Surgery is officially rescheduled for after the Stanley Cup Playoffs, just in case. I don't expect my team in the finals, but if they make round two I want to grab tickets again and not pay another fee to reschedule with my doctor.
Is that a euphemism?
There is a 100% chance I'm going to have to pay a $500 fee to change my surgery date at the last minute in order to attend GAME 4 OF THE FLYERS v PENGUINS ROUND ONE STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS SERIES and I have zero regrets. Negative regrets. But I'll wait for the official schedule before postponing.
PLAYOFF TICKETS ARE GO!
Mom was SHOCKED I got them, and if I need to I'll delay surgery. Just don't know yet when the game will be. According to my mom's friend, I'm "daughter of the year" but let's face it... I already had that title.
WE'RE GOING TO PHILLY!
LET'S GO FLYERS!!!!
Loving how I got "timed out" in queue for Flyers tickets and now I have 6,000 "people" ahead of me.
Yeah!!!! (I got that email, too.)
LET'S GO FLYERS!!!!!!!
My mom is FLOORED that taking her to the playoffs is my dream and I'm literally stopping a client meeting tomorrow to check for tickets.
Hopefully we're taking a road trip!!!
WHEN THE FUCK DO FLYERS PLAYOFFS TICKETS GO ON SALE???
I'm prepared to delay surgery to go.
Then to go the lesser sport. The weather's probably great. It'll be a good social time regardless of outcome and fresh air to boot.
Go to the Flyers game instead 😉
What game?
Last night I was apologizing to a client in my dream because I had to deadname her on her taxes since her name wasn't legally changed yet. She was pretty chill about it, but I think that's because she could tell how much I cared.
Tax preparer dreams are weird.
A ‘Tehran tollbooth’ in the Strait of Hormuz would be the end of international law, the Telegraph
Yes, Thom Sharpe - genocide, political assassinations, exploding pagers, apartheid, invasions, bombing of nuclear facilities was fine, and the US cosplaying One Piece Marines was fine - brown people looking to get reparations for decades of illegal aggression is where international law dies.
GREAT NEWS, EVERYONE!
I did not at all recognize a client today and thought he was someone else. Because we got to know each other when he was coming to the office while in chemo. And now? He looks SO HEALTHY! And I absolutely let him know how amazing he looks.
Every time people try to help me they only make things worse. And then they sulk when I react badly to their help backfiring.
Can't wait to have surgery and SEE NO ONE for two fucking weeks.
I was telling my mom that people don't care right now about the folks we're bombing on another continent. They care that gas is expensive, because that's easier math than groceries. Until consequences are tangible and HERE, no one fucking cares.
I'm so tired of US narcissism.
😭😭😭
I hadn't considered if I can watch it or if it's blacked out. But since they aren't my local team, should be okay. I need hockey today.
What did you do to make her want to unsubscribe?
History will note that Israel was allowed by the West to murder who they want in a genocide, illegal invasion, an apartheid ethnostate - and the only demand the West made in this context is that the victims and opposition not say anything even vaguely negative about Israel.
But are you watching the Flyers tonight?
“A whole civilization will die tonight.”
Those are not vague words. Under the legal definition of genocide, that is exactly what the President of the U.S. declared publicly.
Congress said nothing. And each time they fail to act, they normalize the unthinkable.
Never expected the asshole government in Iran to be in the right, but demanding Lebanon not be genocided the way Gaza is? That's a solid move. Up the ante. Include all Israeli aggression as unacceptable.
Y'all keep wanting to deal with the symptoms and not the underlying cause, that man is the latest symptom of the lie of white supremacy.
Not gonna tag folks, but here's six things I like in emoji form:
🐈⬛ Cats
🏒 Hockey
🤌 Gesturing like an Italian
🗑️ Taking out the motherfuckin trash
☀️ Yeeting people into the sun
🔥 Burning down the whole system
They Sunday DnD party is convinced my rogue will kill a PC because a curse will make him suddenly attack her, and she's "violent" in their eyes.
But she also loves cats.
A kobold the height of her knees attacking? She'll grapple him in a cloak like an angry cat and subdue him until he calms down.
Me: Hey, HOA! You put a lien on my house when you confirmed my balance is NEGATIVE. Confirm next steps please.
HOA, for 2 weeks:
Me: I assume I need to escalate this with counter-measures and contact my attorney.
HOA, in 13 minutes: We will get back to you by end of business tomorrow.
Fuck HOAs.
I don't think it's out of touch so much as potentially a genre deal. I don't know tons of "hits" because that's not what I ever listened to. But I still listen to current bands, as in ones that first released music after 2020 and not just ones still making music after twenty years.
My mom has this adorable song and dance where she KNOWS I meow at her to begin all phone calls but sometimes I call and she replies with "you're on speaker" and tells me who is there and where she is as though it's embarrassing.
Ma. It's cool. Everyone knows I meow. Even the delivery guy.
Client making $460k annually: I don't know how people do it. I just had a kid and it's going to be so expensive to get daycare after my 12 weeks of paid maternity leave are up.
Me:
Her:
Me, settling for the only thing I can say that isn't insulting: kids are expensive.
Me: I blocked two weeks for surgery and recovery.
Employee: That's great timing, you need to take a break!
...a break. Right. This is just like when you go to Europe for three weeks every year. Totally a vacation. Not pain or loss of limb function for a while. Nope.
