We had a doctor's appointment for ltc today and the nephritis she's had since she was in utero has completely cleared up!

That's awesome, sj!

I saw Ricky Gervais's GG speech on Twitter. I feel like he should watch The Good Place.

Our wings are not tired.

That is great news, sj.

Ten years. Wow, time.

I missed the beginning of the GGs. I have quite a bit of it recorded though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I spaced on the Golden Globes and then decided I probably didn't care. I was kind of bummed out by sports and whatnot.

I thought the meeting I had this morning was an actual meeting, but it was actually a meeting about having meetings. So it took 10 minutes.

I was oblivious to the Golden Globes, but hearing that Gervais hosted neatly dispels any regret I might have felt over missing them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I spaced on the Golden Globes and then decided I probably didn't care.

That's what I did, but I managed to watch just the 15 minutes that included Patricia Arquette and Tom Hanks, which seemed like plenty.

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

I cannot believe I missed the Golden Globes, but I am so out of synch this year I guess that is ok.

I didn't know the GGs were happening at all, but I saw Gervais show up in my right-wing Twitter so I was curious. He was doing a roast so I didn't really find it upsetting, but it was that trope of having to be totally pure to have an opinion and it reminded me a lot of The Good Place.

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

That makes sense, Gudanov. Most people should probably watch The Good Place. Ricky Gervais, in general, should just shut up. I don't know why anyone hires him for, well, anything. But watching The Good Place might help him be better.

I forgot until just now that my 9 hour days start today. Blergh.

I didn't watch the Golden Globes at all, but figured that I really only wanted to see the dresses anyway, and Kat has me covered on that at FB and I also follow Go Fug Yourself, so...

I can't decide if I just spent too much time falling down a youtube hole on my phone yesterday, or if my eyes don't like the computer/phone much anymore, or what--by the end of the day I felt like my vision was all kinds of off. I think maybe I need to take more "staring at things far away" breaks.
