Tonight at dinner, Dad asked me if I had heard of Project 2025. I said I had, but where had HE heard about it? Daily Blast Live. It got him interested enough that he went and Googled it and was HORRIFIED. My 70-something Republican since the 60s dad. Keep spreading the word, people.

If I have to go on a low-histamine eating plan, I foresee more disordered, orthorexic eating in my future. Fun times.

Did a little research on low-histamine diets to prepare for talking with the allergy MD in 10-ish days. Like many of the [lifestyle changes] I've attempted not-for-weight loss, all the stuff I love is on the "no" list and a sizeable portion of the "yes" list is food I can't stand. Huzzah.

Went to another department and met a coworker I've never met before. He has a wee Scottish burr and I love it. I obviously did not say anything (though I wanted to) because that would have been unprofessional. And despite the liberal use of emojis in my business emails, I AM A PROFESSIONAL.

IIRC, part of that is the anesthesia. Oz had diarrhea when he got out and it was no fun for anyone involved.

As someone whose plans for the future went from "I should be able to retire at 65" to "I don't know if my body will hold up that long" within the span of the last two years, I urge all of you to remember this.

Hey! Remember Republicans saying "Obamacare will make death panels to kill your grandma!"? Then you should probably go check out chapter 14 of the Project 2025 manifesto. Because every Conservative/Republican accusation is a confession.

Call your rep today to encourage them to support AOC’s articles of impeachment. I will block anyone who tells me why they, personally, cannot and therefore why it’s pointless.

I love how they have a tassel on them because they're so tiny you could easily lose them. The tassel doubles the size!

Surprisingly, out of pretzel crisps, carrots, cucumbers and snap peas, the thing the dill pickle hummus tastes least good on is the cucumbers.

I have FINALLY gotten around to eating the dill pickle hummus. Friends, it is DELICIOUS! I'm eating it with raw veggies and pretzel crisps, but it would be *excellent* as a sandwich spread. Only a few bites in and I'm adding more to my ClickList order.

Did not get a picture this morning but there's a porta-potty across the street, so the guys have moved in and plan to be at it a while. At least we have water this morning.
