My BFF has been here this weekend helping out. She felt horrible when it looked for a second like she couldn't come. I knew she must have... but it worked out!
Husband had my Prius towed to Toyota today for the damage report. $3700 later I'll have a new car... which means the big battery isn't fucked and I was sooo worried about that.
Ten days til I'm in a new home.
JUST SAYIN

My dermatologist replied to a message two seconds before he was out the door. By phone. Love the man. He is giving me a different antibiotic, since IV doxy is something I made up in my head haha (not really but I'd have to go to an infusion center every day or a hospital).
Packed up most of the basement
Headed to NJ tomorrow. Will stay with my bff and we're going to see Social D and the Descendents.
Things aren't great, but I'm doing my best:
Set up the new table saw. It kicks back every single time, but that's a problem for tomorrow (yes I have the riving knife installed).
Got a few of the shelf braces up in the closet. 8 more to go, and they will be annoying.
3.Nearly finished with ALL my websites. Just need photos and copy for one (which is all up to my husband)
My dad, who grew up on a farm, likes to get mad at me, who he raised in a city-ish environment, over the fact that I don't know what foods are in season when.
"Don't you know where your food comes from?!"
As a teenager in the 90s, I was reliably informed, DAD, that
peaches come from a can
they were put there by a man
in a factory
downtown
MAGA is Stockholm Syndrome for people who don't know where Stockholm is.
Finished my Goodreads challenge of 50 books. And we're only halfway through the year.
OH MY GOD I completely forgot that I can actually open the windows now! My man Jordan installed new screens today. Screens with smaller mesh so little bugs won't come in. Huzzah!
I've been either busy (last two weeks of March) or sick with an Epstein-Barr flare-up (first two weeks of April) so I haven't been on here.
Missed you guys!
Unfortunately, tomorrow we have to put one of our bonded-pair cats to sleep. I think the other one will be OK, but that remains to be seen.
Also, the one dog has a cancerous mammary gland.
YOU GUYS I'M TIRED.
I'm going to eat a sandwich and read The Great Gatsby.
It's a non-stop thrill-ride over here.
1. On Monday, the contractors start renovating the bathrooms. Also on Monday, the glass guy is coming to quote us for new screens. AND someone is coming to look at the fence.
2. Tomorrow I'm going back to the dermatologist and hopefully he can give me another antibiotic that will actually get rid of this contact dermatitis. Someone is also coming to look at the fence tomorrow.
3. I caught up on my March reading and will finish April's reading early.
Enemy Mine-strone
It took us three hours to get to the doctor today, and I barely made it before they closed. The doc still saw me because he is THE BEST. Like the absolute GOAT.
Mad Max the entire way, oh my god.
Cannot wait to move back to the Jersey shore where I'm riding my bike everywhere.
Get Smart...No, Smarter

Really proud of Virginians today. And Spanberger has been kicking ass with the bills she's signing.
Going through my reading list for this year:
"Harry Potter? I'd rather read about Colonel Potter. I guess that makes me Fucking Old."

CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE
I REALLY wish Cricut would hire some developers who know what they're doing. There's a new Cricut Design Space update every damn day, and each one is worse than the last. It is a complete god damned dumpster fire.
Books I'm reading this month. Starting with the Graham Brack. About 2355 pages.
Ah motherfuck! I forgot to post this yesterday, the REAL earth day.

Dupixent shot today. We'll see what goes on with that.
Ordered a new pillow! There's a Tempur-pedic store at the mall so I was able to test the new (to me) cooling pillows. They didn't have any in stock but they will ship and be here in a few days.
Got the Invisalisgn buttons off my teeth, so I can actually feel my own mouth bones. Yay!

The contact dermatitis is still causing me some issues, but I'm titrating off steroid cream and though my face burned earlier because of a flare up, it's back to "normal" now, thanks to me just leaving it the fuck alone and not putting any more meds (non-steroid) on it.
Back on antibiotics so hopefully this shit will die soon.
I organized my screws today. That helped.
