Telephone

Up before the sun, but that's perfectly manageable working from home. Unfortunately, I forgot to plug my fun phone in last night, though it wasn't quite out. Kathy was still out, and unfortunately I forgot that, so I didn't take her work automatically. Not a huge deal, I just prefer to take work without telling anyone. There were a few more mix-ups, some of which were at least partially my fault, but we got them fixed, I think. I felt a little off and ill all day, and thought maybe it was something I ate? Chihuahua food standards have risks, and I couldn't even remember when I rehydrated that bulk batch of soy curls. I thought they might very well have gone bad, and the smell gave credence to that worry. Since I'd been cleaning the cat boxes throughout each day, our trash can was over half full of litter. That's very heavy, so together with the rest of the soy curls, I figured it was maybe time to take the trash out, back or no back. I called Tim again, but he was still fixing Jae's boat.

I called Valor Pharmacy in the morning, they called Riz, I called them back, and they shipped out my meds 2-day Fed-Ex, signature waived. Naturally, in the back of my head I was still worried they'd send it to the wrong place or something. I detest getting my hopes up - too much opportunity for disappointment. When Julian came home, we mostly listened to music. I played a few new and old finds for him, and I think I'll make my music collection a project. He'd made progress on much of his To Do List, including calling Affinity Dental. When he told them he was my husband, they lit up over me being sunshine, rainbows, and sparkles, went on and on about how I brighten everyone's day. He imagined an explosion of flower confetti as they spoke, and told me that was really exactly the response he expected. There are worse reputations. He didn't get around to contacting the therapist referrals, so I'll keep nudging.

He went out for cigarettes in the evening, but came back with beer, jerky, chicharrons, and Ranch corn pops. The corn pops were surprisingly vegan, but given his mom's purchasing habits, this will be something to watch. He made dinner - just burgers & fries, but he only did it if I agreed to eat. As ridiculous as it was, this is the exact reason I made that bargain. If we cook, I eat. I didn't manage much - just some fries, but he was fine with that. He also made brussel sprouts for himself and he's welcome to all of them. Tim always makes roasted sprouts for TG, so maybe they can bond over it. He asked for leg rubs while we watched Great News, and the Cecily Strong episode had some gems. Just as I went to bed, he made a comment about fucking. I offered, but just having eaten dinner, and in particular Brussel sprouts, he then declined.
