I thought it was going to be a sad, animal-free morning walk until Harley the neighborhood cuddle #cat rushed out at the last moment to save the day.

Somehow, in all the versions my manuscript has been through in the editing process, all my footnotes got deleted.
Makes me paranoid that all kinds of other stuff has been lost. This will never be over, will it?

I didn't know tinned fish was having a moment until the husband and I went to a fancy tapas place and found it on the menu. We ordered it. Delicious.
I think the feeling of apocalypse in the air is behind this shelf-stable protein trend.

After two IVs and one blood draw in three days, my veins are pretty beaten up. I had the husband take photos and I was going to post one, but...ew.

It's cold enough in #Denver today to finally convince me that the fiery summer will eventually have an end.
Even though it is supposed to get back up to 88F/31C next week, I see that it *can* be cold.
It was starting to feel like weather finally broke for good and seasons weren't a thing anymore.

I beat the husband at #chess every time we play on the app. He beats me every time we play in person. Pretty sure that means he's better than me, but I don't tell him that.
And he's not on Bluesky so he'll never know I admitted it.

Healing is hard. My body healing from anything taps me out and makes all my physical symptoms worse. My teeth and gums need to hurry the hell up and heal. I'm exhausted.

After oral surgery, consuming food can't really be called "eating." It's more like pushing mush around on one side of my mouth and then swallowing it.
My savior? A two-pack of quiches from Costco. A delicious actual food item that's soft enough for my traumatized mouth to handle.

When I lived in LA, I got lost every time I went to Burbank.
In #Denver, the Tech Center is my Burbank. I get lost every time. And why is EVERY street named Inverness??

Sweet autumn. Cold nights and mornings, mild days. I hope we get a lot more of this before the #Colorado winter hits.
I met a woman who'd just moved here from NYC and was scared she couldn't handle our winters. I laughed, told her she'd be fine. I'll take a #Denver winter over an NYC one any day.

You don't realize how awful your dental insurance is until you need major dental work done.
Enrolling in a cheap plan is agreeing to a gamble I will not take again.

The #Japan trip was physically so hard BUT my #MS symptoms improved and my #Garmin body battery was charging. I woke up one day with it at 100. At home it's usually around 30. Maybe sea level? I'll have to take the Garmin to sea level to try to replicate results.

Recovery from the Japan trip continues. It was #fatigue. Now it's my back, which has reached what I call the "screamy stage." Because all I can do is rest, I'm not sure if the #MS symptoms have improved. My different diseases are out dancing together.

Teenager safely deposited in #Japan. That was a HARD trip. Physically, emotionally, logistically. Came home with a bunch of bug bites. Almost got bit by a giant orange hornet.
But this giant moth landed on the teenager. It was gorgeous.

Last breakfast with the teenager in #Japan before we head home. "How am I going to learn my slang now?" I ask her. She shrugs. "You got that."

I have lived in the western US most of my life. I have been spoiled by the dry climate. (So has my hair.)
Tsukuba, Japan is hotter and more humid right now than Florida. I had to return to the hotel room and its AC. I can't function like this.

Japanese hotels come with pajamas to wear while you stay there. I looked at the giant, striped nightshirt and said, "No way am I wearing that."
Now I put it on every time I get to the hotel room and change back into outside clothes when I leave. I love this thing.

The teenager is blowing me away. She is adulting so hard. She's adulting in another country in another language. Just yesterday, she got her student ID, she registered her dorm address at city hall, she signed up for Japanese national health insurance, and she signed up for a phone number and plan.

My #MS loves #Japan. My symptoms have eased significantly. I've been all over the place and haven't gotten tired like I would at home. I thought maybe it had something to do with being at sea level, but US or Europe sea level doesn't do this.

Other than the food, I don't love #Japan as much as I thought I would so far. It's probably because it's stealing the teenager from me, my favorite person in the entire world.
Settling in here as a college/uni student is very difficult. If she can figure this out, she can do anything.

I've boarded our direct flight from #Denver to #Tokyo and the interactive flight map is seriously next level. I can see outlines of all the planes moving around the gates and runways. This thing is riveting and we're not even in the air yet. Had to delete the pic to get it to load.
