For a change we started with health issues, with Beth sharing that she was dealing with a frozen shoulder and taking naproxen for inflammation. T mentioned having mouth sores that had worsened after she tried to pop one, leaving her tired and dealing with pain for several days.   Maf updated the group on his job search progress, mentioning he had his first interview and a second one scheduled for the next day at a local firm. He expressed a preference for remote work but noted this particular opportunity was not remote, which would affect Elevenses…and his chats with Beth. The group then listened to and discussed a song sent by Nick Pe, “Ghost Grandma,”.

T discussed experiencing a sudden and severe eye condition that affected her vision, leading her to seek medical attention. She showed us her bloody eye and plans on visiting the local optometrist the following day to further assess the issue. She did, however, have a successful market day which was nice.

Beth’s had an unusual week where she forgot what day it was and missed appointments, including a chat and showing up for Retro Lounge. And, I am still job searching… and building a custom rack for organizing hard drives, which involved 3D printing components that took about 12 hours each to complete. I also tell you about a weird earworm which combines Ghost Riders in the Sky and A Good Heart by Feargal Sharkey…all inspired by a humorous BaearSkin Man advertisement on YouTube .
