I have tried to tee up my work today so I can listen to Comey's testimony while still getting stuff done. The Senate is also probably voting today on the Saudi arms deal (my husband is wrapped up with this and has been on the Hill all week) so it is a very pay attention kind of day for me.

Is Emily Flake lurking here?
I should have send hand-carved notices about my mom, delivered by a puppy!

I really want to listen to it, but I have therapy in an hour and then back to the hospital. Although it might lift Mom's spirits to hear Comey drag Trump.
t edit But really, the ICU nurse said that today (the day after surgery) is generally the worst one for patients who had open-heart surgery, because the anesthesia has worn off and they realize how much things hurt despite the pain meds, and their throats hurt from the breathing tube, and everything is just bad. So I doubt watching Comey testify will help.
Maybe I should take my Hillary Clinton action figure that erika sent me and prop it up on the side table to inspire Mom.

Oh god, I have a friend who is posting more and more "fitspiration" shit on Instagram. Today's picture was a meme with a background of green bananas (???) that said "Remember when your body is hungry, it wants NUTRIENTS, not CALORIES!!!"
And after I went all head-tilt bug-eye about it (this is too damn early for this nonsense), all I could think was (1) that's provably false (ask someone who's literally starving), and (2) even if it were true, nutrients are inseparable from calories WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I'm only slightly tempted to watch the Comey testimony, but I think it will be more entertaining filtered through Twitter.

Our wings are not tired.
I'll be driving the length of Florida, over 6 hours, during the testimony so will likely be listening then. Or I may switch to music.
And really I need to be packing and not on the internet!

Sorry about your friend, Suzi.
Comey's "Lordy, I hope there are tapes," made me laugh.

Ann, that's a ferret.
All condolences, Suzi.

I'm sorry, Suzi.
We're all in agreement that people must literally have Trump tied down to prevent him from tweeting right now, right?
