😭Getting old.

I mean, old is better than the alternative but still not fun.

A very unpleasant one the involves a full day of very unpleasant prep.

We're having a bit of February up here.

I care! Just not online as much.

The elk was very tasty, texture was different. Haven't tried the bison yet.

Health Insurance is such a damned scam. It was bad before but has become so much worse since the ACA was passed.

I have a medical test scheduled the beginning of next month. I self-pay and today have received my estimate.

With insurance - $3,663

Self-pay - $1,062 or with a 20% discount for pre-pay or pay day of it's $850

I hate that smug fuck Obama and all the Dem fossils still in power more with each passing day. Truly evil bastards.

I'm looking forward to it. I'll let you know what I think.

And thanks for the tip. Everything is frozen right now. It was 2 degrees this morning.

Home early due to a white out snow storm.

New space heater delivered.

New books to read thanks to cancelpigs.

I've been meaning to get back into read new fiction. Now I have several queued up.

Happy Friday! It's been a rough January so let's be glad that's almost over.

Random book(s) of the day: Green Pharmacy by Barbara Griggs

I hate picking up an old book and having the cover come right off. So I bought a book on book repair (Book Repair for Booksellers by Joyce Godsey), because I should have already had one.

Fixed enough for now. Might use it to practice binding stitching later.

I'm annoyed all over again though. There are certain points in history that could have gone better. Both heroic and herbal medicine have their place, IMO, but human nature just couldn't allow that.🙄

This is the book that started me off reading slices of human history that weren't necessarily all about the wars and those who fought them.

It is 4 degrees outside.

That's a bit much.

My gratitude for electricity, and the space heater I am practically sitting on top of, knows no bounds.🔥

New Years Eve festivities around here are grabbing a DVD from the stack and watching a bunch of the original Twilight Zone episodes.

I'll be in bed by 10 at the latest. You younguns have fun.

(Don't drink and drive. It can be wicked expensive.)

Thanks, Beej.

I miss everyone's posts because I haven't been as online lately. 💜 Hope all's been okay with you.

Gm and Merry Christmas!

This is a low energy holiday for us as Thanksgiving is the yearly big get together. Today it's the immediate family hanging out all day.

None of us eat anywhere near as much sugar as we used to, so one pie and one plate of cookies.

A Cornish hen each with a couple sides for four is easy peasy. Everyone has a new book, there will be a Scrabble game or three, the yearly turning on of the old TV to put on Christmas specials.

Just a nice quiet day to recharge.🎄

Hope you all have a day full of love and peace. 😊

🎉 Hope she gets the bonus.

They're the worst. I hate how right I was about him taking them.

Even after they actually put him through a heart catheterization and found zero build up in his arteries, they still wanted to put him on cholesterol meds. He finally told them no but they still bring it up.

VA doctors are mental.

Thanks Beej. He has some gut issues and isn't as young as he used to be. IMHO his issues were exacerbated by the statins they put him on years ago. Thankfully that trip should be it for a while.

GM!

I had to spend several days away from my home for Hubby's medical procedure and I hated every second of it. I don't know if it's because I moved around so much as a kid but I am a terribly set in my ways homebody. I don't even like this apartment but I am so glad to be back in it.

I don't even enjoy travel for vacations to nice places anymore.🥲

Traffic, hotels, strange food, crowds, just the worst. Not getting on a plane willingly ever again.

Going to whistle through housework this weekend, grateful to be in my place while still plotting to GTFO to a better one.

So happy for you! Hopefully things continue to improve.

I've just started with the traditional tunes this week too.

Going down two separate rabbit holes this morning. Because that's what you try to do when you've had very little sleep, right?😅 Busy day of housework and grocery shopping (and maybe a nap) ahead so I like to make use of the quiet morning hours.

Up and running today, thankfully after a good night sleep.

Y'all need to be normie posting more. You want to grow Nostr, you need normies.

What's for breakfast, nostriches? I had cold pork loin and white Stilton cheese with blueberries. First time trying the cheese and it was super yummy, can recommend.

May your coffee be strong and your workday productive.
