Enjoy your day of familial bliss!

I threw my neck our pretty severely on the ride home.  It hit me Sunday - Father's Day - Tara took me out to a movie and dinner, but I took some flexeril to stave off the pain and it made me super drowsy.  We got home early and I planned to take a hot epsom salt bath with some new healing bath oils Stacy gave me for Father's Day but I just crashed.  All today, my neck was in intense pain and I could barely turn my head.  I got home, aiming to take that bath, but first, finish Sense8.  Stacy went to yoga and Tara took my CRV to the craft store where she met up with her ex.  Then, just as I was about to draw the bath, Tara called.  CRV wouldn't start.  She left the lights on.  He ex had cables but neither were sure how to use them.  They actually both went through a life skills class in High School where they were supposed to learn that sort of stuff.  They suggested looking up a tutorial on YouTube, but rather than have my CRV explode, I went there to do it.  Got the CRV started with a quick jump.  yay dad.  Then got home and the cat escaped.  She wasn't out longer than 10 minutes until she brought something back in.  I was in the bath so Tara had to take care of it.  It was a nice bath and my neck is loosening a little.  Probably won't go for more flexeril because it made me loopier than usual, perhaps a side of adjusting to the new statin drug.

Sigh. We’re old.

[Drunk Monk]

I’m not old. You’re old.

My last trip south ruined the Woody show for me.  It's the morning show on KFOG, and even though I knew it was one of those national programs, for some reason I've been attached to KFOG being local.  So I was put out hearing it leaving Lynch manor.  It was interesting to hear how it was tailored to specific markets (like the smooth segue to the traffic report) but now when I listen to KFOG, I feel betrayed.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

That’s because you have been betrayed — betrayed by Big Radio!

Dammit.

I miss radio - local radio that is. Who wants all that Live Nation/Clear Channel crap? I gave up on it about ten years ago. I enjoyed satellite radio in my old car, but don't have it anymore.

[The Queen]

There's a reason podcasts became popular. Much better than radio.

[Drunk Monk]

I still love radio for its randomness just not KFOG anymore. I prefer it when commuting because of the traffic reports and that magic when the right tune pops up. There's still a few local stations, the college stations mostly which is what I usually listen to anyway, and NPR.

Just passed DOOM south. It’s the sophomore trek to UCSD - need to be there in a few hours to make early checki in - Tara has a job as a barista at the Muir cafe and they paid for a extra early week so she can get training.

I need more sleep. Been a harsh week. Not sure how long we’ll stay yet.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

I hope you get more rest than you think you will and that the whole clan is well.

No rest for the wicked. You can Artie that on my tombstone, unless, of course y’all bury me in an unmarked grave which I wouldn’t put beyond you.

The cub’s new digs are really nice. She has her own private room which is nearly as big as the one she shared with two other gals last year. Four other gals will occupy the suite which has its own kitchen. Move in was super smooth because it was early so only a few others were there.

Went past DOOM south again a few hours ago. Now back at the bungalow.

Tomorrow I plan to go to the office and survey the damage of my computer crash.

[Drunk Monk]

Back in SD for a few daze in honor of my cub's 19th.  

Not so smoky here.  Eternal summer.
