What's everyone up to right now?

My new water bottle against my old water bottle:



And why it had to be replaced:



And no, I couldn’t just replace that part because I can’t find a replacement.

For the record, it works well. Having a vacuum compartment really helps the ice stay cold. I can’t say I miss the 4-6 oz extra water capacity the old one had.

Having a spot of tea. I've just learned that on the weekday, I can run to Aldi's after my morning book reading and get back in plenty of time for my morning exercise.

2023.

Fuck you!

First my dad dies.

4 days later, my cat does the same.

No another is sick and likely to go.

Fuck you!

That's it!

I'm done!!

Was just watching a Facebook live feed of a former client who is a makeup artist and a drag queen. He was getting ready to go provide entertainment for a wedding reception and made the comment that he called the people to make sure there were not going to be any kids there. He sings and dances and imitates various well-known actresses and has to make sure that no child will see him do it.

This ridiculous crap has gone too far.

Reading up on the medical procedure I am undergoing next week (cervical epidural steroid injection). I see this as a largely pointless exercise (fuck Anthem BCBS with a rusty pitchfork) to forestall the inevitable.

Trying to decide if I should even bother to sweep up all the seed pods that have blown in the back door. This is a spring thing here....damn things clog up the pool, stick to the dogs, and screw up your sinuses as they waft around for weeks spreading their nasty yellow pollen. This is one of those jobs that's never done. It seems to make more sense to pick a time of day and know that you might have a pod-free hour depending on the outdoor needs of the dogs. sigh

Getting ready to head out and look for a new dog van, Toyota or Honda. The current one has 170K miles.

These days 'new' is a realitive (and very frustrating) term.

Them Coyotes are awfully nice. Not sure they're good for a dog.

Unfortunately I agree with you,.............. but these are the hoops that need to be jumped threw.

Meanwhile, the spinal doc wants me off of opioids (I do too) but that can't happen until something else is done to reduce the pain. Can't work or do much of anything until then.
