@XaoslordErie happy birthday! May you make many more such circuits. 🎂

“To all you saints and sinners, you losers and you winners, here’s to one more day above the roses!”

@Tarnagh yep. Today was the pregame show.

Work today was just bonkers and I am still trying to unpack it all so I can show up tomorrow with a game face and not the rage-quit face.

Patients spewing toxic politics, patients spitting on, hitting, and biting nursing staff, visitors asking for info I couldn’t provide even if they were torturing me for it because I JUST DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO IT, visitors pretending to be a SI patient’s psychiatrist to try to convince RN they don’t need pink slip…

THE DUCK?

@LiseL the thought of it is getting me all jazzed. We recently bought a little fire bowl for the backyard and some camp chairs to do some bonfires in the backyard this fall. Can’t wait to see where the 6yo falls on the Marshmallow doneness chart. 🤭 She’ll probably be the straight from the bag into the mouth sort… or setting them ablaze for the novelty but never eating them.

@SmirkingRaven just feels like he cares more about distant relations thinking well about him than the closest ones and that’s some shit. Gram would have handed him his ass, were she still with us.

@LiseL I get it. A perfectly roasted marshmallow is an art form. One I have zero patience for. Plus it remains entertaining to blow out that little fireball that burns so beautifully.

@LiseL let’s go! The firehose could use a little chaotic good.

@LiseL it’s 9 or 10 for me. The rest? They’re completely unacceptable.

@Victor oooh the #facepareidolia is tripping me out. I will never not see a pleasant robot wearing a fancy hat. Rover, schmover.

Trying not to feel hurt tonight because life is too short for grudges. But today my grandfather (96yo) attended the wedding of my second cousin’s kid.

But he didn’t make it to mine in 2016 or my brother’s last October… citing both were too far to travel.

Trying so hard to not be pissed. Not succeeding.

@DonnaCC welcome! 🍍

Where are we on the news/politics fatigue spectrum?

Ew. Today was like the full moon 🌕 pre-game show. #healthcareworkers

Every year I tell myself that I will buy myself a larger capacity waffle maker for my birthday, Mother’s Day, Christmas, whatever. And do I? No.

It’s almost like I enjoy standing in the kitchen making four inch waffles one at a time for literally an hour and three minutes. 😜

Good morning! Coffee is brewed. ☕️ Waffles are cooking. 🧇 Anti-inflammatories working their magic on my wrist. 💊

Happy Friday!

@TetsuKaba well that sounds like a whole nightmare. Hoping this shift improves for you asap.
