Booze is harder to cover than weed, as long as you don't walk in smelling like a spliff.

Fair point. I never partook, but those two were party animals. Trips to Yosemite, one dude had a pink flamingo in front of his tent so he’d know which tent was his when hey got up to piss in the middle of the night, and an umbrella attached to his camp chair for the same reason.

Those New Years trips were epic.

Happy New Year. Been forever since I've logged in, but I felt nostalgic with another year passing. Much has changed. I endured grueling rounds of chemotherapy, but I overcame that. Lost my hair, could barely walk towards the end of it, endured what I hope will be the worst pain of my life with those white-cell stimulating shots--holy ****!

Suffered through a few promotions with work, but continued to find my way up the ladder. About to take the terminal exam in my profession, the highest license. Traveled around, lived abroad, dated abroad--eventually became homesick, went home.

Before chemo, I was living in this eastern European village for a while--drinking this kiosk wine, staring into the smog that hung over the whole town in the early morning, watching all the lamps twinkle in the thick haze was this profound moment of mental clarity. That was a WEIRD time, man every time I left the apartment, I passed by the hospital in town--the street across had like four or five little family owned coffin shops...convenient. It was a romantic time I guess, eventually Cyrillic got old, having to wire money through a middle man for any real expense got old.

I think I've been to something like 50 countries at this point.

Fell in love back in the US, went well for awhile, amazing chemistry, but incompatible ideals of work-life balance. Surprise, don't date women with no friends when ya away 8 months a year.

I try, for the most part, to just live the most boring white-bread life at this point. When you can't even stand up to piss, it makes one more appreciative to simply ride a bike, work or drive a car. It's the small things. About to pull the trigger on a home, that, a few years back, I couldn't imagine--it's also amazing what you can afford, when you no longer have those mornings where: "Holy ****...did I drop $600 on beers, cocktails, Ubers and Whitecastles?"

Man, I will say this, I feel ******* OLD. I'm content, but man, I ******* miss some of those wild no-*****-given adventures. I started a Hinge recently (ROFL), I swear, every 30-something woman wants to laugh and travel, and I'm just like, can we just read a book and shut the **** up?

Anyhow, I'm not dead. Good to see you all.

-B.

Glad you're still kicking @Biscotti !

Spent a couple of hours at the vet yesterday, once again. One of our newly adopted kitties came to us with a chronic diarrhea problem and now she's barely eating.

It's triggering my PTSD from losing our old kitty to lymphoma. Wife and I are stressed out messes.

Hang in there...
Once upon a time my ex insisted we go get a kitten from the shelter.
He was found behind a dumpster in HB, and was so small they had him in a shoe box behind the counter.
He was sick and flea ridden. I remember he fit in the palm of my hand while I shampooed him with flea stuff.
He ended up being 20 pounds and lived 20 years. Spoiled beyond belief.
I used to sit on the couch looking at him and saying......"you lucky muthaf****r"

I juiced lemons and limes into separate containers. My gf while cleaning put them in the same container.

Thanks, lady.

She's seen too many Sprite commercials. It's not her fault.
