I'm sorry, -t.

I tried to go to the big indie grocery store during lunch but the parking lot was full and there was a line! So instead I stopped at the little bodega and bought cheese, coconut milk, tahini, and an It's It! Love those things.

I keep bookmarking mask-making guides. Argh. Today I wore my bright orange bandana over my face.

Happy birthday, Tom!

I'm glad JZ's looking to be on the mend.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Conference call on Monday with the Managing Director on the future of Operations. That should be interesting.

I'm hoping he doesn't mean to be that ominous?

Welp, that's my first 8 hours working since being out sick for a week. I am exhausted, but more emotionally than physically, I think. I might need to order takeout from somewhere that has cocktails...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

so then she can move about and donate her antibodies

This is a wonderful thing.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

This is a wonderful thing.

I don't know if I actually can, though--the whole thing is purely guesswork at this point, a thing that they think might work based on other things that have worked in the past for different conditions. I still want to do it, but there's no guarantee it'll help for this, and so far my doctor isn't responding to any query about it at all.

My dad's lawyer just found his advance directive and one of my brothers forwarded it to us. I didn't think it would be as hard to read as it was, but it is. And it's very clear. And there's my name, in all-caps, throughout all half-dozen pages as the designated decision-making agent. Really it will be all three of us together, but officially it will be me.

I already felt pretty convinced that this whole mortality business was bullshit, but now even more so. This is bullshit.

It is the rankest, lousiest, shittiest bullshit. I am so sorry.

So astoundingly true. I'm sorry.
