We have a grocery phone app that is nice to use -- except SP forgets about it 80% of the time.

Start to my new year has been some sort of respiratory ick. Was out of work on Friday (and probably should have been out Thursday) and yesterday -- and today. High fever, congestion. Blood O2 has been ok, but that's probably because of my inhalers. I really have to go back tomorrow regardless, as I have travel to arrange for 7 faculty candidates [WHY could they not just stick with video interviews; that was SOOOO much easier for Staff] and new computers to order for staff [including me, thankfully].

Wish everyone the best for this new year.

Last time SP and I were driving by a farm and got that whiff, he complained. I (quite seriously) told him it reminded me of my childhood.
-
I grew up on a farm. The biggest mess wouldn't come from the maids, but from what they're milking. 😁
-
Late to the story, but enjoying the start of it.
-
A belated merry Christmas (neither SP nor I was much into it this year, for various reasons -- we didn't even have the tree up, though we did have other decor out) and a very happy New Year!
-
It's been a long day. When I read that the first time, I read BRAIN and raisin muffins.

Hmm... so that must mean that there are 4 types of magic -- the regular skwish, and it's "opposite side of the coin" [lets say, counter-skwish], and then Mildred's itch, which presumably has a counter-itch as well. Skwish as the N. pole of magic; itch as the S. pole (or vice-versa). Would love to know if Max is aware of this other pole of magic.

SP and I both work at University -- so it's a giant petri dish. Last time I told a new nurse where I worked her response was, "Oh. That's like asking one of us."
-
Late to this one, but have enjoyed the start. 🙂
-
Not been on recently. Life/work has been insane. SP and I will be getting our Covid shots today - and him his flu shot.
-
You will probably not be the only person looking for a new job, if the change in management style was that extreme. Not a good way to start out as a manager. 😟
-
That sounds familiar. We're still having days 100+ F -- average high should be around 89 F
-
Heat index hit 119F here yesterday. Just a balmy 111F today.
-
Voltaren does nothing for my knee or hip pain -- but does wonders when the neuropathy in my foot starts to flare up.
-
I've not been on the last few weeks, and am heartbroken to log in this morning to find we've lost such a great man and author. You will be missed.
-
SP and I both have Monday off, then we took the rest of the week off as well. I (and he) have way too much to get done to really take a full week off, but I'm doing it anyway -- because the alternative is snapping, loosing my 💩, and going off on someone. Too long without a break and way too stressful. Won't be doing too much exciting -- we'll be cleaning out SP's old house to prep it for remodeling so it can be rented.

A weed is anything that keeps growing when you try to kill it. A plant is anything that dies when you try to make it grow.
-
The nooners involve getting 60% through then being stopped by Lieb waking up. The color blue is prominent in the story.
-
Not entirely awake this morning yet (a week of rain front after rain front is killing the joints) and I read that first as "mail" 🤔 Staying home today and resting on the couch.
-
I hadn't heard it put like that before, but love that analogy.
-
Lots of love to the three of you. Peaceful or not, it can still be hard to loose a parent

I never get tooth pain -- never. I've literally snapped a tooth in half and not had any pain. Some people say things like, "how lucky", but pain is there for a reason. I've ended up with huge cavities because I simply couldn't tell anything was wrong. I'd love to have some, admittedly small, amount of pain when there is something wrong. Now my gums -- THOSE feel pain and deep cleaning is a <censored>.

Sometimes, the best thing you can say is to say nothing. Just be there and listen -- truly listen -- without judgement or pity.
