Welcome to a new kind of tension all across the alien nation
So, it's a shitty day to be a US citizen. At this point, I'm rooting for the asteroid.
I'm very sore, and achy today. And of course, the very first thing, my sister got up and began talking, and the dog insisted on going out for a walk. I am very overstimulated, and I'm sore from doing the stairs before the ibuprofen could kick in. I hope the Vyvanse and it's chill kick in soon. I thought getting up at 7 was early enough to get a few minutes of quiet before I had to deal with anyone, but I thought wrong.
In a little while, I need to go pick up an order from Sam's Club. It's not much, but it's got eggs, bacon and cereal. I still need to get butter, so I'll have to do that.
Yesterday, I swear, the patients were testing me. Not in a rude or unpleasant way, but in the fact that every single one had things that made scheduling them difficult. Like "I need an MRI, but I have a Vagus Nerve Stimulator and a Deep Brain Stimulator, and I need an MRI. Of my head. And I'm just like "...fuck me." I got him scheduled, but goddamn, that was a lot of research to see where I could put them. And all of them were like that. Plus I've got a couple patients that I'm trying to work out where to get them in sooner and it's just argh. I only did 38 calls, because I was on the phone with every single patient for like 10 minutes. By the end of the day, I was wiped out. I was really glad that I wasn't working today.
At least we had game afterwards. We had a nice game, where the heroes defeated the mighty dragon goddess and her minion. Next session will probably be role play heavy, as one of the characters gets to deal with the results of their actions, and we meet one of the other character's family, and delve into what another character was doing before the events of the game. After that, it's onto Bauldur's Gate and Waterdeep to deal with some more backstory. Then, it's back up to where it all started in Icewind Dale. I've got things basically plotted for a while, but it'll be up to the players as to where they wish to go first.
Today, after stopping for butter and the order, I'm home to start cooking. Today is the day I finally do Julia Child's beef bourguignon. I've been wanting to make it for a while, but I just hadn't had the time to do it. But since I have nothing special to do today, I'm going to do it.

I'm going to try to remember to take pictures as I go, just for my own amusement. But if it turns out well, maybe I'll do a post on it.
I just know I've got a lot of pots, and I'm going to be using almost every single one. One to do the potatoes for mashed potatoes, one to make the beef broth, since I use the Sam's Club Beef Base. and one for the actual dish, oh, and a skillet for the mushrooms. I think that leaves one pot clean. I'm hoping Julia won't steer me wrong.
And now, the Vyvanse and it's normal calm has descended and I am less poofed up like a cat.
Okay, time to get myself together and face the day. Everyone have an outstanding Saturday!
