Bravo!

Lex (my gf) gets first letters mixed around. Classic examples include “pickcheas” for chickpeas, and so on.

Today she referred to mixed nuts as “nixed muts” and I am still laughing as I write this : )

Every time she fucks up we incorporate the borken words into our vocabulary. This is what love is all about

Mine is zero, also. I’m genuinely surprised, considering my grandfather was dead of a heart attack by the time he was my age, and my dad was having stents put in. I guess my cautious diet is paying off!

I also was pleasantly surprised, though your family history is much scarier than mine. My father and both grandfathers all died suddenly of heart attacks, but they were all in their 70s. Anyway, I ticked quite a few of the boxes for elevated risk: family history, heavy drinker (at times), high cholesterol (at times), not a regular exerciser (at times), depression/anxiety, so I went for peace of mind.

Steroids are turning my Beagle's health around. I can't tell you how happy I am about it.

That's awesome. Near the end of my first beagle's life (she had terminal cancer), steroids definitely perked her up and she seemed like herself, at least for a little bit.

I miss my two beagles, though oddly don't really miss having a dog.

Yesterday I sliced off my fingertip while chopping onions so now I can barely use my left hand. Tying my shoes is especially difficult.

A moment of rushed inattentiveness and there you are thinking "Ah man, the next couple of days are gonna suck."

That's happened to me before, I was cutting potatoes on a mandoline and I briefly zoned out by how smoothly it was slicing them and then OH FUCK

I've felt your pain.

I did that to my pinky with a Y-peeler peeling a lemon during one of my first bartending shifts. My boss told me to put lemon juice on it. Worst pain I ever felt, but it stopped bleeding. I wrapped it, put a cot on it, and went back to work. I think I changed the bandage and cot multiple times during that shift.
