A small bit of good news: Tulsi Gabbard is no longer running for president.

That is good news.

The prospect of not going to church on Easter is...wow.

My church decided that we will just have Easter whenever we can. It's not like it's a real date anyway! And won't the resurrection be that much more meaningful?

She endorsed Joe, that should cause a big jump in his polls.

I may have hurt my jaw clenching my teeth as my son went on and on about how stupid all the voters are who have refused to vote for the Only Person who can defeat Trump, Bernie of course. Be proud of me, as I did not engage. Well, I did point out that the people who showed up and voted in record numbers didn't agree with him, including half the voters in Vermont. It didn't help his rage.

I seriously forgot she was still in.

I'd assumed she would run as an independent once a clear Democrat nominee was established, to siphon away butthurt Bernie Bros or voters for whom Biden is too progressive but who can't hold their noses long enough to vote for Trump.

My understanding is that she's not seeking re-election, so hopefully she can get back to American Samoa via broom regardless of airline travel restrictions.

Thanks for the podcasts,msbelle - Nothing Much Happens sounds like it might be just what I need. I am weirdly wary of guided meditations especially for sleeping - like they are all just scams to subliminally influence me to, I don't even know, m y brain is silly and prone to random bursts of paranoia. But I have been falling asleep to audiobooks of short stories lately, thinking each time "I'll need to listen to this again later to actually know what happened" so stories designed for it not to matter sound great!

Argh, our salespeople are apparently unaware that our offices are closed. I maybe shouldn't have told the one I was talking to this morning that the warehouse may or may not be closed but I am anxious about it and thought she already knew. Sr Director has been in a meeting about it for approximately 2 hours now, I hope I have answers before my scheduled call with Bed Bath & Beyond...

So, um, y'all don't go blabbing, I guess. If you remember where I work and could tell anyone who would care.

I'm sorry for your loss, Jessica. It really is wonderful that you were able to celebrate her life. It is still tough to not be able to be together at the end.

Oh, Jess, that must be so hard. I'm glad y'all got a good celebration in already.

I'm so sorry, Jess. Please let me know if there's anything I can do from here.
