Mild

The weather was kinda nice today. It was warm enough for me to open the windows in my home office. The cats approved.

Change of subject. Here is my unsolicited political thought of the day.

I grew up under the threat of nuclear war. I am very familiar with existential dread. What I did not expect is that the source of the worst existential dread would be some fucking moron who can't do math…… ……but here we are.

Evening In

No band practice tonight. One guy called it before we had a start time worked out. That’s three Sundays in a row with nothing. If we don’t play next weekend, I am going to start getting back into my uber pessimist mode. Insert frustrated sigh here.

On the upside, Jen made a great salmon dinner tonight. It was lovely. She is lovely, so that just makes sense.

So now that we’re home for the night, here are a couple of cat pics. Just for fun.

Crash

It has been a long time since I’ve had a blood sugar crash. It happened tonight. Things are slowly getting back to normal. Here’s a cat photo I forgot to post earlier. It should tide me over while I wait for the shakes to stop. Any minute now.
