them: how have you been? me: (barely alive) good and you?

The last month: - stomach flu so severe I sprained muscles in my abdomen & they gave me the same anti-nausea meds they give before chemo - TWO hurricanes - a mountain of last-minute *fire drill* client work that has not slowed ...all on top of my baseline of already being dizzy and fatigued 24/7

The power restoration estimate could be up to a week so I’m practicing my “WHO GOES THERE?!” for when I have to pee in the middle of the night

Made it through the hurricane. We are safe but there are downed power lines all throughout our neighborhood. Thoughts and prayers for my cat who has to drink still water because his fountain isn’t working. He’s distraught.

My cat enjoys the arrangement where any time I get a fun new thing so does he

Moo Deng the baby hippo is everything to me right now

The update to this is I went to the doctor today and she examined me and confirmed I strained a muscle from throwing up so hard

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #572,238!

Update: I did not get bbq. Instead I ended up getting a migraine, stomach flu, and my period all at the same time.

In Austin for the weekend, who has bbq recs for me?
