'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm sorry about the shingles, Sue. May the drugs work quickly and effectively.
We have a large Brazilian population here and I have heard surprisingly little about the horrible situation there from my local friends. I suspect this is because they are unable to do much more than worry about their families and friends.
Monday. Was up at 6 to get a jump on the work day, and yet. Maybe some more coffee.
As usual, there were plenty of "respectable" reasons to vote for Bolsonaro, number 1 of which is that his only tenable competitor came from a party that has held power for over a decade through bribes and corruption and insanely unsustainable economic populism. But it sure sucks that the only candidates to have a chance were Tammany Hall and Bigot Fascist.
It really is horrible, Gris. Brazil has so much going for it, but it has been destroyed and bled dry by corruption for so long.
I'm sorry for you, Gris, and the people of Brazil, but it's kind of a nice reminder of how often we in the US have had two basically decent choices....
I wasn't watching the Red Sox last night, but am still sleepy today, so am hoping I will be camouflaged by baseball fans! I was basically standing up from noon to 6 yesterday, between a trans rights rally and the regular band session, and that takes a lot out of me! Is it weird that walking fast makes me less tired than standing still?

Not at all. I think standing upright without walking is harder on your back and legs.
One of the other school mom's is very upset today and meeting with the school about what she sees as security issues. I hate this.
I'm sorry, sj. Is the school at a Jewish organization?
Yes. They had two bomb threats before ltc went there right after the election but nothing since. We thought about all of this before we sent her there, and decided we wouldn't let fear keep her from such a wonderful school. But I am worried.
Oh dear, sj. I hope that all works out okay.
I agree, standing is more tirung than walking.
There's a Planner at Nordstrom named Jessica Jones. I imagine it's not that uncommon a name, but still, picturing Krysten Ritter at Nordstrom's head office is pretty amusing.
I decided that one day of costume wearing at the office is not enough so I am dressed all piratical today. it's not terribly far from how I usually dress, but I've gotten some positive comments so far.
Standing is far more exhausting and painful for me than walking.
