And in the nighttime we go out and scour the streets for trouble

Whatever else I had planned to do with my afternoon turned into Operation OTC, by which I mean that one of my maintenance medications failed to come in to the pharmacy to the point where I ran out of it and thus I had to run around with [personal profile] spatch looking for a tide-over until such time as either the pharmacy or my insurance or both of these cogs in the coarse-grinding mills of American healthcare should get their act together, which fortunately we were able to do at merely stupid expense of time and concentration and, yes, money. On the bright side, I got an herbal chai out of the quest and he got a ginger lemonade and we split a lemon scone and I met a nice tree while being rained on. This song was playing at one point. I discovered the band in the summer of 2018 and associate them with long, light-filled explorations of Boston when I didn't feel so locked in by the world.

I'm glad the quest was successful (albeit aggravating and costly).

Congratulations on winning today's quest in the worst LARP, "US health care"

Nice blossoms!

Aw, that sounds unnecessary and unfun, so I am glad to hear that at least their were productive side-quests and beautiful blossom (hopefully non-evil?).

NOt to be a total nuisance, which I am about to be, BUT since I was going on about Enigma the other day I just found Jeremy gifs from it and it has made my day. I was just thinking about making some because there are none and THEN LOOK:

As I said, he swans about scene stealing as the amoral Intelligence guy and this set gets his full Wigram glory here, I think. I am delighted.

(Plus, is William H Macy a name I have seen you write about???)

That is a tree that makes me exhale in relief--and I haven't even had to live through operation OTC.

I heard that lavender chai is a thing now. I want to try it.

Waiting for a pharmacy and a health insurance company to work together sometimes feels like waiting for the Northern Illinois and Great Southern broods of cicadas to emerge at once. Still, the tree is lovely (and the lilacs, too, are in bloom).
