6 Oreos Eaten

1 Bowl of Tater To Nachos Eaten for Dinner

I hate not having bookshelves. Hate, hate, hate it. I’m still living out of boxes and bags and it is grating on my nerves.

I went to the doctor yesterday and got diagnosed with “pretty bad bursitis” of my left hip. Pain meds, ice, heat, and rest have all been recommended and done.

I just want to not hurt.

Lucian made totchos for dinner this evening. Tater tot nachos. They were ridiculously good.

I’m going to go pass out.

Take your meds, folks.

We did get an amazing applewood smoked butterkase cheese, a habanero jack cheese, and another that I can’t remember right now.
