So after yesterday's appointment, I stopped by a pharmacy near my house to pick up some supplies for post-procedure care ( Read more... )

The end of another pandemic week approaches, as does a fun milestone for me. So there's this kinda silly concept that originated in the 1950s of "golden" birthday, which is the year you turn the number of your birthdate.

So. I have an Issue that has been simmering on low heat for a while now with occasional flare-ups of righteous ire. To reduce it to essentials, I offered to do a thing, and once my offer was accepted, the terms were unilaterally changed in a really clumsy way, and I have since been seething over having to abide by the new terms and the way they ( Read more... )

San Diego's NPR station, KPBS, has requested that people send in limericks on the subject of public radio. Never one to resist writing limericks or a "do our work for us before our fall membership drive" campaign, I submitted mine today ( Read more... )
