Every time a little - obviously propeller - plane buzzes over the house to the tiny local airport I remember how my uncle’s house was destroyed when one of those little planes crashed on it. Fortunately he was at work and no one was in the house BUT STILL

this guy’s personal wealth is roughly the gdp of portugal. he could personally cover healthcare of every person living in the state of illinois for a year and still be one of the tenth richest people alive. he’d be just as rich as he was two years ago.

Outlier is pissing me off. FREON and HIJAB are totally words.

Our 30th anniversary is next month and George just said “Let’s go to Bozeman for our anniversary” and I burst into tears 🖖

I’m feeling very discourage about medical stuff but at least we can open our windows today and Mika can lie on the deck!

I have to have minor surgery next month and yesterday I had to sit through a lecture about my BMI and how hard it is going to be to operate on me and how “my patients rarely need pain meds” and I know this is gonna suck. (Do NOT tell me to find another doctor as that is not an option.)
