So my Racist Uncle has survived his operation and is in recovery. The cancer wasn’t as bad as they thought, but he’ll still need chemo. Still might die from the cancer or chemo. But so far so good.
I saw a doctor for the first time in like a year and a half this week. My medical PTSD and needle phobia keeps me away for the most part. But I think there is something structural wrong with the right knee. I don’t trust it side-to-side. I have an MRI scheduled for that. Plus, my right elbow hurts.
A few years ago I had issues with my right elbow, I tore a tendon in it. The doc at the time looked it over and gave me two options. First option was six months to a year of PT followed by painful surgery to cut off the tendon and reattach it. Second was to let it heal and see how much it hurt. Either way, things were *not* ever going to be the same, carrying capacity wise. I chose the second option. As it turns out, in about six months the pain had subsided. I’m careful with it. Used to be I’d pick up just about anything. These days, not so much. I’ve had tennis elbow before, repetitive strain injury in my elbow relating to typing and mouse usage. I’m hoping it’s just tendonitis again. But it has been two months now. Sigh.
Lastly, I got a referral for mental health. I’ve been depressed and frankly I can’t fall asleep. I take edible cannabis, a fairly low dose, every night to sleep. I have trouble concentrating at work. I’m starting to wonder if there isn’t a brain-chemistry aspect to all of it. Worth talking to someone about, anyway.
In other news, my wife is now getting tentative inquires about work after graduation. It's all very preliminary, but exciting. We will see how that goes. Gotta stay focused on the now.
My buddy and I are almost through Borderlands 3. If you are looking for a fun shooter that won’t make you crazy, has a lot of humor, and good game play, check this one out.
I’ve ordered the stuff to do spherification. I’m a gonna make alcoholic tide pods. If you wanna know how:

In neighborhood stuff, our gangster neighbors are moving out. (The guy, Chris, was tatted all to hell and back. But nice.) They got a 25 foot dumpster and filled it….TWICE. They threw out a LOT of shit I think should have gone to GoodWill or some other thrift shop. But they did ZERO outdoor maintenance and frankly their place looked like shit, despite them being fairly quiet. So we will have to see what they do with the property and who moves in. Kitty-corner across the road, the husband appears to have moved out as well. That’s good, as I called the cops on him (anon) about three months ago for loudly and drunkenly threatening his wife. I’ve seen Metro there a few times. I’m not gonna miss him. Honestly, I rent this house I don’t have a lot invested in the neighborhood, and all I want is peace and quiet until we move next year. All of this has been too much drama already.
Work is depressing, but you knew that already. So fuck it.
Anyway, my imaginary internet friends, I wish you a good weekend. And start posting again. Please.
