I might just send my coordinator an email asking if this is on their radar, and what they recommend.
That seems sensible

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.

This is the most on-brand way to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in Boston, well done.
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.

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.

My coworkers showed up at the ELI (Educause Learning Initiative) conference in Seattle this weekend only to be told it was canceled. We live in NC, so it was a bit of a hike for a conference that didn't happen. The conference center let those who were already there take it over for an "unconference" (where you sort of plan discussions and demos on the fly), so that's happening.

Now I'm trying to figure out if I can plan my morning tomorrow to go cheer on Elizabeth Warren when she goes to vote. I should be able to make it if I vote after work...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Cash, I'm so sorry. May the treatments be effective and recovery be swift. And also, hi! Sorry for the circumstances, but nice to see you here.
Good luck to B on his trip, Laura. And speaking of Jamaica, does anyone ever hear anything from ita's family? I think of them frequently and wonder how they're doing.

Travel~ma for B, Laura. I'm glad he can be there for the funeral.
