I need to come up with clever subject lines.

As probably predicted, I am still trying to get off of the prednisone train.

However, I absolutely needed it yesterday when Fioricet did not work.

I was actually at about a nine out of ten on the pain scale.

And I still hate this medication… I really, truly do. My body just does not like it any more.

In other news, our dryer died a peaceful death of old age last weekend. We contacted an appliance repair specialist about it that was supposed to come out to our house to see if it could be repaired (and if so, how much that would cost), but they never showed, and they never even called to let us know that they would not be showing. So we have to follow up on that. This afternoon, someone is supposed to bring a new dryer to our house so that we can actually dry our clothes without having to hang them after they’ve been washed. Good times… I guess. I guess we’ll be seeing how that goes in several hours when it should arrive.

We usually run two dryers here, so the jury is still out on whether this one can actually be repaired.

Well, that comes as a very welcome surprise.

Surprisingly, my taxes are going to come… in a matter of days, or so the IRS website says.

One of the first things that I want to do with them is to get a phone that isn’t in battery failure because I’ve stretched this out long enough and need something that’s more reliable than the make and model (hilariously, iPhone 7) than I currently own. I let my oldest son video chat on it and it went from like… 30% to 19% in almost the blink of an eye, and that was just him video chatting. I also need to get a better desk for things in general because the desk I currently have is as old as my youngest child (“it has seen some shit”) and is creaky enough to warrant replacing with something nice and sturdy that will last us a long while…

I’m also going to have to get our gaming chair looked at. One wheel keeps rolling off of it, I swear.

Since I’ve been asked about this, here goes.

Right now, I don’t think that I’m actually going to watch the Supernatural prequel, even if Jensen is the one “in charge” of it. As it stands now, it’s set to explore something that I am not particularly interested in, and I am not invested enough in Supernatural to follow it absolutely everywhere. As much as I like the show, the prequel is — as stated — set to explore something that I am not particularly interested in. As for the podcast, I may or may not give it a listen when I have spare time. So far, I haven’t had the time to do so, but that may change in a week or two and I may be able to catch up to everything all at once. I’m playing that one by ear.

I also want to catch up on Black Mass Appeal, or at least give it the good ol’ college try listening to episodes.
