I listened to this on my walk last night and scared a dog because I suddenly laughed so hard. One of the funniest episodes yet, and that's a pretty high bar.

I just did a financial accounting task that I have been dreading for more than a year and wow, it was more awful than I expected. I am low key financially freaking out now, but at least I finally know what I'd been avoiding. So there's that.

That Tinashe song is holding my brain hostage, just blaring on repeat. I cannot dislodge it. Half awake at 3:45 in the morning, "too cool with their sunnies and their baggy pants." looping. Such a stranglehold.

But I also remember the local library did a kid's movie afternoon during the summer and showed us the old black and white Dracula movie. I was terrified of the space between my bed and the wall for years.

Apparently I had to be taken out of the theater in sobs during the forest fire in Bambi, which I think is completely fair.

My mom said she read that babies that learn to walk later are smarter, so she discouraged me from trying to walk till I was over a year old. Either that was wrong and this is just how smart I am anyway, or it was right and oh my god how much more stupid would I be if I'd walked sooner.

When I am feeling all calm and centered in yoga class, that's when the universe sends in someone who is THIRTY FIVE minutes late to loudly set up their mat next to me.

My colon was just being dramatic on the earlier scan. Super pleased I don’t have to get another colonoscopy this year! Also I love this gastroenterologist, he was great. I hope I never need him again.

I'm thrilled that I'm going to be performing at Sid's for my NINTH burlesque anniversary! Just 9 years ago, I got up on stage for the first time as a performer and it still remains one of my favorite performances. It was everything I wanted it to be.

This early fall weather is gorgeous, but also I have to change outfits 4 times during the day and at no point will I be appropriately dressed for ideal comfort in the temperatures.

I had to get a follow up CT scan today and that involved an IV. The first stick didn't work and hurt a lot. Second stick did it, also hurt! The CT contrast feels so weird. To reward myself, I got a fish burrito the size of my face from Baja Burrito.

How is it just lightly touching the back of a finger to a hot pan can create such a tiny painful burn? It's so small and it's barely visible and yet it hurts so much

I woke up sometime in the wee hours after midnight with the thought, "they should put an Old Navy in all the airports!" and it kept me half awake for a long while. In the light of day, I can see the flaws in this idea, but I still think it contains a kernel of genius.

I have finally had to accept that as much as I love books, as much as I love reading all kinds of books, as much as I love talking about books, I do not love book clubs. They are not for me.

Whew that school lunch thread gave me so many new people to block. The "why don't you just..." crowd is almost always both full of shit and acting from an unearned and undeserved sense of superiority.

This is not insignificant part of why I've just kind of stopped watching tv. I pay for 3 tv services and I haven't even turned on my tv in probably 2 months. Between the rate hikes, the ads, and canceling anything I like, it's hard to give a damn. Especially when there are so many books.

The events of 9/11 absolutely changed my family in very significant ways. My then husband would do many tours in Afghanistan and Iraq and get injured. But the detail that I want to share is that no one could reach me that morning because I was tying up the landline illegally downloading music.

I don't want to jinx anything but the nerve pain and aggravating discomfort is a LOT better than last few days. There's still lots of sensation but it's not as painful and distracting anymore. Now I have to keep doing my little PT exercises and not get complacent with it.

I haven't turned on my tv in a month or two now. I keep thinking I'll watch a new show or just turn on something I enjoy but I just got out of the habit. I also really like silence I guess.

Okay I've got a gig booked for the end of the month which means this nerve pain has 3 weeks to chill TF out. Ideally sooner so I can rehearse in a normal fashion, but make no mistake, I will power through. I've got a new act I want to bring. I think of it as "spiritually Oscar the Grouch".

So today the nerve pain is doing a fun new thing where I swear I'm resting the back of my arm against some sort of very scratchy, prickly, annoying surface. But no! No matter how many times I check my shirt and my chair, it's just the nerves being insane.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

I think I haven't been posting much because all I want to do is either complain about the weather or moan about this stupid nerve pain. So this will be one post about both. This weather is infuriating, 101 in September, fuck OFF. My nerve stuff is getting a lot better but still painful and bad.
