I didn't know it meant "shaking my head" till just now!
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

I took forever to get SMH too.

for MONTHS I thought SMH was "so much hate."
That seems much more useful.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Much more useful for me, certainly.

I hear tell fancy-schmancy hotels will send up a lot of things without charge, including utensils, that is if you don't mind tipping the deliverer.
Sox, I read that whole thread and added my mite of opinion at the end. Sounds like the Worldcon is going to cancel the showing entirely, which I think is a shame, because it's clearly what they call a Teachable Moment.

An elementary school clerk talked down a school shooter. Ms. Tuff is a hero.
The school is in my county, so I've had wall-to-wall coverage. There's now a debate about whether the schools need more resource operators, but this event indicates that schools need more clerk/bookkeepers.

DD has suddenly started being more sociable, chatty, amiable, wearing work shirts, offering to do other peoples tasks, and being communicative. Found out yesterday evening that she's on the ED's shit list (finally) so it looks like this a desperate attempt to mend fences and put on a good face.
Works for me, as I'm her newest direct coworker with plans for the holidays coming up.
Now to backread.

It is possible that I have revealed the depths of my nerdery to my new work team by going on a diatribe against Ant-Man.

I am not a soda drinker. I tend to drink coffee, tea, water, or wine. And the first and the last are tied closely to time of day.
As for SMH, my brain parsed it as "suck my ...??"
I think whatever-is-good-enough-for-today is totally going to need to be your mantra, Burrell. Definitely make me-time part of that.
Ah yes! In that vein, I have managed to take sister to the doctor, go to work, and finish one of my syllabi. The other will need to get done tomorrow or tonight. And now I'll go buy hair dye.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
for MONTHS I thought SMH was "so much hate."
I just had a conversation Monday about this, and one friend thought that, too! SMDH.
I also remember Dana's Cheesecake Factory trauma, and as a child (and still sometimes) loved cream soda best for a special treat.
I went to look at a couple assisted living places with my mother, and they were both really nice, and one seemed perfect for my father, but in no way could they afford assisted living, since Medicaid doesn't cover it. It has to be a nursing home for Medicaid. And he doesn't actually need a nursing home.
