Four milligrams klonipin was perfect to get me through an 11 am MRI. But I am still feeling it 11 hours later. So, news I can use. At the expense of losing a Saturday.

Our Flag Means Death.

Timeline cleanse: the world’s dumbest adorable bobcat.

Feeling more claustrophobic in the morning than I did last night. I am prepared to have a full meltdown in the room until they either put me under or magically have the better MRI machine on hand.

How many benzos should I take in preparation of my MRI. I’m not 100% sure how claustrophobic I’ll be.

I remember thinking I must have good health care insurance when they gave me a private room in the psych ward. It wasn’t until a few weeks later I realized they expected my psychotic episode to last a lot longer. It was a lot less carceral than the one on Fringe.

No cheating, reskeet with the most recent photo of your pet. It is physically impossible to take a good picture when your baby is tucked up in your armpit.

High quality fact here.

Accountability Post: I'm going to do all my health-care admin. Cash out my FSA with therapy bills. Upload the last four months of out-of-network therapy. Do the math on out of pocket expenses for tax time. I'm adulting so hard.

They’re doing plumbing work upstairs and I would not be surprised if I have an extra tub or toilet in my bathroom by the end of the day.

Omg, the boos at the mention of Eric Adams.

Like I wasn’t lazy enough. He now lets me pick up the blanket taut so I can move him next to me and do the things I need to do. When I come back I can move him back into the lap. Only took a year and some change to get here.

Strong agree

This is possibly the best Patreon perk I’ve seen.

I want brunch. But not on the day everyone also wants brunch. Maybe I’ll go tomorrow after swimming.

It’s not the holiday without this important annual recap.

My cats are being champs about the fireworks. Curled up with me like nothing’s wrong. Patch looked up, but seemed to take his cue from me that we’re safe.

That’s some serendipity. I put on Kumail Nanjiani’s new special and it’s ending right at midnight.

My neighbors just celebrated East Coast new years. They are going to be so obnoxious at midnight. I didn’t necessarily want to stay up till midnight.

Pretended he didn’t even see him.

Buddy is spending a lot of time in Air Jail lately. It’s not teaching him to be better, but I do think it’s helping him get used to snuggles.

It’d be real awesome to live in a place with insulation and real heating. My wall heaters are gas and both a fire and carbon monoxide hazard. So I have a baby space heater. It’s 51 outdoors and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s 55 indoors.

As an alternative to running 150 different reports, I’m trying to run yearly reports and delete what we don’t need. It’s less demoralizing, but also it takes so long to run a single report I forget what I’m doing. (I would forget what store I’m pulling anyway, so it’s still better)

MTV is officially ending all of its music channels. In honor of that, what's your favorite music video? youtu.be/BjvfIJstWeg?...

Why does my mouth feel funny? As they shovel another handful of cinnamon jelly beans in their mouth.

FUCK

I am considering DoorDash for this evening. It comes down to how much shame I have. Will I be able to look my neighbors in the eye after seeing me hunt down the driver wearing a Snuggie. Because I’m not changing. And they will get lost.

I was looking at the weather and tomorrow starts eight days of rain that dip into the forties. I realize that’s warmer than a lot of places. But I also pay a zillion dollars in housing for better weather.

The economy has never been better. Americans are spending more than ever after we tripled health insurance costs. Average life expectancy has plummeted, reducing the amount we waste on social security. If we arrange charts and figures in a certain way then you can tell these are all positive things.

In a shocking turn of events, Buddy is uninterested in Burger King fries. So it falls on Patch to be a massive dick about it.

Guys! I found more clean undies in the laundry hamper! I can now wait until Friday before it’s an emergency.

You’ll never guess who forgot their password again? At a very inopportune time.

I’m trusting my employee to do the giant reconciliation we do today, and I am enjoying the lack of urgency with the tasks I’m doing.

Most shows I can just rewatch in the background because I remember the shape of it. Dark is so twisty you need to pay attention. I remember it worth the effort.

What the actual fuck?

I think In & Out has the fries with the shortest shelf life. Like, why even get it to-go?

It’s one of those days where a system switching to SSO feels like a nice early win. I am the worst with corporate passwords.

Nobody is on BART. I am so annoyed I have to be one of them.

Always say yes to Parker house rolls.

If you think about it, spelunking is a really stupid idea you’re lucky to survive. Lots of it in Dark.

So that was a DoorDash fail. I really need to get better at cooking. I can do the cooking. It’s all the other things that are impossible. I just ruined a pot of sauce waiting too long to cook the meat.

Wow, I never knew that.

My dad never got the memo on child appropriate media.

Give it two years. These cats will let me hug them Elmyra style.

And with that, we conclude the Good Fight cameo party. I hope everyone was mildly entertained.

I’ve seen Wake Up Dead Man three times and apparently not on my Netflix account.

Oh no! In trying to post Andre Baugher’s silly glasses I broke my thread. Expect to see a lot of duplicates. Apologies in advance.

Yay! The pool is officially back next week.

I got a jerk cat to entertain my other jerk cat.
