Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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.

Radial nerve compression follows over use. Apparently lots of women have to adjust their sleep position because so many of us curl our hands into fists and then tuck them under our chins.

Perhaps you will feel better after accomplishing the move. In the meantime, stretching and resting will be helpful. Try hugging a pillow when you side sleep. Wave your arms and wiggle your fingers, rotate your shoulders and turn your head from side to side to get loosened up.

Hope the techniques from the hand therapist help out.

Oh, right, it's pi day!

Hmm, I have some pastry in the freezer. I could make something, but it's probably not a good idea to make a pie when I'm sick. Last night I got chicken wonton soup from the place around the corner. But right now all I want is cinnamon toast.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is fantastic!
