Happy Doperversary, Chefguy!

My worst procrastinations always involve medical/health stuff, and right now is no exception:

• I need to ask my bariatric NP when she’d like to see me again, now that I’ve taken weight-loss meds off the table; I should have done this over a month ago
• This month I’m due for an updated tetanus shot: I’m pretty sure the NP will say it’s time for more lab work, in which case I’ll make both appointments at my PCP’s office (which is why I’ve been putting this one off)
• I need to make a podiatrist appointment: I’m not in pain, which is why I keep putting it off, but I think one of my toenails needs to go

I also need new license plates: at the start of the month I noticed that a small part of the top left corner of my back plate had chipped/flaked right off, taking the first few letters of the word “Virginia” with it! You can definitely still tell what it says, and the registration sticker on that side isn’t affected, so I don’t think it’s anything I’d get a ticket for…but I hate knowing it’s like that. I’ve had these tags since 2008 – I got them four cars ago – so I guess it’s time!

I wound up not going to the jam session yesterday (shocking, I know!); I also didn’t order a pizza for lunch, because I got some lunch stuff while I was at the grocery store. I’m about to order pizza for dinner, though.

I’m super glad the high temp stayed under 90°F today – it’s 86 at the moment – but I know it’s going to creep back up tomorrow and Wednesday. Meh.

A buncha replies from the last thread before charging into this one…

@Wheelz

On the way to the hotel in Joliet we passed by the prison, and stopped by the door where Elwood picked up Jake in The Blues Brothers. That thrilled me more than it probably should have.

That would have made me unreasonably happy, too!

@swampbear

Oopsie since you are intrigued I’ll give the Dallas Cheerleaders thang on Netflix a go eventually. I saw it and thought, interest not peaked. I could be proven wrong. That has never happened to me in my entire life! Do you believe that? If so, I got a deal on some ocean front property in Iowa for ya!

!

But don’t use me as any kinda yardstick: I am super easily entertained/amused.

@FairyChatMom

I plan to call tomorrow about respite care.

Good.

@susan

I asked a neighbor if she liked her brand of reel push mower. She said it was fine, it had been given to her years ago, she 's only used it once, and she has someone who mows for her–did I want it?

Nice!

I used a reel/push mower at the last townhouse I lived in; I left it in the basement when I moved out. It worked just fine for the few years I was there. The place I’m in now has much more yard; when I moved here is when I started paying people to cut the grass.

@The_Stainless_Steel_Rat

will be in DC on 24-25-26 June and then head for Chicago on the 27th

Awww, this is a crazy busy week for me otherwise I’d definitely be trying to buy you lunch or something while you’re here! But, now you don’t have to think of polite ways to turn me down.

@dogbutler

“Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid, with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?”

“Why am I the only person that has that dream?”

@JaneDoe42

In that pile was a box that included all of the hardware, bagged and labeled just like he always does.

Yay!!

@FairyChatMom

Nary a drop fell overnight, but now the weather channel site is saying it’ll rain this morning.

Our weather is usually pretty similar, but I don’t have any rain in the forecast until Wednesday evening.

@LSLGuy

Figuring out who to substitute into that slot when I have no downline and little sideline will be an exercise in dart throwing.

Aww, FCM beat me to it! I was going to say that I’m not too old to be adopted…

@overlyverbose

I’ve lost most of the shreds of respect I had for my boss, which is frustrating.

Been there…ugh. I’m so sorry.

@SuntanLotion

And don’t forget suntan lotion.

LOL!

@swampbear

Have y’all guessed that I have a big thing for popcorn yet?

I nuke a full-sized bag of Pop Secret Homestyle after dinner nearly every day. Sometimes I even make dinner decisions based on leaving room for popcorn. I’m working to curb my evening snacking/cookies habit, but they can have my popcorn when they pry it from my cold dead hands!
