Timelies all!
So the cold that Gary's been dealing with has now hit me. Mostly congestion, but ugh...
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Sorry about the cold, Sheryl. Health~ma.
So Gillibrand dropped out. Won't miss her. She never impressed me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The NPR Politics podcast has been doing half-hour interviews with all of the candidates, and I just have to say, they all sound like smart, thoughtful people who have actually thought things through. Do I think most of them should be president, or even running? Nah. But STILL. It's kind of heartening, actually.

Yes, they are an impressive bunch.

Thrive to spite them
We have a new time system at work . I had issues with it. Two supervisors said they would fix them. That was last week which was the end of the pay period. I talked to someone on Monday who said they would fix ut
I just looked at my payslip (we can see those on Wednesdays). Guess who is missing 2 days of pay?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I like that Gillibrand foregrounded women's issues especially abortion rights. I didn't think she had a shot, though, and I'm happy to have her in the Senate.

I like Gilibrand fine. Don't think she had a chance, but sorry to see her out before Williamson or deBlasioor the other 6 white guys I can't even name and just had to look up.

I close on the house a week from tomorrow. Tomorrow I plan to calling the title company and verify the wire transfer info and then transfer the money. I also plan to call the gas/electric company and internet service and get those set up for transfer/activation. Water is automatic.
All I want to do is pack. Both for the trip next week and for the move. I do not even have a big pice of luggage to pack and check for next week. I am kinda thinking of just packing a box and checking it.
I still have like 6 work things to do before tomorrow and I should be doing them now, but BRAIN IS SPINNING.

Wheeeee, msbelle!
Huh, there was a standoff between the Secret Service and "an uncooperative person" one town over. I am extreme curious as to what that was about.

Good morning! Where is everyone?
