Announcer: "Chiki is the strongest link in this round."

They're structuring it so that the disruption will be minimal at worst, so there's that. (No period of "going without.") Now getting ready for noon visit -- but they're now also sending me across town to their other location immediately after ... for more work. Sigh.

And in an unexpected and unwelcome plot twist, the marathon session ended up doing only half the planned work, so I have to go back for more ... tomorrow at noon. Send nu-- no, send hugs. And maybe a nice large thick vanilla milkshake for tomorrow afternoon. 🍨

Just finished a two-part (!) visit to basically "stabilize the patient." 4pm tomorrow is intense work to save the ones that can be saved, and then multiple visits through January to ... well, it ain't pretty, and it's mid-four-figures out of pocket. 😿 Time to launch that OF for reals, I guess. 😇

After spending most of the weekend in bed, I got out this morning and managed a house-minimum 20 miles with a little extra, a lot more than I expected, so that's good. And it gave me something to focus on ahead of this dentist visit ... for which I've shed the facial hair, so now you get twinky me.

It really sucks that, on a night full of triumph, the local election situation turned out worse than I imagined. SW UT reinforces its reputation as a haven for ultra-right wackos (it's next to pukepit Mohave Co. AZ after all!), and living here with them in power is going to be even more dangerous. 😿
