Randomly, I think I have spent as much time working today as I did the other week when I "worked from home," so that makes me feel a little better....
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Are they at least reggaeton puppets, Jesse?

I would not want to be 35 and in charge of $700 billion.
Frankly, today I do not want to be 33 and in charge of lots of ones and zeroes.

Can't you be president at 35? Surely that's right up there with $700 billion.
I am feeling very disconnected from it all today. Except for the federal budget cuts that are closing my son's daycare. That I am still really really stressed out about.

They are not, more's the pity.

Yeah, I no longer think that's OK, either. Due to that being my age.

I agree with Jesse! I am not old enough to be president or be in control of $700 billion dollars.

Sorry to hear that. I can hardly imagine how stressful that would be.

For the record: reggaeton puppets? Nowhere near a googlewhack.

It sucks! We've been lucky Matilda's daycare situation has been so stable. (knocks wood)
Emmett's first daycare provider closed after 7 months, on short notice. I was able to get him into my daycare at work which was cheap, but a pain to do the commute since I had to take him downtown with me everyday.
Then that situation imploded after a couple years (tears, recriminations, biting) and we shared a nanny. She proved to be unreliable (she tried to take Emmett on an unauthorized overnight trip to her grandmother's: "Oh, by the way, I'm in a different county and I'm keeping Emmett overnight. You don't mind right?" "I'm calling the police if you don't have him back to us within two hours.") so we just had an insane scramble for four months to bridge him to pre-school. Which was incredibly expensive and had an expensive aftercare bill on top of that.
But it was stable, and he had a lot of friends and fun, and he learned a lot and he wasn't coming home with two or three new bitemarks a day.
In sum: cherish your daycare provider! Finding new ones on short notice sucks incredible amounts of wad. Because if you don't have a daycare provider you can't go to work.
