So much ~ma, Cash. That's so complicated and hard.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oh Cash, I'm so sorry. Much ~ma for your entire family.
sj, travel insurance usually doesn't cover pandemics. Most airlines are allowing fee-free changes to tickets for travel in affected areas.
I'm worried that our annual conference will have to be cancelled. It's happening at the beginning of April, which is not great timing-wise.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm sorry, Cashmere.
ION, just back from a job interview. Good: It would be a job, possibly paying well, with good benefits.
Bad: Open plan office.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
FWIW, I just timed it and a leisurely rendition of that one part of Sweet Caroline (Hands touching hands, etc.) got me to 20 seconds before "Sweet Caroline!" FYI to all.
This is the most on-brand way to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in Boston, well done.

Cashmere, I'm so sorry. I hope your father and brother can both get proper treatment.

Our wings are not tired.
Wow, Amy dropped out before her own state. Joining Biden and endorsing him.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I might just send my coordinator an email asking if this is on their radar, and what they recommend.
That seems sensible

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh, Cash, that's too too much. I'm sorry.
Thanks to David's mention of the President's Day extended sale at Macy's, I finally remembered to order more wash cloths last night with about an hour left on the sale. Which is something that has been on my To Do list for... a while.
Excellent!
My head cold is snot profluent. I've administered antihistamines, NSAIDs, two poached eggs and now a mug of homemade chicken stock with lemon, ginger, Sriacha and Worcester in it. That was good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh. I was inspired by that one tweet!
Wow, Amy dropped out before her own state. Joining Biden and endorsing him.
Oh wow, my coworker told me the first part, but not the second.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
That's a lot of family upheaval to deal with at once, Cash. I hope things get better for all involved quickly.
I think I'm going to check with my mom and see if she's open to postponing our NYC trip until Fall, when there hopefully won't be a pandemic going on.
