There are certain types who can meal plan. There are others who give/sell plans. I can’t use those, either. Then they try to explain how to swap if you don’t like a specific meal.

I sometimes have leftovers, I plan to eat them, and I forget.

I’ve never been able to track the changing symptoms.

Also, not everyone wants to wrinkle their good clothes. I’m not even sure people flying business/first class dress up, unless they are going somewhere directly from the airport.

Yeah.

I guess he’s been working behind the scenes.

Good, that’s quick. Poor kitty. And poor you!

I’m not good at napping, but sometimes I doze in my chair.

That doesn’t sound great.

I thought it always had a vaguely SF underpinning, even if it came across as fantasy. They probably look at the spine to see what the publisher currently says.

Yeah, I live in an apartment building, and my neighbors would absolutely not appreciate it. I’d probably wipe them out with a wet cloth or paper towel.

Sometimes I’m more awake at night. But I’m not touching the kitchen drawers. I’d probably have nightmares. (Yeah, I have such a long list of things to do that I’m not sure where or how to start.)

The gardens outside local buildings still have some flowers.

Not exactly an option here. We just have to throw out a few things already on the counter.

There’s no space for it. Right now, it’s on a side cabinet with cabinets right over it. Not a good place to use it.

I was wondering if you were a little early. At least it’s resolved.
November 23, 2025 at 12:31 AM
Oh no!

I’ve heard that, but I still haven’t figured out the pressure cooker. We don’t have much space here, so it has to be moved to use.

That’s not good. It looks steadier here, although it might be a bit gusty on Thursday. Not so great for the parade.

We weren’t sure what we were doing; fortunately my mom agreed to go to my sister’s, so I don’t have to cook and clean. It’s not easy for mom to go out these days, but my sister also hosts in-laws.

I can’t imagine making deviled eggs. I don’t have the hang of peeling eggs.

I think I sometimes have trouble on my left side because I push the blanket to the side, and end up pressing against it. But yeah, certain pains are particularly scary.

I finally found a new PCP in my hospital network who takes my insurance, so at least I can get referrals if necessary.
