ION - on a 90 minute wait for Instacart helpline. My Aldi order says I can still add things to it, but the add button has disappeared and they now show that they have toilet paper.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

More health~ma for your dad, JZ.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Best thoughts to your dad, JZ. And to you!

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.

Even just for myself, I gave up on lunch today and just had yogurt and cookies. And almonds.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, JZ. Good vibes to you guys.

Maryland schools will be closed until at least April 24, so we will be working from home until then also.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

JZ, I'm so terribly sorry. I hope that this is only a blip.

Jessica, I've been using Darebee to supplement my time on the NordicTrack; it's free, though donations are welcome. And the yoga studio I attend is offering online classes, some of which are gentle/chair based.

Tomorrow is our twenty-third anniversary, and I could have done without this to remember it by, I tell you what.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I finally figured out that I've been slow and unfocused the past few days not only because of the lack of separation of work mindset and home mindset, but also because I hadn't had any coffee since Monday morning and cut my caffeine intake down to about a third of normal. Suddenly feeling sleepy and going to bed earlier doesn't seem like such an alarming sign of returning depression after all!

No one at work seems to have noticed, as multiple people thanked me for getting pages turned around so fast. Following Scotty's rules about deadlines really does work well!

The status is NOT quo.

Oh JZ. I'm so sorry. Thinking about you and your dad.
