The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Because books.

I have woken up to the wifi not working (fixed it), I lightly stabbed myself with a knife making breakfast (band-aid applied), and stabbed myself in the lip with a fingernail while eating breakfast.

Well, it is Friday the 13th...

msbelle, I'm sorry they're such assholes, but glad you got some severance and COBRA. Onto Baltimore!

Steph, I'm late chiming in, but all kinds of heart~ma to Tim, and I'm glad this will be a relatively simple procedure.

Yay Matilda!

-t, I don't know about the impeachment thing, but I can say, fuck him in the ear to the warehouse guy.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

-t, there is only officially supposed to be 10 minutes of debate per amendment, so if a member wants to debate an amendment that has already been debated that much, they offer a pro forma amendment ("strike the last word") to get more time.

I thought it was something like that, Debet, thanks. Standard wyas to ignore the supposed rules, instead of, I don't know, changing the rules, I suppose. I don't understand how anything ever gets done in Congress, but I guess it works somehow

AMAZING, Gud!

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

well - I am starting to come down from the day.

Family all knows. Dog rescue knows and has a hard end date for me keeping the current foster. I did a TINY bit of retail therapy (less than $20).

I emailed my one question about the severance package, the COBRA coverage, at 11:50am and they have yet to respond.

I've texted 2 people at work so they know and one of them is bringing me the food I left in the freezer and I'll probably be getting together with all of them one evening soon for wings and beers.

I am about to start on a timeline for the move. Current aim is for me to hit the road to B'more either 1.26 or 1.27. So movers have to happen before then, realtor has to happen before then, packing abso-fucking-lutely has to be finished before then, quotes on work on the house have to happen before then - actual work on the house might happen before, but might happen after - stuff to sell in parent's estate sale needs to get moved to their house before then.

Just a few things.

Tonight I drink.

The immediate timeline sounds very reasonable, msbelle.

My department's Xmas outing is going to see Jumanji II. I never saw the first one and only saw pieces of the original. Probably it'll still be perfectly enjoyable. We're going further away this year (20 minutes! Definitely getting on the freeway) which I am not super pleased about, but it's not up to me. The movie theater we used to go to managed to inconvenience or annoy the people in charge last year, I guess.

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

Timelies all!

Meh. Just feeling kind of bleh. Not sick, just tired .
