We're messing with my bp meds and something has me minorly dehydrated; my doctor wanted me to go back to drinking an extra 4L of water a day like I did the months leading up to my kidney surgery until we stop fiddling
I'm doing it, but damn, it's taking some time to get used to again

Two of the things I really liked about Target when I shopped there was the employees left me alone but were nearby if I needed something
I didn't stop shopping there because they were too aloof ...

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Saw a sweatshirt I really like in the back of my closet that I don't think I wore at all last winter - so I wore it this morning to breakfast
And, now I remember. It's thick and heavy - perfect for icy days with strong winds, but a morning in the low 50s? I was melting the entire time

I love upbeat songs with dark lyrics - The Smiths and The Cure set me down that path long ago
But i've been on a tangent looking for the opposite which is harder. Dark or melancholic music with upbeat lyrics isn't done a lot unless as a cover
Love Song For a Vampire by Annie Lennox does it well

And we are introduced to Goodness every day,

He has a name like Billy and is almost perfect,
