One of the first things you told me when we met face to face was not to call you that name.
In other news, it's frickin' snowing here.
You turned evil a lot faster than I thought you would.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh that sounds fun.
I'm so grumpy already. I don't know how I'm going to last ten more days without chewing off my own leg or my family smothering me in my sleep.

People try to call Jacqueline "Jackie" and that does not go over well.

Anyone trying to call ltc any shortened version of her name will get an earful from her.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yep, Dallas County is now under shelter-in-place. Well, technically, not until midnight tonight. We still need to go to the grocery store today, of course.

The bakery we go to is closing. I was hoping they were still considered essential because we have to interact with less people to get bread there, and it is better bread.

I've had people try to call me "Toddy" (shudder).

Ohio's stay-at-home stint starts at midnight tonight, so Tim's at work today, but I can tell you that 2 weeks of having him at home while I still work 40+ hours a week is going to end with me yeeting him into space. But he's also going to lose his goddamn mind being stuck at home, because he is 100% an extrovert, just a very, very chill one, but he needs time with people-not-his-hermit-wife. I do feel bad for all the extroverts stuck at home, and I hope their loved ones don't yeet them into space.

Tim's company is actually considered "essential" in several areas (for one thing, they have government contracts for some stuff), so they aren't closing. If employees need to stay home, it has to be unpaid, but their job will be protected. I told Tim (despite knowing that I will yeet him into space after being at home together for 2 weeks) that he should still take 2 weeks off. He's high risk in 2 different categories, and he needs to be at home with his surly introvert wife. We're exceedingly lucky that we can absorb a 2-week hit to his paycheck with no problem. But him in the hospital for the second time in 3 months would be WAY worse.
So despite my preemptive threats to yeet my dearest into space, I still want him home.
