Oh Kate that poor woman! What a mess.

Landed but we will see on the long lines...

The status is NOT quo.

And because it deserves a separate post: Congratulations, Maria! I'm so happy for you both. I wish you many happy years together.

THIS!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Congratulations, Maria! I'm so happy for you! I'm happy for him too, cause he gets you.

I'm so worried about everyone.

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

Congratulations, Maria! What a good bit of news!

I'm smoking in the cold cobwebby basement of my mom's house as I send her poop gifs via text as she suffers (and I truly mean that) through her colonoscopy prep and we go to a hospital tomorrow and my anxiety is sky-high right now.

It's possible I will be up all night with her. Then decontaminate before I let her touch a wheelchair at the hospital, then leaving the hospital to wait at home or in car (no fucking WAY I'm sitting in a hospital waiting room for a few hours unnecessarily) for her procedure to be done.

...this is not a routine colonoscopy, btw. I'd've cancelled that shit last week.

I can't really share my mom's poop chute miseries on SM, but I honestly would be LESS nervous if *I* was getting ACTUAL surgery tomorrow. I had to vent. She's so vulnerable.

Scary, Strix!! Good luck.

Congrats Maria!

I made it through immigration and customs lickety split! Helped a lot that I didn't check a bag. Also we landed early. I'm feeling super relieved to be home even if it's a weird hellmouth out there. Also glad I'm not struggling in at midnight or something, since I have to work tomorrow.

I don't really understand all the people who seem to think "work from home" means "watch Netflix and cook"? I mean, yes, also not going out and not commuting. But still?!?
