Though, as an afterthought, my date really is "the instant I can". Once I get Schrodinger's Cancer sorted out, that day might be the very next day. The last three weeks have given me a lot of time to think about priorities.

Then I got meds I can't seem to schedule due to the requirements for using them...empty stomach...don't take other meds within a certain amount of time, damn near knocking myself out last night and waking up with a hell of a headache and crunchy hair today.

Husband suggested I get a helmet.

Do wash... you don't want that to get infected.

Gently washed and brushed out.  Held a piece of tissue over the wound for a minute or so and only got a spot of blood that was obviously watered down from hair being damp...BIG improvement over the massacre looking blood flow last night.

Heading to the pool to assist with some students

Essentially, I have to always have an empty stomach while they bitch at me about not gaining weight.

I can't even math out a plan that would work other than to take that new one before I go to bed and as soon as I wake up.  Not sure when to take the other meds and calcium, iron, Vitamin D, and B Complex they want me to take.

This seems like Algebra is involved and I am going to cry.

Vitamins can typically be taken with food.

I was grousing about work one day and my wife said I should get a retirement package and give it to her parent's investment people for analysis. Nothing ventured, etc. Three months later we went in and I was told that I could retire any time. Not an answer I ever expected to hear. I figured I'd be found slumped over my desk. That was April '14. I waited until 5 weeks before my last day and gave notice, as that made it 25 years. My management was agog, side-eye everywhere. I'd've had the last laugh, but the three people they put on the work that I had been doing meant they could  charge the gov more.  

Did the same in around 2012.  Advisor asked "why you still working?"

Retired after teaching high school Physics and Chemistry for twenty years, in '14 at 58.  Never looked back.

Setting alarms is for amateurs.

Watching baseball. I tried out my second stainless steel pan. It was "Used - Like New" from Amazon, but the emphasis was definitely on 'like' rather than 'new'. It was discolored and I suspect had been used as there was some pitting, but it cleaned up fine, and for $20 I can't complain. I also bought a stainless steel wok. That's a bit more of an experiment as it may be more difficult preventing food sticking on that. But it was only $25 and so I thought I'd try it. I like the heat retention of tri-ply stainless steel.

Waiting for a Walmart delivery. They changed their delivery windows from one hour to two hours. This is my first order since the change. They were out of my ice cream, so I'm hoping to run to Aldi after they arrive.

Watching baseball and drinking coffee. I'm trying several of Walmart's different blends. Today is classic roast. It's much better than I expected. It's quite good.
