Oh, Poor Zen! That's totally adding insult to injury! Well, at least you know you won't have to mess with it when you're hobbling at home without nurses to help?

Really glad that your sister is able to come and help you out, Zen. Who knew you were going to create so many memories this vacation? I hope the trip home is well medicated so you are able to be comfortable.

Also, everything that Laura said.

I went into some kind of avoidance spiral and have done nothing for the library job. I'm ashamed of that but I'm finally doing some work.

I did have a lot of anxiety and I have made emotional progress and I'm trying not to be too hard on myself but I feel like I'm letting not just myself down but other people too.

Spent most of yesterday feeling like a sullen teenager. I feel like I should apologize. Anyway the big break through in my life is I believe that how people see me - you guys , my parents, Will, etc --is true. I may not see certain things myself, but it doesn't mean it's not there it means I can't let myself see it yet.

For your information - this is a real article: US Energy Dept. To Trump: Lalalalala We Can't Hear You, Wind Power Rocks!

Also, I understand that the FBI is executing a search warrant on a GOP fundraising company in Annapolis ... possible RICO charges ....

How in God's name is Rick Perry doing something right?

Playing the long game of being in opposition to Trump so he looks good after Trump goes down?

I'm not convinced he can spell "long game", let alone play one.

Weirdly enough, Texas has actually embraced wind power so this doesn't actually surprise me that much. It's not an environmental thing, more that they saw a cash cow that trumped Oil Uber Alles. The environmental impact is just an unfortunate side effect.

Zen - that is terrible. . . and I just imagine that Icelandic medicine is better than the average USian experience.

Also - Chicago posted the climate change stuff that the EPA had to take down on it's website. Have other cities done something similar?

I'm not convinced he can spell "long game", let alone play one.

Pretty sure he can spell "screw you, Trump," though. I suspect it's more about that than any great environmental awakening.

CJ and I were in my credit union, which is in my office building, to get him a new debit card. We ran into my great, great, grand-boss. I introduced CJ to F and he said some of the kindest words about me and my role in the company. That was a couple of hours ago and I'm still blushing.
