Just had monthly coaching. My current competency score is 99.1% and my coach is trying to inspire me to go for 100% and was very baffled at my saying "Why?" Why should I put stress on myself for .9 percent when I've proved I'm very good at my job? If I was sitting at 80% or something, OK, I should push myself. But 99.1%? Maybe get a few dollars more in the monthly bonus I always get, but otherwise, I don't see the benefit to me. I've always been the despair of people who try to push for achievement.

We're getting snow here too, starting tonight, which is some kind of bullshit.

I just watched an ad in which one of the candidates for governor is literally juggling fire while he gives his campaign pitch.

Please tell me he has great policies because fire juggling is pretty awesome.

Right? I totally want a fire-juggling governor!

his blood pressure was like a ridiculously low 119/69 or something

Amy, I hope S. is okay. Though 119/69 isn't low; it's actually right at the top of the recommended range. (I'm not trying to be That Guy, I swear; just, if that really is his BP, it's one less thing to worry about.)

That is worrisome, Amy. I hope they get things stabilized.

We have zero chance for rain for the next week or so. This means I really have to get the sprinklers working. Bother.

Yeah, 99.1% sounds plenty good enough to me. Work has been burdensome today. But I did get my workout over at 7:30 this morning so there is a certain delight knowing I don't have to do that later.

Right? I totally want a fire-juggling governor!

I'd just like to see mine set on fire.

I guess I meant more like it wasn't super high, Steph? Either way, he just an internal echocardiogram, and it seems fine, too. And he sounds much better -- he's only looking for the occasional word here or there. So weird.

My concern is just that if it was a TIA, the effects from it lasted a lot longer (and were more severe) than usual. And TIAs are generally warning signs of bigger, badder strokes to come.

Also, it's begun to snow. Can I go back to bed now?

Going back to bed sounds like an excellent plan.

I am glad I have no snow coming.

And 99% competent sounds like a lot more than most folks.

If it snows, I can deal with it. What makes it untenable is when K's school is cancelled, and my DH and I still have to work. Since we are in a wee apartment across town while our house is being renovated, she can't just walk over to a friend's house so we generally have to play all the games to keep her occupied.

Also, I would like a decent weather forecast for Saturday, since we will be out at the March for our Lives. We will go even if the weather is not good, but I would prefer it be good.

Amy, I hope S is okay. No one needs that kind of worry.

This. We're getting sleet now, but predictions have gone from 3-5", maybe, to 5-10".

Our predictions have gone from 1-3 to 12-16 of "heavy wet snow"

Travel conditions will be "difficult to impossible"

Aphasia is one of those things I'm more afraid of than is probably warranted. I hope they get it figured out.
