When I found out about my surgery-needing, I was blunt about needing help. In my case, meals, not so much, but I needed rides, non-negotiable. So your person in question is being quite warm and fuzzy.

And I totally made my neighbor bring me peas. I wanted peas. And now they're still in my freezer because the moment passed.

Not sure I can watch Scandal anymore. Reality is officially more batshit than any crazed Shonda writing room.

Totally set it up! People like to know what is helpful.

Just thinking that myself.

Oh man, Luke Perry is the DAD on Riverdale. I feel so damn old.

INTERNET IS DOWN! I NEEDS A HELP!

Airport is showing up, but is giving me a status of "Double NAT" which I have never seen before.

It tells me " The airport base station has a private IP address on its Ethernet WAN port. It is connected to a device or network that is using Network Address Translation to provide private IP addresses. Change your Airport base station from using DHCP and NAT. To bridge mode."

I did that still no internet.

I'd intended to go try the new steakhouse a couple blocks away that has great word of mouth, but after seeing the parking lot had zero spaces and several trucks circling around waiting for one to open up, I decided to drive to Paragould for Italian instead. Probably won't be doing that again, it was OK but not worth an hour round trip.

re: omnis--I want us to win this one.

Crossing fingers for omnis.

Whoo, getting 4 unused litter boxes out of the house this week. Scrubbed one and it'll be picked up tomorrow, 3 more this weekend.

Small steps.

(skipping a lot) If anyone wants a pussyhat (or any other small crocheted thing), a friend of mine is selling crocheted stuff. Zie has a leg injury, which means both a lot of time sitting down, and a lot of extra medical bills, and zie crochets really cool stuff, so if you want something, let me know, and I'll get you in touch. (Or, comment on my Facebook post where I posted about it.)

So, I'm hearing word from my inside source that the White House is trying to make a number of jobs redundant at the NSA. They are civil servants and can't be fired as such. But the jobs can be eliminated.

Why would he do that?

Totally makes me think like he's actively treasonous and working for Putin's interests.

Then again, he's actively trying to undermine the intelligence agencies.

It smells bad.

I just remembered that I do know someone who works at the NSA. But I haven't spoken to her in years, and she kind of hated me then, so I probably won't find out anything from her.
