You don't come out of life, you don't get out unscathed

[sovay]

And today the urgent care appointment for which we spent the afternoon and evening running around the barn and back was spatch's. The telehealth for which we had scheduled him last night after the cold that had been stringing along for the last week flipped suddenly into his characteristic skull-lancing presentation of sinus infection should have been enough, but he encountered an unnecessarily dismissive doctor and instead I had to scramble him an appointment in person which for given values of luckily we were able to make because he was doing so badly that he was allowed out of his nine-hour shift early. The urgent care doctor was chill and competent and recognized me from a different clinic, pre-pandemic. Rob has antibiotics and we had a dinner of fried chicken and buttermilk biscuits and brussels sprouts and ranch fries from Lily P's in Kendall Square and I passed out on the couch again from not having slept the previous night. I am reading Edwin P. Hoyt's Mutiny on the Globe (1975), which my father saw in a little free library on the Cape and brought home for me on general grounds of maritime. I keep watching movies which I think will be disposable and then wanting to say something about them. Send universal basic income, please.

Food, books, and movies worth talking about are at least something, although *hugs* again for the wherewithal and time to do the talking about them. ♥

ETA: I made a thing! (Although, to my annoyance I have JUST noticed that I don't think 7 out of 8 of the gifs have the aspect ratio quite right, so I may have to redo it sometime, but OH WELL.)

You can have my sprouts! :o)

I'm one of the 16% who tastes them as unbearably bitter.
