My manager says "I made it in in my Honda."

Oh good, he can pick you up then.

Now I'm wondering if he thought Iw s saying only people with 4 wheel drive cars could get out at all.. I dunno.

About 3:30 someone in trhe group text said their road hadn't been plowed yet. I'm sure there are going to be call outs tomorrow as well.

Great suggestions, Andi. Thank you. I KNOW some of those strategies and yet, duh, they didn't come to mind until I read your post. I can't give myself much of a holiday. Tomorrow is the last day of class and this is the final paper. I know I'll be writing all day tomorrow too and I may just try to bite off the easy stuff today and then fill in the rest tomorrow.

But good news is what I'm trying to focus on the most, so I made a list:

• Noodle had a well kitty check up and she is in great health and was NOT deemed overweight. Just...don't gain any more.
  
• With just one cat dish out, Noodle will not be eating as much as she did before - eating up Kitty's leftovers (yes, trying to find the lemonade there)
  
• CJ is registered for school for the Spring semester and has all his books. I'm trying to ignore the fact that he still needs to sort out his tuition cause this is GOOD NEWS stuff.
  
• As noted over in Natter, we are starting to plan our first ever Persian New Year's party in March (y'all are invited).
  
• Kelly and C are looking to move out in April or May. Yes, I will miss having her close, but they need their own space.
  
• Soon after I will have a home office/guest room!!!
• Comic-con is in June and I'm going to volunteer again.
  
• I've lost 40 lbs since July and while the downward trend has stalled since Thanksgiving, I haven't gained and my newer clothes still fit better. And I FEEL better.
  
• Possibly related, from July - December I didn't have any major asthma episodes.

Yay for good things, Suzi! Including the lemonade.

Definitely glad for all the good news there, Suzi!

Halp please.

"...based on a multitude of data that IS not..." or "...based on a multitude of data that ARE not..."???

I'm making better progress on my paper today. Which must needs since it is due at midnight. I plan to work 50 minutes and then take a 10 minute break each hour. Half an hour for dinner. I need to write at least a page an hour - which is going to be challenging as I need to pull research support as I go. I have a list of potential resources, so it won't be as start from scratch as it could have been.

I WILL NOT DO THIS TO MYSELF IN MY OTHER CLASSES. I WILL NOT DO THIS TO MYSELF IN MY OTHER CLASSES. I WILL NOT DO THIS TO MYSELF IN MY OTHER CLASSES. I WILL NOT DO THIS TO MYSELF IN MY OTHER CLASSES. I WILL NOT DO THIS TO MYSELF IN MY OTHER CLASSES.

Are.

per my instinct and [link]

I would say multitude is.

In medical writing, "data" is a plural noun, so it takes "are". I don't know what the accepted standard is in nonmedical writing. Even on NPR I hear them say "data is."
