I can tell I’ve mostly recovered from the food poisoning incident; I feel more or less alive and wanting caffeine at work.

A surprisingly good use of my semi-workable German: sourcing car parts.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

I might actually drag myself to work today. It’s amazing how much good a cup of coffee and hydration are doing, post-food-poisoning.

You def don’t expect that the absolutely brainless orange cat is the one who wakes you up when the stove gas is on

Zofran and coconut electrolyte drink and water and triscuits are A+

Zofran and Gatorlyte in coconut flavor are why I’m not entirely dead yet

At present, the dodgy chicken is allegedly winding down and all I need to do is rehydrate Allegedly

The last time food poisoning took me out to the point of “hello urgent care, iv fluids pls” was due to a chicken burrito

Panini 1, Rocky 0. Time to now try to recover and rehydrate

Why does food poisoning like to happen at night when you have stuff to do the next day In other news, that chicken pesto panini was likely dodgy

Even a modern Jaguar with mostly Bosch electrics may demonstrate that it still features the original Lucas intermittent windshield wipers

Got confirmation of having an absolutely badass February at work. Can I take a nap now

Before and after, exhaust manifold painted. The engine bay now smells… minty fresh?

There’s something so satisfying about a serious heavy-duty deep clean. Prob because you can see the results of the work.

The Demon of Cleaning has appeared. Beware, any specks of dirt.

Every time I'm absolutely baffled about something Jaguar related, I could just read the original parts catalogue from JLR Classic. So far I've figured out the choke mechanism and confirmed how to remove the exhaust manifold heat shield.

"Car meet" almost sounds like a time for everyone to bring their cars together to socialize and learn to play nice with other cars. Kind of like a dog park.

Starting the day with the first car meet of the year was definitely a good weekend choice.

My entire spine is angry at me but it was a worthwhile coming into work adventure

Have you ever done a car deal while watching a UConn basketball game

Came in to work on Saturday to turkey sandwich and reasonable car deals.

My greatest issue with the Vyvanse generics is, how do you fuck up a prodrug Then again, extended release adhd meds do not seem compatible with shitty generic manufacturing

It’s officially I can’t focus on anyth o’clock at work

Awful Shoulder is being awful, but at least I successfully badgered my insurance into doing something not-useless and paying for Executive Function Pills, Original Flavor (because the generic version is garbage)

The terrible irony of ADHD, where you have all the pharmacy calls and insurance calls and doctor calls to stay medicated and functional-ish While you have an executive function disorder

Someone needs to uninvent complicated prior authorizations and find a nice universal healthcare system like what civilized countries have

Some days, I just need people to do their jobs and not use my brain to do it

Afternoon thoughts: the holding pattern for others to finish work that you then need to attack is very good for making me not want to do more work

Snow tires are the best and I highly recommend them.
