I need to make sure to acknowledge @nicolerprause.bsky.social for her support and help here, too. One day, I'm going to write some spicy laboratory-themed thriller, and she's going to help me with all the science-y stuff! (At least, that's my dream!!)

Just got a diagnosis of calcification tendonitis in my shoulder today. The doctor didn't say, "Welcome to almost 50; you're old now" but I could see it in his eyes. We will see how this steroid shot works.

When we moved to Iowa I picked up my first celebrity comparison from kids the same age of my kids: Bill Nye.
