And I'm live, finishing up my #CivilizationVII game as Jose Rizal!

You know, the one I did well on my first start. Definitely not one that got restarted twice.

Nope.

See you in chat!

And I'm live, about to spin the wheel and see which unplayed leader I have to tackle next in #CivilizationVII!

Also, there are gale force winds incoming, so hopefully stream stays up the whole time! Come keep us company & chat!

In about an hour, join me as we start our next random roulette leader game of #CivilizationVII on my path to beating all the leaders!

We shall see how THIS goes. First runs aren't having the best track record... 😅

Ah, yes.

It is always good when your uncle - an orthopedic surgeon - looks at your CT imaging and x-rays and says: "There is basically nothing there. I have no idea how she has been moving on it as long as she has."

I'm an overachiever.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Important update

Despite all evidence to the contrary, the x-rays show that I do appear to have....a heart.

Pre-surgery imaging day is a go

I repeat is a go

I repeat I am very bored in this waiting room

Hwelp.

Thanks to a cancellation at the surgeon's, looks like I'm going to be getting my second hip replacement November 7.

Eep. Gotta scramble to figure out what I need this time I guess. 😅

20 years ago today, PJ & stood acorss from each other & promised to face the future together.

The last 20 years haven't always been easy, and in fact we've hit a lot of harder times. But no one promised easy. We just promised to love each other through it all.

And we have.❤️

Ok ok....so in about 20 minutes, I'm going to try and channel the good vibes of the 20th anniversary to stream at least one age of #CivilizationVII with Lakshmibai, which I failed spectacularly at yesterday.

See you soon?

We were ABSOLUTELY not successful today due to a mix of ADHD and being hangry, so we've tossed a raid to @urbanbohemian.com!

Got a little behind with work stuff, but aiming to be on stream with more #CivilizationVII in about half an hour.

You can watch my brain melt down over the fact that I just finished that spreadsheet, log into the game, and they've added more leaders.

ME: Now Kelli, remember...it is JUST A GAME. You don't need to track EVERY LEADER.

ALSO ME: *ten minutes in Google Sheets*

Why do I do this to myself (yes, this is just page 1)
