Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

ltc woke up puking. Now her favorite pjs and favorite stuffed animals are in the wash, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything survives. Also keeping my fingers crossed that she's not contagious.

Everything survived the wash. I'm consoling ltc whose devastated about missing school today with any movie she wants on Disney+.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Got a ping back on LinkedIn, so less worried but still concerned

Dear inlaws. I was texting you the information about F being sick because every time I try to have a conversation about it she starts screaming that she isn't sick, thus making it impossible to have a phone conversation with you.

Aw, sj, that doesn't sound like a fun day for anyone. Hope she feels better before too long and you can get a little relief meanwhile

Thanks, -t. We're headed to the pediatricians soon. I think she got sick from congestion and I want them to check her ears.

Coding and Sleeping

Doing okay, it's been a busy week so far. My son ran over a deer corpse Monday and I had to do some first-aid on his car so he could keep driving. I had to replace the brake pads on my daughter's car Tuesday night. All in addition to work of course.

Sorry the week is so busy, Gud. I hope your grown children can help take some of the house chores off your list.

Glad to see your pixels, Gud. Did you guys at least get some venison out of the accident?
