No power at work, car drove into a utility pole (they're okay) so I'm going into work late, yay!

Sox, don't forget *number of times you're asked if you're Saved.
I solemnly swear the next time somebody asks me if I'm capital-S Saved (it only happens very rarely here in Yankeedom), they're so getting an earful as to why that is prideful and inappropriate to ask a stranger.

Sox, don't forget *number of times you're asked if you're Saved.
I have a plan for this. I think I shall respond, "Oh yes! Buffy saved me a lot." And then smile as enthusiastically as possible while running away.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dart gun tranqs *don't* exist? I feel--boondoggled. Maybe also hornswaggled, but I might have just made that up.

No news from the neuro. When is too soon to poke?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
One of my friends who teaches at a DC public school says that, unless the shutdown ends before next week, he's not going to be getting paid, since the district is running out of money.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, I'm sure they can just close the schools and everyone will be fine with that, right?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh, I'm sure they can just close the schools and everyone will be fine with that, right?
The House GOP seems fine with letting WIC run out of money, so I can't see how closing public schools would be much worse.
