Rainy morning here. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to a metropolitan area not under lockdown, library open, stores open, people in a generally celebratory mood.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

It's like uncanny valley for a tv show.
THAT's the phrase I was looking for!

So glad that Boston is open again. Really surprised suspect #2 was taken alive. Since I am at work today, I may have to read up on Miranda exceptions.
Also, some terrible, horrible person stole all the coffee-making accoutrements (cups, pods, etc.) from the staff lounge. People, jeesh.

That's really low.

My brother tried to rebook on another bus to NYC this morning but they were all full, so he and his GF are trying their luck on a Chinatown bus that doesn't take reservations. I haven't heard anything yes, so I have a feeling they're not going to make our matinee today.

My children are WHINING about being taken to the symphony (children's concert.) One of the hardest things for me as a parent is the general ungratefulness of children. I cook a lovely healthy dinner, taking their tastes into account; they would rather eat spaghetti-os. SIGH.

I have been skipping making coffee at home all week in favor of drinking company coffee at the office (I am still a little boggled at free hot beverages at work. I have had an odd career path, such as it is, that has not included that particular perk very often) and for a minute there this morning I was afraid that I had forgotten how, but I pulled it off adequately.

Children really are ungrateful. I try to tell my mom thank you a lot to try and make up for it 30 years later.

It only stings, though, when you are anticipating some reaction other than indifference or ingratitude. I'd like to shake the kids.
