back and had a row almost all to myself, which made the 8 hour flight more tolerable than it otherwise would have been. (I never get upgraded on the NY-Seattle trips, because those flights are always full.)
I hope the next time I go to Europe I get to see more than the inside of a hotel conference room.
Over two and a half days, I was told by two cab drivers, a tour bus director, and a hotel concierge "Your name is German, did you know?" (Yes, in fact I did know that. Well actually it's my husband's name but almost all of my grandparents' names are German too.)
Back to work I guess. Sigh.

Glad to hear it, Matt!
Savory protein bars is very interesting!
I hope you get some kind of answer, askye

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
Wonderful news, Matt!

I am very into the idea of savory protein bars. Much as I like the built and puff bars.
I have been drinking lots of LMNT for electrolytes but I suspect the stevia in it was giving me migraines this summer. So I had to back off, even though it was also helping me be less dizzy. I do still use it but less.

I completely forgot I had stashed some instant oatmeal in a corner of my desk, so now I am having oatmeal. Yay! Added too much water, though, so it's soupy. Alas.
