Also I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since Smallville. And I’m still in touch with so many of you. It’s awesome! 😁

Kind of overwhelmed with the past 24 hours. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster. Plus I had therapy where my counselor took one look at me and said, “Good lord I’ve never seen you so anxious, and that’s saying something.”
Taking a wee break. Will be back no later than the morning. Love to all! 💜💜💜

OK. Called the pharmacy to try to get pricing on needed prescriptions for surgery. They couldn’t give me pricing without the actual prescriptions in their system. So they gave me retail. One of the four, Emend, is $3228.00.
Obviously it won’t be that expensive with insurance. But holy crap.

Halp. I’m in the DW rich text editor and I can’t seem to get my cut tags right. It is still < lj-cut > and then < /lj-cut > minus the spaces, yes? I’m not seeing it actually hide the text behind a cut in the preview.

Oh geez. #surgery “The pre-op diet is typically low in carbohydrates which helps deplete glycogen stores in the liver making it smaller and easier to move during the surgery (your liver sits on top of your stomach!).”
For some reason knowing this right now is making me fairly queasy. 🤢

This is about elections.
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

Went looking for mini mooncakes to have before I can’t have them anymore, and got sidetracked into Mid-Eastern cookies and other desserts. And did I miss the bus on Dubai chocolate? Is this a thing now?
The desserts sound delicious, btw.

Wildly curious about a tea that’s $40/oz. I do love me some oolong. Alas, it remains outside my reach. Unless I hit the lottery. Hmm. *bookmarks*

Ancient Tree Duckshit Oolong (Updated Nov 2025)
Leo's Personal Take (Nov, 2025): This year has been rough for Phoenix oolong. I tried so many Duckshit oolongs—dozens—and honestly none of them lived up to last year’s quality. So when I finally found...

Progress on cleaning up my depression cave continues. I got quite a bit done in a small burst of enthusiasm last night. Enough to fill a whole garbage bag at least. Granted, half if that is broken down cardboard boxes, but it definitely looks more open in here.

Telling myself I need to eat *something* to buffer the meds I’m about to take. I should do that before I head to my bedroom to take them, because if I enter that room? I’m totally crawling back into bed to get some more sleep.
Getting up though. So hard this morning.

I want to try this so bad. Sticky rice just makes me super happy.
Did you hear about our newest winter fave? Sticky Rice Shou Puer is here, fresh from the farm! This baby vintage was harvested in 2024, but don't let its young age fool you; the rich depth and remarkable smoothness is unparalleled in this gem of a leaf!

Bardot's views were not "controversial", she was an old fashioned jackboot fascist obsessed with bloodline purity. Lovely cheekbones though, so swings and roundabouts I guess if you are an obit writer today?
This is from Bardot's memoir "Un cri dans le silence" btw. I've seen a lot of people mentioning her "right wing politics" with a hand wave, so they can talk about her beauty or animal activism, but not actually sitting with the ugliness of her legacy.

"Activism" in this case includes loud support for France's far right National Rally and disparaging LGBTQ+, Muslims and immigrants.
Brigitte Bardot, one of cinema’s most iconic sex symbols who quit the business to focus on activism, has died at age 91.

I’m trying to use up or toss anything sugary in the house before I start my pre-op liquid diet next week. I was fine during the week I did at the end of November, but it’s better to remove the temptation now, I think.

Woke from a dream about my last gig at Microsoft. Some people might call it a nightmare.
It was just a recollection of what actually happened. *shudder*
