The earth's axis has shifted? I mean, I guess it makes sense that it would wiggle around a bit every once in a while. Doesn't it do a 180 and flip every few million years? Or was that a line of hog hooey I was once fed?

The magnetic poles swap position every few million years. The earth's axis also shifted a couple inches after the tsunami in Indonesia in... 2004? It changes the length of the day by point-something seconds.

It changes the length of the day by point-something seconds.

I hope for an extra something as I still have time in the day issues.

Once again I am grateful for the source of real and understandable information I find here. Why do I even turn on the cable news channels?

Nope, sorry, slightly shorter day.

I just want to say this, again. You poor guys. I believe that everyone will get through everything. I know it's so much, for so many of you, and I'm sorry.

Yes, this.

In completely different news, I wish the cat sitter would get in touch about this weekend. I know they won't starve or dehydrate even if she doesn't show up, because it's only 36 hours, but still.

I am just not watching the news. seriously, cannot deal with how overwhelming everything feels.

I am going to shower and put on workclothes and go do yardwork. I am putting a lot of faith that getting my hands into dirt is going to be the best medicine I can muster. Maybe I will wear a floppy hat to also make me happy. Maybe we should have have silly hat day.

Maybe YOU should have silly hat day.

I look silly in pretty much every hat, so my hat doesn't have to be silly at all.

My silly hats are really helpful while doing yardwork and it is pretty windy outside. But we shall see.

I don't have any silly hats, only cool ones that cool people have made and/or given me.

also? JENGOD!!! FUN!!
