Nose to the grindstone 2025

[Drunk Monk]

I found a stuffed snake in thr parking lot - it’s new, complete with price tag. It struck me as auspicious because the year of the snake starts next week, which is why I’ve been watching so many snake movies lately. It will now live in Darth.

I feel the need to explain this a little more. My father was born in the year of the snake. I've wrapped that snake stuffy around the passenger headrest of Darth. It's comforting. I look at it and remember my dad, and wonder how he would've handled this. He was such a hard worker, so industrious. He climbed out of poverty and supported our family - still does. I wouldn't have been able to afford my mom's care without their nest egg. 

El Camino is constantly sending test results through it's web portal. I can't understand them. I hope those tests are still covered by Medicare. I fear we're going to get walloped by the drug fees because our restored premium coverage doesn't kick in until Feb 1.
