My master's comprehensive was scheduled for three days after the blizzard hit, so I just hunkered down and studied. That was my plan for the week anyway, so I already had everything I needed.
THAT makes sense.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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
Jess, I'm so sorry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm sending good thoughts your way, Jess.

Plei, you could go yell at them from their front lawn? :) Apparently my sister dropped off shopping for my parents on their stoop and then talked to them from her car while they were in the house, LOL.
They live on a hill and are hard of hearing! Even if they were out on the deck, I am not sure they'd hear me!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I'm so sorry, Jessica.
I finally got my new laptop, set everything up, plugged in my card reader, opened up IE, and... no go. STILL cannot log into the network.
I'll give it another try in the morning, call the IT folks, and then go to the office to see if there's anything important in my email.
Apparently you can park right outside our building now, which is just shocking to me.
The Governor has called for shelter in place statewide; I wonder how much that will help.

The status is NOT quo.
So sorry, Jess. Sending my love.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My mother was the only one of her 4 Boomer siblings not to fly out to Cincinnati yesterday. Including my one uncle who IS A FUCKING DOCTOR OMG. Family Zoom call at 11.
In the meantime why not enjoy some Lin Manuel Miranda singing Everything's All Right? I plan to watch this on repeat for the next seventeen or so hours.

Jess, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad your mother is doing the smart thing.

I'm sorry, Jessica. Much peace to you and your family.
