They are calling it as "apparent", but I guess until they do every last absentee and military ballot they won't make it official. Seems that the numbers aren't possible though. As much as I am delighted that the Dems picked up the seat, I have to admit to being even more delighted that the GOP put so many resources into the loss. Knowing that Trump is pissed off is a simple pleasure, while awaiting him being hauled off to the pokey.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Apparently they couldn't call the PA election last night because of absentee votes that had to be counted in a deeply red county, then they ended up being for Lamb by 200 votes.
Wow!

Has anyone ever had a radial nerve injury? I'm pretty sure mine is fubared...I am a side sleeper, and with this move, I'm really noticing how messed up it is beyond just soreness. I'd thought I was getting arthritis in my right hand, but now I wonder. And with the painting and scrubbing and hauling involved in the move, I've had several very painful cramps in that arm lasting over 10 minutes, and lots of twitching muscles when at rest. I think I've compressed the nerve...but our deductible is so high and we don't have co-pays until we're hit $5K OOP.
Does stretching help? I'm trying not to side sleep, but it's pretty hard not to...when I'm asleep, I naturally go into that position.

So can the students that can't walk out on classes today because of a snow day walk out on the make up day?

I like the way you think, Laura.

Day 2 of home sick. Already bored, although I binged some Jane the Virgin and watched S02ep01 of Jessica Jones.
It's the weirdest cold: I don't have much nasal congestion, but I have a headache and this horrible painful cough. So annoying.
I'm really going to set up the new laptop to dial into the work network, though. Really. After I have some more tea and some cinnamon toast.

The issue with a recount in PA, as I understand it, it that there are not paper receipts for the electronic votes.
Many TX schools are on Spring Break and so are missing the walk out. Mac would not have been an involved student anyway and this being TX, I imagine the whole thing could have been a shitshow.

Yeah, that's the cold that's going around. Totally not how I'm used to being sick. I spend a couple of days home in bed and another week or so dragging around not feeling great but not that bad but it did finally go away, except for the cough which is at least not so painful.
Tea and cinnamon toast sounds like an excellent idea.
I am all about pie today. Apple pie with cheddar for breakfast, I brought in mini pies for my coworkers, I have two savory hand pies, a sweet potato shepherd's pie, a piroshki, and a chicken pot pie for all my meal and snacking needs. Mmm pie. And I have on my Pi shirt from ThinkGeek which no one has noticed unless I pointed it out.
