I feel like if I wasn't double vaxxed-boosted I'd be in serious dutch right now instead of climbing out of it.

Probably not gonna bother with local primary today. I usually do, but the machine got behind certain candidates pretty hard for this one (hardly the first time), and I'd vote for an actual potato over any conservatives in November. Civic duty fail..

My daughter was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome last week, which explains much of the pain she’s been trying to tolerate. I’ve been spending a lot of time listening to podcasts and reading articles on the subject. I hate that she’s going to have to deal with this the rest of her life. Anyone know someone who has EDS?

I wonder if there should be a "parts of the song you actually remember" thread.

And all you can remember from that A Ha song is "blahdiblahblahdayortWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Another day in the world.

Today I learned there is a Def Leppard EP called "The Two Arm Years".

My youngest daughter started high school marching band this week and we just got back from the parent preview.

So proud of her! She’s a trumpet player and band dork just like her parents.

One of my favourite internet people, Merrick Deville, attempted suicide a few days ago. All appears well now. It happens just like that.

This should be marked as NSFW/nudity. I'm currently between jobs so I'm not complaining
