Coolness, Hec! Hey, I dunno if you've met him, but I know the A's unofficial/official historian -- he's my niece's BF's father, a long-time Oakland resident, former llama trek guide, and amateur historian. Wrote a book a few years back about sports history in Oakland. He's done some work for the A's in the last few years, and knows a lot. I can hook you up if you haven't already met him...
Sorry I missed your birthday, -t, I hope it turned out okay.
I'm just beyond stressed about the political news: Trump squawked about Roger Stone's sentencing recommendations on Twitter, and immediately the DOJ revised the recommendation downward, and four AUSAs quit in protest.
I kid you not: they're going to open a DOJ investigation on whoever the Dem candidate is, before the Democratic convention even starts. And there's nothing we can do about it.
I am sure Maggie will be thrilled by the soup, whether or not she's getting plenty of hearty food elsewhere.
Maggie is definitely not getting any hearty food anywhere else--when she put the stew in the fridge, there were maybe three other items in it. I have pretty close to utterly fucking had it with this country and what it does to its most marginalized citizens (but I'm incredibly grateful for her doctor at the General, who's connected her with the city's Dept of Human Services, and now she has a social worker who's trying to untangle what food assistance and debt relief she's eligible for).
But she was
thrilled
with the stew. Just the smell of it was amazing and life-giving.
Plate-removal~ma to meara and get-out-of-the-house~ma to Tim, and, Sophia, I am completely in awe of you tackling graduate school even with the killing and the ass-pulling.
Happy birthday, -t, and may the evening be infinitely less stressful and infinitely more comforting and celebratory than work, and with no nice foods going astray.
eta: Suela, the news of the world, and the country, and the current administration in particular, is also killing me. Horrifying.
Happy Birthday, -t!!! I'm sorry about the work stress.
I closed out the evening with loaded tiny tacos from Jack in the Box because sometimes I have the palate of a stoned teenager. It was pretty darn tasty. Thank you all for sharing my birthday journey through chain restaurants.

Good for you!

YUP and I'm sick about it.

Very thoughtful! Good to see your pixels here too!
I have found a blessed source of imPOTUS relief people at DH's work are crazy for: Randy Rainbow! See the Cheeto mercilessly lambasted musical style by a fabulous gay man. Don't skip the one about Cruella deVos.
Take two and post about it in the morning.
Happy Birthday -t!
I got up at 7:30 - trying to get myself back on a schedule.
I found jobs to apply for yesterday, but did not complete even one application. Back to it today.
Shir, I posted photos of my dress on FB then realized you're not on there! Oops.
Epic, if it's not too much to ask for, I'd love to see them in another way.
Happy belated birthday, -t!
I cannot continue to pull it out of my ass at the last minute like this, but on the other hand this seems to be how I work, so do I just roll with it? I just asked for an extension on my peer feedback, and then as soon as I did that, was able to complete the assignment in like, two hours.
I am, too, struggling. What I have learned that is I need certain balance of sleep and time for my head and thoughts to wander so that I can focus on school tasks. What is that balance when the workload changes from week to week, I've yet to find. Right now my biggest problem is getting up on time when my days are more "relaxed" (only 4-5 things to take care of during the day/after work). It means I have very little free time left to myself in the evening.

Yes, just when you think he can't top himself he pushes it even further. He still has 11 months to do damage. Serious damage.
