oh dear ... we're having weekly staff teleconference meetings and today one person took the entire call with his dog on his lap ... seemingly the dog will bark up a storm if he's not included

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm having a little guilt about toilet paper, because I went grocery shopping this morning and the Meijer we shop at hasn't had TP on its shelves for like 2 weeks now, so I went to Target specifically for TP. We haven't been hoarding TP -- 2 of us don't go through a ton of it -- but Target only had the giant 18-roll packs, so that's what I bought, because we needed some TP. If they'd had a 6-roll pack, that's what I would have gotten. But I guess we're just set for the next month or so, which is nice.
Trader Joe's had a line outside for the shoppers, because they were only allowing a limited number of customers in the store at one time. It felt like waiting in line to get in to a bar! It was delightful to shop in an uncrowded TJs, though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Phone call went well from Husband's POV, so I guess we'll see.

Our wings are not tired.
What area of Florida, Dana? (yes I want to know for purely selfish reasons)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I hope Hec and Matilda are still well.
We're fine. No symptoms.
After a week of lumping about on the couch, Matilda erupted into a frenzy of productivity over the last couple days: doing art, cooking projects, working out to YouTube videos, cleaning the living room and doing her (now optional) homework unprompted.
I'm getting a little burned out on 3x3 meals a day, plus coffee and snacks and doing a full sink of dishes twice a day. Bah.

Fuck. We're getting bad news on JZ's dad.
He's in jeopardy now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm getting a little burned out on 3x3 meals a day, plus coffee and snacks and doing a full sink of dishes twice a day. Bah.
So. Many. Dishes.
We also discovered this week that we do not own enough bowls for all 4 of us to eat 3 meals a day at home.
Leftovers night (formerly Thursday) is now a thing of the distant past because all the leftovers are becoming next-day lunch. On the one hand, less waste, on the other hand NOW I HAVE TO COOK EVERY FREAKING NIGHT ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
I'm looking online for a good bodyweight training program to complement the stationary bike downstairs. Any recs? Must be appropriate for fat beginners with bad knees. (Ideally free but most services have at least a 30-day trial period.)

Oh no, Hec. Fingers crossed hard for all of you.

Ann, that's a ferret.
All best thoughts for JZ's father.
