Mulling one of two British comedies with similar themes this evening: "The Full Monty" (1997) and "Calendar Girls" (2003). Or perhaps both.

We're still in the horrific 2025 holiday season, so this counts. (Also, we can pretend Biden is still president, btw.) It's from December 2017, when we all thought that *that* was the end of the good American life as we knew it. The current travesty hadn't crossed anyone's mind. And here we are.

Every so often, I read this to remind myself to ask the question. And I am sharing said reminder of that self-nurturing question with you.

Perhaps someone else can use this little reminder as much as I do right now, as I attempt -- so far in vain -- to change pharmacy locations. Aaarrgh!!!!

A little gem from my feed -- methinks this might be the mantra for the next little (long?) while...

No idea where I got this. But I like it. (I am happy to credit the creator, if you see this.)
