* It is 2018. I still get furious every time I think of Philip the Fair of France.
* Thursday was a designated rest day, and I really needed to attempt a chronic pain reset, which needs to happen on a day when I can rest as much as I like, given the strength of the medication cocktail and associated annoying side effects. I did get the rest, but the rest didn't work. I'll try again next week, I suppose. Something remains fundamentally wrong with my left jaw, but I am likely just going to have to learn to live with it.
The cats have held a blerp fest, but I'm not dealing with it yet, beyond tossing paper toweling down and collecting what''s on the bed as I both need to digest my own dinner and I want to be sure they are quite done before clanging out bedding, etc.. Sigh. I have administered the Medicine finger under the guise of scritches. Let us hope that's the end of it for now.

* I am doing National Poetry Month again this year, but I'm confining it to Tumblr on the grounds of tired. What the poems I selected? Five or so should turn up daily over here if you want to look them over: http://gwydionmisha.tumblr.com/tagged/Poem
* I used all my money on housing and insurance last month, and this month it's all going to housing and car things. I need the car to get around as I am disabled. I need to raise about $600 to stay afloat. If you'd like to chip in: Paypal Lethran@gmail.com
