Ugh. That sucks so much Teppy, when you wanted to just avoid it entirely! Boo.

Mac. Wtf dude. (And Laura's! Fingers crossed maybe this is the time he keeps it together?)

I'm a bit irked because I was on a friend's FB page and FB was like "do you want to friend [my recent ex]?" And I hadn't realized she had gone and unfriended me! (I hid her so I wasn't seeing her happy "my new gf is so awesome" stuff, but we'd known each other for two years--so I didn't entirely unfriend her!) and then I was a little irked she was still friends with this other friend of mine who she's only met a couple times and only knows because she's the gf of one of my BFFs. Grump grump drama grump.

Steph- I hope you feel better

I meant to say that part, too!

He has to learn better coping and processing, because where he is now will not suffice for life on his own.

Yeah, I can see that as being a real worry.

In my job news, we're moving offices over the weekend, so were going to close at noon on Friday, but they just told us to take the whole day! Which is great, except I definitely have shit to do and they told us to leave our computers here so IT can make sure everything works. I guess I can work on my annual review from my own computer (it's all online) and leave it at that!

I have been waiting an hour at my doctor. I really like her, but the office is alwaysa clusterfuck. I don't know if I like her this much.

My brother (who knows a lot about healing properties of food) told me that ginger tea and holy basil tea help with migraines because they have antiinflammatory properties. We happen to have some of each because I bought them (with my brother, as a matter of fact) at a fancy tea place for Tim when we thought his RA was osteoarthritis. He never drank it, so I'm giving it a shot.

It smells like a fancy bath product that would be $7 at LUSH.

Thank God for free courthouse Wi-Fi. Good use of public funds, would tax again.

I and a couple of other people got a minor league dudebro to back down from his "Hillary's an idiot". "Why?" we asked, and he fumbled, then said "She leaked emails and classified information." "So did Petraeus," I said. Dudebro was military, he knows how Petraeus is: "Well, Petraeus was retired." One of the other people, who can tend toward dudebro status himself, snorted and said, "Retired, right." "She had that private email server," DB said. "So did Colin Powell," I said. "She leaked classified information." "No, she didn't," third guy, without dudebro tendencies, said, "she may have had sloppy security, but she didn't leak anything." "Leaking information is something you do intentionally," I said.

DB is looking a little hunted at this point and wisely said, "I'll check the facts, do some vetting." "Good idea," I said. He tends to brush me off, because female and "old", but two guys who sort of respects challenged him, so now he's uncertain. Progress!

Thank you. This made me smile.

Also making me smile: a nearby walk-up window that used to sell bahn-mi (yum) and then sold Thai food (meh, not great) is now going to sell empanadas and breakfast tacos!

Also super exciting to me: I'm getting a new work laptop that won't be so ancient and creaky!

And I was able to get a hair appointment for before pride because my current hairdo is making me nuts.

I paid off my credit card and I work from home, which means I can struggle through with a migraine because I can close the drapes and turn off the lights.

That's all I got today.

One more day of construction. Oy.
