-t, what's the quality like on those leggings? The ad keeps popping up in Facebook, but their prices look too good to be true.

Better than the cheap-ass leggings I got at Walmart, probably on par with some I picked up at Ross, not as nice as Nike. I have neither worn them many times nor washed them a lot, so I don't know how they hold up over time, but they feel pretty good and they look great.

Blergh. I'd give anything to be somewhere else...but I have nowhere to go that I could take Cagney.
You and Cagney are always welcome to come spend a few days at our house if you want to get away from the center of things. My town will not be celebrating the inauguration!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The direction also asked federal offices to try to be closed on the 18th and 19th, which has never happened before.
Maybe they just want to make sure everyone trying to leave before the new administration moves in can get to their job interviews. (Rumblings from other friends seems to indicate there will be a LOT of open job positions at State in the new year.)

Dislike: company has moved to having some assistants be remote in India. Which is annoying enough--but then even though the assistant works 1pm-10pm her time that means the end of her day is 8:30am my time. Leaves very little ability to have a damn meeting. Grrrrr.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, that is annoying!

Even though my noon meeting was pretty short, I have no regrets about eating lunch at 11:30. For what that's worth!

So...D's mom is buying and having delivered a new mattress for our Xmas present. Which is awesome, because the old mattress is old AF, and D has been sleeping in a recliner for almost a year because it hurts his back so to sleep in the bed. (It's over 20 years old.)
But neither of us has ever bought a matress! I don't want to hose D's mom by buying some expensive mattress, but I don't even know where you start. I know some of you have recently bought matresses (Ghost? Casper? IDEK) so I'm looking for recs to at least start from. IKEA?
We need a firm queen...ok, that sounds wrong! But that's what we need, basically. Our box spring and frame are still fine.
Suggestions? Warnings? Hel

I will follow mattress recommendations with interest, as it's something I'm thinking of buying in the new year!
