I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Our wings are not tired.

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 remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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?

I'm here I'm here! I have nothing interesting to say, however.

Oh, wait. Happy birthday, meara!
