Assorted Short Bits

Ya know what my fantasy (maybe one day reality) ticket is? Harris/Duckworth Oh yeah babies!

I understand Biden hit it outta the park last night WITH real actual facts, no schoolyard slams or fascist bloviating. It is SO good to have a real president again!

At right is is Girlfriend, named such because, we think she and Umlaut had a thing going on last year. We suspect she’s got a home as she’s not been spotted (by me anyway) over this winter. Our boy Ume’s doing well having chubbed up nicely under Ten and Jen’s generous care. Once I’m mobile again, extreme spoiling (TREATS and more of ‘em) will return.

Coco and Skitter are enjoying the hell out of the longer days of sunshine. They strike poses like they’re just waiting for Fernand Fonssagrives to show up and snap a shot.

I’m actually leaving the house this morning. I have to sign my amended will. That’s one part of all that depressing pre-surgery, just-in-case bullshit). Afterward I'll see my cornea minder (follow up and more pre-slice prep) and check in with my surgeon’s support staff re: all the pre-op shit I gotta do. I’m, officially, one week out from my fourth BIG, BIG neuro surgery of the past two years. WhooHoo — do I know how to par-tay or WUT?

One nice thing is that, I’ve just been told, since I always get a refund/never owe, I don’t need to do my tax prep pre op. I, likely, will though — one less pile of undone crap waiting for me at home.

While I’m qualified to get the vaccine now (and have been since Phase II began) I can’t as it MAY conflict with the billion and one half drugs I’ll be on for surgery and post-op recovery. I’d like to find out, today if possible, a general, projected date for my shot.

When I’m far enough down Recovery Road, I’d really like it if Ten and I motored up to Maine to see my pal Michie. She also has Nf2 and has done the rehab tango. She’s  been giving me hot rehab tips — like how to get ice cream (clearly a schedule I drug) from the nurses four times a day. “Try this: I cannot get that huge pill down with water. Apple sauce doesn’t work either. It has to be ice cream.” Michie is OBVS brill!

Also in Maine is my cousin Gary and his fab wife Dawn. I’ve not seen them in WAY too fucking long!

I’ve been inside for so long, avoiding people, I’m a bit skittish about, post vaccine, going out. I look forward to seeing friends and family again, I truly hope to get back to my Icelandic, silica, infused heaven, I want to take pics of all the blooms in the Public Garden BUT easing back in may be a long process. At this point, I can’t imagine flying or eating INSIDE a restaurant. There are still far too many die hard MAGAt morons in the country.

Finally, HAPPY FRIDAY!
