nwhiker1. Tim Walz. He was my second choice for VP, after Secretary Pete, whom I actually adore. I was meh on Beshear, ick on Kelly, and Shapiro was a hard no (no, it wasn't Israel, being Jewish, or his confused story about volunteering -or not- for the IDF) because of the cover up for sexual harassment. Walz, I like, I'm thrilled with the positive energy this ticket is going to generate. I don't know if they can win, but if they don't it will be about our systemic EC weakness, nothing else. What I find funny is that Harris has recreated, in some way, the same energy as the Biden-Harris ticket. Fingers crossed, people.
2. Ugh, the abx are kicking my ass. I've been taking doxycyline for a few months for some skin stuff. It's been fine, no issues. The provider gave me an additional week of it, along with another antibiotic, for the cellulitis. I could not get it at Costco because Sunday, so I went to Bartells. OMFG, all generics are not created alike, holy hell. This one is horse pills -truly gigantic- and when I urped it up this morning -something that never happened in the past three months I've been taking this same med in a different format, the acid burn (pH is apparently between 1.8 and 3.3) left my throat in serious pain. I spent the day gagging on the thick mucous that I suspect is my body trying to coat a very painful and injured throat. OTOH, the infection is resolving a bit, I think. The swelling has gone back down to elbow level -it was a few inches past that on my biceps Sunday- and the whole area is much less painful. But yeah, don't get sick on a Sunday when Costco pharmacy isn't open, folks!
3. Linnea had to empty her apartment into our place. We're packed to the gills already, especially since all the stuff of my aunt's that my sister brought down from Vancouver.... she left here, I thought she was taking it to her place where she has plenty of room. But anyhow, Linnea's bedroom is pristine. All her stuff is everywhere in our living space. Not cool....
