i swear the only way to get ravioli without ricotta is chef boyardee

there is a restaurant in my town that's not spelled like the Egyptian pharaohs but Siri always thinks that's what I'm saying when I dictate and we're considering having the Hanukkah party there and it would be a more ironic if it was the Passover party, but it's still cracking me up

doing my steps, got spouse to drive me to the top point at the exit of the parking lot of the lunch place and then I'm walking home a path that's all downhill I just passed somebody has forced an oak to be a shrub in their yard ? It is intensely bizarre.

oooh BOTH my knees are hurting i just started going back up the stairs normal because babying one knee was hurting the other i do technically have two knee braces am i really gonna brace them both my spoonie app only has 4 ratings for symptom severity how much do i bitch before I rate joints high

OKAY I think the medication shipping situation on the study is solved? I called the pharmacy and they said I don't have a profile yet because I don't have a prescription from the study yet, but the profiles are manually created and the person could create a note about me for whoever deals with my rx

two days i struggled so hard to get out the door by 8:40 today i wake up at 8 naturally. is it to go bug the post office?? well, body, the post office don't open til 9

trying to decide which human who is not already getting my news from bsky to call: my mother or my temple friend. the thing i am struggling with is the urge to do something when all there is to do immediately is wait, and i'm not sure either will be helpful.

I probably should not, based on my burping level, go get a burger

i am combination laying in bed le tired and crawling out my skin with the need to do something i hit a snag in the long covid tirzepatide study the app can't verify my street address to fedex me drugs. i sent an email about it, waiting for a response, tried to call the study pharmacy number but

OK, it's a long drive but I was not expecting to get a call to schedule my knee imaging before I got home from the doctor appointment where was this eight years ago?

ugh ugh ugh i thought i was just barely on time to my appointment and in fact i was five minutes late my gerd is goin wild i just took my bra off in the office and my blood pressure is 150 something over 111. GREAT start

I walked over 6000 steps today which is more than i've walked since *checks* the first day i had metformin

my knee doesn't exactly hurt but it feels weirdly tense (i'm lying down relaxed). this is the sort of thing i should report as pain huh

hmm ok i think i remembered so many errands today that all I have to do tomorrow is go to the doctor and get a poke bowl as a reward for dealing with this shit. like. there are other things i COULD do (frex offer to do a grocery pickup for the friend who can't communicate) but i straight up dunwanna

i wanna be knitting but i also wanna be laying down this doesn't quite work

quick question guys how the fuck do i detangle the need to ingest food to continue functioning from one million brain weasels about test results and doctors

I want my test results. How long does it take to run an A1c?

ok gang i should probably spend some time reading about tirzepatide over napping

trying to get sandwich fixings. had to ask spouse to pick up bread the other side of the mountain for me, the lacal bakery whose sourdough i trust doesn't sell in desert side grocery which i'm on the desert side for doctor stuff. mayo costs twice as much at sprout's as ralph's

home from 10 day trip, taking stock of habits meds. took 'em the whole trip, tried to fall off when i came home but made it happen cpap. used it the whole time, brought it in from the car, just set it up before bed walking. doing so well i'm considering increasing my daily step goal teeth. ummm.

my siblings who has really fucking bad ocd is getting inadvertent exposure therapy via the semi-feral cats my parents adopted peeing on everything

mom always complains no one helps with t-day dinner so i started chopping vegetables while she was napping and she woke up and came over and said "do you even need me" line in @tkingfisher.com's Nine Goblins about always expressing interest with complaints. perhaps best to understand mom this way

my knee is acting up in a new weird way. a sharp brief pain just below my knee? took some ibuprofen and went the fuck to bed may my knee be better in the morning

four people is too many for a grocery trip

somehow we have to order a bottle of fody shallot-infused olive oil every thanksgiving. the rest of my family can just cook with onions but they use the oil up all year and no local stores carry it. good thing they live in a shipping hub city

i made a grocery list from the thanksgiving recipes with great care and they're just wandering around going "do we need strawberries"

asked my family if they could live without spotify bc i own the family account. my mom cannot, but offered that i could transfer ownership if i couldn't live without the guilt and she would be the "sinner" and i felt like why bother, if spotify still gets the money it's not a meaningful action

does anyone wanna take bets on how long my phone brick can power a personal fan in this hot-ass room

wifi down at my parents' house. my dad describing all the lights on the modem to me. "there's another box do you know what that is" you have a separate modem and router. "which is which" i cannot tell from the description of the dimensions actually

mother what part of "i wanna take a nap" = talk to me nonstop?

FAILURE and TRAGEDY failure: I tried to make one of my family's traditional holiday recipes, a yeast roll, with GF flour for a GF friend, they came out crumbly weird as sometimes occurs tragedy: an hour after eating them my friend's guts were reacting as if the bob's GF flour was contaminated D:

dunno if i'm just looking super american tonight but I asked the waitress what was on the chirashi and she started explaining the concept of chirashi to me, which was on the menu, when i was trying to ask *which* fish were in the "assortment," info which was not on the menu

@havocthecat.bsky.social thanks for the assist on Lugia. Is there anything else you wanna remote on tonight? Did you get a ho-oh? We could see if one was still out.

i am expanding it's hideously inconvenient and not afaict a typical side effect of metformin so i'm concerned my doctor is not going to take me seriously about it

hey @niq.aeli.net remember when I told you the Pokémon go level change was badly implemented? It's worse than I knew when I told you. The ranks now go up to 80 and people were ranked up as I mentioned the weird decompression thing but also everyone between ranks 45 and 50 ranked up to 70 not 80

i will not get into an internet argument about the race of cartoon animals. i will not get into an internet argument about the race of cartoon animals. i will not get into an internet argument about the race of cartoon animals. but someone is wrong on the internet

could my brain possibly avoid dream hallucinating a giant spider with a profusion of grasshopper legs sitting translucently on my elbow like I usually am fine with spiders but there are limits

i was like "moderation settings yeah we've all seen it" friends I had NOT seen this and it is really weird it's not main settings but hidden as an add-on I didn't subscribe to

went for a burger, a couple of kids are eating cotton candy flavor ice cream which is aggressively neon blue and pink, and they both have bright spots all around their mouths, on their noses and fingers. it's adorable

i want to make a judgy comment about someone's car at the food share but i'm not because we are not!! the poverty police!! but what i really want to know is. not whether they "deserve" anything. it's whether participation in mutual aid has changed their politics or if they'd still buy a musk-mobile

stood up for myself and needs (ha, ironically) by telling the foodshare coordinator i couldn't stand the whole shift and could I have a chair I got a chair AND a sun umbrella I think I mistakenly gave her the impression I couldn't walk around which is. Walking is easier than standing. oh well

i am very tired also my feet are tired. i'm waiting for the quiche to be done cooking & then probably i'll have a slice of apple pie and fall over in bed. less than a pint of eggnog to get me thru to friday morning. I'll have to stretch it with cream to get two lattes out of that.

my first ever lattice pie, pre-bake Juls, did you think you could cut in a straight line? hahaha

battin a thousand today I tried to use dry beans as pie weights on a crust and it didn't work the way I expected for the first crust so I promptly did it again for a second crust

it wasn't on my chore list, but i've been meaning to get to it: the organizational magnets for the chest freezer

oh ffs the ONLY thing on my ballot is prop 50 (CA) i was hoping i'd at least have school board or some shit but timing and rural have made this. so dumb. Do I think if the Republicans aren't playing fair, the Democrats should also (temporarily?) not play fair. I hate this troll prop. so tired.

to do tomorrow -pharmacy -ballot -figure out if i have more warm layers that got put away under a bed or in a closet when we moved i could've sworn i have another pair of the really good leggings -make a pie -eggnog latte or bust

absolutely freezing even though I have socks and leggings in my pajamas outfit and I'm fully burrito'd in bed I guess it's time for sleeping on a heating pad

oh also i went to the fancy dinner tonight, is the first time i've had drinks since starting metformin, there's a long warning that ends with "moderate drinking should be fine" so i'm curious to see if the metformin throws me Side Effect tonight

i had an idea about getting an e-scooter like maybe i would try to walk more places if i had a "I'm too tired to walk back" solution that wasn't calling my spouse. started researching and they're like $200-$1000+ unfortunately the ones that can a) go uphill and b) carry fat ppl are on the high end
