'Twas the night before surgery and all through the van ... (beehaw.org)

Well, it was Church Night again. The past couple of weeks had been uneventful given that Flipside occurred between them, and tonight was uneventful because I'm in.

I definitively no longer have imposter syndrome. I have long chats with people wherein we give each other shit, swear a fuckload, and then share a donut s'more.

Tiny Tim had brought s'mores makings alongside the burn barrel, and then another guy brought a 12-pack of glazed donuts. While this was unplanned, of course some burner is going to say "but what if we put the chocolate and marshmallow in the donut?"

The absurdity of it is what I love. We don't just escape default life; we get to act like kids.

Leonard gave me my customary ride home, and now I've taken my first dose of amoxicillin ahead of tomorrow's procedure.

In five days, I'll have new dentures that allow me to enjoy eating again. It's been a rough five years.

I'm glad you've been having good times and good interactions at the Church Nights, and I'm SO super stoked for you getting your teeth! I know how big of a deal that is. I hope you got some good rest and that the surgery and recovery go well for you.

Enjoy your steak with your fancy new luxury bones! :D Have an extra for me, or maybe some corn on the cob, while I'm over here jealous, eating oatmeal slop again 😂

We'll have to see how the fitting goes Monday. Corn on the cob might be a stretch goal. Sorry to hear you're going through the same issues ... people take being able to eat for granted (given enough money), and yet for some, it just ... isn't.
