Dahlia got another skink.
She ate the head and legs. Left the body.
I assumed she ate the tail.
I steppeed on it after it went into rigor mortis.
She has such fun. I have such nightmares. And where are these things coming from? In a drought like this, they should be down at the creek valley o rsomething moist.

Happy Birthday! Baltimore, Maryland founded today in 1729.
Today in 1945, the USS Indianopolis, most known since the film Jaws came out, alas, went down after Japanese subs sunk her. They did so too late. USS Indy had already delivered components of the Hiroshima atomic bomb to the island of Tinian. Of 1196 sailors, 316 survived. The wind, the waves, the weather, got more than sharks. The sharks, largely believed to be tiger sharps or white-tips, accounted for up to 150. That's a solid 700 more attributable to the Pacific.
Happy birthday to medicare/medicaid! Signed into being today in 1965 and enacted in 1966, they've become so much a part of politics and economics that nobody remembers their socialist origins. They're not "rights". While I agree everyone has a right to healthcare, and shouldn't be driven into bankruptcy for it, I do get amused when we're told to avoid communism by people usinn g socialist programs. My gramps, btw, was a no-way on those programs, and when he wasn't allowed to refuse $$$ from Social Security or Medicare, he put it aside for his son with Down's and lived off his own earnings until his late 70s. Then he lived off savings. All of which is irrelevant, but shows that when it came to his ethics, good luck budging my gramps!
And in 1619, the first House of Burgess (that is, representative assembly) convened in jamestown, Virginia. This "plague" or "pestilence" of freedom would spread and within 200 years, there'd be no questioning the right to have such things without getting socked in the nose.

I'm exhausted, all. Doxycycline for 2 weeks is killing my GI tract. I'm broth-and-bread and if I'm lucky, rice. Whoo. This is NOT how to lose weight! NOT! But hey, I'll get rid of that last kilogram... Oh rapture?
Dahlia says MIAO AO WOW! (I think that's Hi, pet me!")

Another day, another ouchie?My bruised achilles tendon (don't ask) makes my foot numb. Wonky on meds, whacked it.Now, as to fibro:A lot of reports are going around some parts of social media that fibro (and dang near anything else) are caused by post-Covid, post-flu, post-vaccinations, post-pick-something.1. Your risk of death or serious complications beyond "ow, that shot hurt!" are typically...

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.
I'm exhausted, but today's turning out very slow. One of our surgeries canceled, and the other was a cat with 2 remaining teeth, which we removed and he's already awake. I bet I'll be out of here earlier than usual, which is fine by me. I think it's supposed to rain on and off this afternoon but not as bad as yesterday. I don't feel like it'll be a ton. It would be nice to have some time to relax a bit, and catch up on sleep. Even though I decided to sleep later this morning instead of running in the rain.
Hot here today and even hotter tomorrow. I'm over it.
AngelaJo had a bad fall last night on her front porch. Rotten wood let go and she fell. Ended up in ER. Nothing broken but in a lot of pain. On Robaxin for pain. Also, it's her BD which is too bad since she's bedridden for the moment. Please send her some birthday and get well wishes.
I lost my sh*t in the grocery store today. Walking down the main aisle with a mom and her 4 kids running wild approaching me. She's on her phone paying absolutely no attention to them, I'm trying to avoid the kids. The two older ones almost slammed into me. I lost it and shouted at her to get off of her da*mn phone and parent her kids. I guess that makes me the person who screams at kids to get off of the lawn lol. I really thought that I was going to be knocked over which is not on my list of things to do.
Leo- I would lose my mind if I stepped on a skink in that condition. That's for the history lesson too.
Miki - I'm glad that you get to leave early today. Extra rest is good. Enjoy it.
That's it for me! Waves!
Fan, LOL, I'm almost to that point. I just mutter but it's gonna be a yell soon!
Feeling worn out. Get some time in August, tho', so, yay?
