1. Whatcha been up to?
Hospital.
Saturday was a sunny 72°F day. In November. That is not supposed to happen. Not in my climate. Not in my latitude. So. Put the top down on the roadster and hopped on the freeway.
Ended up at an abandoned factory way on the south side. Haikyo / urbex (urban exploring).
On the way back home I got cut off by a red Ford Focus who decided he was going to Green Bay and not Madison. La dee dah. We only had that decision to make for the past mile.
I think the roadster is totalled. I hit the wall pretty hard.
And the nurses at the hospital were wary because I was wearing scrubs. No! I am a patient! These are my pajamas! Was given a standard issue hospital gown. Very becoming.
This time I am not on the super restricted diet. Thank goodness my friend Spewgie has been sneaking in Whoppers and french fries with Heinz 57 ketchup or I would never have survived the medical care.
The weird thing is the most serious of my injuries is where the driver's side airbag deployed and fractured a couple of ribs.
2. What up?
Yuka livestreamed with guest stars Mel and Lon, her cats;
Raina competed in a fifty McDonald's Chicken McNuggets virtual mukbang (elapsed time 3:41) and went to Cold Beer And Cheeseburgers restaurant to eat a fourteen patty cheeseburger (27:00 — while wearing a Christmas-themed Hello Kitty sweatshirt)...
...and Xiaoge dressed Dawang in Where's Waldo? clothes.
It is extremely hot in her province. Dawang is an Alaskan breed with a double coat. So. Xiaoge shaved his fur off. Like a poodle. During the day Dawang still needs UV protection.
Very stylish. Straight off the runways in Tokyo. Bravo, Dawang.
3. What's new?
Finally received the scrubs I ordered three weeks ago. Very basic one pocket shirt and one rear pocket pants. Only eleven bucks a pair. The scrubs in the stores had multiple pockets and were like the scrubs the nurses in the hospital wore when I was there in early June. I wanted old school in solid colors.
The store clerks explained only the expensive, high end scrubs were in stock. Even hospital administrators are expected to wear scrubs instead of jackets and ties during coronavirus for the washability. And that created a retail shortage.
Now I can finally make doctor and dental appointments and do some gardening and maybe take the roadster out for a midnight spin.
FUN FACT: I haven't put the top down since last September.
Dark grey, light grey and denim. The denim is not at all as pictured. This is a very dark indigo; the online catalogue depicted a hospitalesque seafoam blue. If you were fortunate to have the big box of Crayolas.
4. What's the latest from the front?
Still under shoot to kill.
Gabrielle Kokesh, a nineteen year old little blonde girl from Waunakee, got caught out on camera smashing windows and looting — despite fellow protesters telling her to stop because it was a peaceful demonstration — and is in custody waiting to be arraigned.
So. Gabby sits in jail over a long holiday weekend.
5. What's on the agenda?
Trying to decide between Roku gin from Osaka or my usual Beefeater from London. With pink lemonade, tonic or vermouth? I'm really not supposed to be drinking because of the prescriptions I'm on but I haven't had a drink since Ash Wednesday (February 26) and promise not to operate heavy machinery.
