4 Movies “By Association”
1 Wendy’s Junior Cheeseburger Eaten as Part of Dinner
Okay, so, this might seem a little random but I really miss Robin Williams’ movies. I could rattle off more than a few of his movies off the top of my head. I could associate at least one role with a particular emotion, even. But holy fuck do I hate having depression in common with him.

1 Cardigan Finally Given to Grandma Gator!
We made the trip to and from Aunt and Uncle Gator’s place today. It was a good day. Loud, but full of laughter, family, and a birthday cake for me! I finally gave Grandma Gator the cardigan I crocheted for her! I’m really happy with how it turned out and she loved it! I have to get up super, super early for my flight home tomorrow.

1 Load of Laundry Done
Not much to say today. I’m having a really bad fibromyalgia flare up. The exhaustion is really bad AND I’m in so much pain. I can’t even crochet.
I’m going to bed.
Take your meds, folks.
Man, it’s been a minute since I posted one of these. The new med I’m still adjusting to is supposed to have a soporific effect. But I’m just staring at the ceiling while Mac snores the night away. Even Spock is asleep!
Oh well.
Maybe I’ll tried to read more on A Court of Thorns and Roses while I’m awake? Or just meditate. I dunno.
Take your meds, folks.

3.25 Cups of Chicken Stock
1 Pound of Mushrooms
So, I really need to get to bed. But I made mushroom and onion soup and Caesar salad for dinner. It was delicious and took less than an hour.
Now, I overslept by an hour today, so I’m going to bed now.
Take your meds, folks.
