Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I find facials so relaxing! I prefer massages to be closer to physical therapy, so not relaxing per se, but good for me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jessica, I didn't realize that was your new employer.

Not new - I just switched to a different subsidiary.

What is even happening?

Better, he's been on just a cannula rather than mask for the past couple of days with good oxygen numbers and excellent blood pressure. Still weak and painfully swollen, but it sounds like they're getting ready to transfer him to a rehab facility.

That's good to hear, Matt.

A Bronzer friend -- newt, if any of you Bronzed back in the day -- is writing a freelance article and looking for Pennsylvania residents over 50 who travel by plane fairly often and don't have a passport. Any takers, hit up my profile address and I'll pass on the word to her.

If you ask me, the newt name still means something! (I love newt.)

Was trying to figure out when my last car payment is. Kinda hard when you can't find the account # and apparently never wrote down your u&pwd. I guess I should call them...I think I might've set it up all electronic...and then never logged in.

My candidate for minion accepted the offer! She starts in July. Likely when I'm in Iceland. So now I have to pull together a training plan absent me for like 2 weeks. Which I should do anyway, because best case scenario is she starts the day I get back@@. We coulda required a June or earlier start date, but she's gotta move here, was hoping to hike a portion of the Appalachian trail & launch slipped a year in the course of hiring. Is what it is. I liked her a lot. And she's organized in ways I am not & that will be great.

Our wings are not tired.

Very good to hear that is settled, sarameg.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

there's a place in downtown Seattle that makes the most amazing fries I've ever had -- I think they cook them in duck fat. SO GOOD.

Mmmmmm! There's a food truck here that serves duck-fat fried tater tots. Delicious.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Home again, home again. Definitely a migraine, but the pain is like a 1, maybe 1.5 However, I have crazy nausea. I almost booted on the plan, which was a totally normal smooth flight. But I didn't, thank god.

My FitBit glitched and told me I was 6,000 steps over my goal when I was only at 5,100 steps. (Though it wouldn't be unheard of for me to make my step goal –900 steps.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The trade war has hit my library

It hit my theatre the day after the tariffs were announced. Even though we ordered a new Genie lift before that date they hadn't started building it yet so it's going to cost an extra $600 or so. I've been getting notices from other vendors that various products will be going up anywhere from 6-12%.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have been wondering how aluminum tariffs will impact us but I don't know who to ask.

Likely when I'm in Iceland.

Beware of volcanos!
