Son of a gun! It helps when one actually remembers to hit “publish” instead of leaving a post in drafts!
I am out of spoons. I spent the day trying to figure out the system at work and my brain is short circuited.
I love my job, but I’m going to bed. I need a hard reset before Friday.
Take your meds, folks!

I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner today. That’s literally the third time this month that’s happened. I need to get better about eating regularly. At the new job, I hope to pack lunches to be able to keep things in balance.

So, while J and I were driving towards picking up pizza for Bill6, since he doesn’t do fifteen bean soup, we almost got into an accident as some pair of shmucks cut me off and nearly knocked my front bumper off in a near-miss sideswipe.
It sucked, but I’m glad we’re both okay and so is Peggy (my car).
