I know I've said similar before but I was thinking about how I was out a couple of months ago with acquaintances and one lady was asking me who I had a crush on when I was a kid and she started talking about Duran Duran. It made me think about how my friends had crushes and I was like "maybe they have yet to invent the bohunk I will be into" as a child.

Meanwhile I would spend so much time thinking about Nicolette Sheridan and counted down to Knots Landing every week LMAO. I had no clue and yet all the clues?

I have exhausted all medical avenues for real for real. I had a good doctor who actually pushed me to go and get officially diagnosed (protective against insurance bullshit). Corn isn't really recognized as an allergen in the US by insurance companies so my only barrier is that sometimes they want to push me onto cheaper drugs with corn incipients.

This is why I don't talk about this a ton, because I've done my legwork and tested myself on all kinds of things. It's just kind of the tedium of being low-key chronically ill. I'm sure no other women can relate to this 🤣

It's just new to be meh about food so I had to say something to the void. Thanks, voidfriend, for answering.

The comments section of this article. You love to see it https://news.yahoo.com/im-doctor-still-treating-covid-100525810.html

Oooh I ran into my neighbors and got scoop on the stolen car ditched next to my house. I reported it on Saturday and it was gone by the time I came home from work on Monday, much too fast for City of Seattle. Today I got an email follow up from the city saying the disposition was "vehicle not found."

Last night at about 1 a.m. the people who left it (?) came back and started cussing up a storm. The neighbors let their crazy junkyard dogs out to bark and the people left. Did the car thieves get their car stolen?? 😆

Hmm I wonder. The wealthy will pay out of pocket to do it to their children/themselves, and then it will have that status of "rich people things" attached to it as well. There's also a lot of people who beg online for surgery money.

Really enjoying this all as a piece of theatre. I howled picturing him flying his jet over DeSantis at the Iowa State Fair

"Neopronouns include terms like “xe” and “em,” and some of them even date back several centuries, when they were introduced by writers as a solution for referring to subjects without assuming gender."

Oh pull the other one, it's got bells on

A short but harrowing listen. I learned a lot. Years ago a friend of mine almost died after donating eggs (internal bleeding, and nothing to to with this show or Yale) so I've always been interested in fertility science.

Now that I'm back in bed I'm remembering that I kept waking up last night with with Edith planted in the middle of me somewhere. At one point she was on my chest as I was laying sideways and donkey kicking

Took Rube Jr out to dinner after the movie last night to a really great steakhouse. She mentioned that she definitely moved out too soon and it was stupid. I never say "I told you so" to anyone because I think it's generally unhelpful and cruel, buti was happy to hear it. Happy because she is reflecting on her choices and taking personal responsibility for them. I wish things would have happened differently but everything considered she is doing really well.

Something else interesting--she lives with two young women now in a sketchy neighborhood. She's taken all of my slogans with her and tells her friends:

-head on a swivel

-one earbud

-Constant Vigilance

Her friends tell her she's crazy but I know she goes through the city projecting confidence and alertness. Any interview you hear with former muggers/pickpockets teaches you it's much easier to target someone who isn't paying attention or who looks scared.

She's applying to my trade next week and is very excited. "But then you're going back to college?" her dad asks in alarm. Ha! Going to be a lot harder once she starts stacking paper without debt.

NOT AT THE IMAX!!!

I saw Oppenheimer and I can't stop thinking about it. About two hours in I had to pee though and they would not stoppenheimer
