I love LOTR but I don't know if I can justify $180 in uber fees (the theater too stressful of a drive for me to do it myself)

I looked this up and it is definitely going on the list

I know, as Andrew mentioned downthread, the OLD lists it as a hairstyle. Maybe I'll do a PHI search and see for myself what I can find. Because, of course, with Diana and Actaeon she puts her hair up to bathe which is a very different context from portraiture that has what we call a 'nodus' style

So I’m asking because in the story if Actaeon from the Met, Diana when getting ready to bathe is very much treated like a Roman Matrona and it’s said her hair is a nodus. So I’m trying not to get too excited about a Livia/Diana connection.

I'm glad you were finally able to find one though!!!

so I had to reschedule the telehealth appointment (with the person on the phone condescendingly telling me "you know the doctor needs the A1C for the appointment, right?"). The only thing that went relatively smoothly was the A1C appointment itself (3/3)

I was supposed to have a telehealth appointment with my endocrinologist and a half hour passed the scheduled time I called the office. He was running behind, but no one told me. I had an appointment to do my A1C just after the appointment (only time the lab had), (2/)
