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

Oh JZ, I feel for your mom so much right now. There are reason she fell for him in the first place and they don't just disappear when a marriage is over. Love to you and your brothers too.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

There's a disadvantage to me checking b.org over breakfast when not-enough-caffeine has hit the brain yet, so I feel like words cannot express how much love I have to all of you. And with this, JZ, I am so sorry. All of the {{}}.

At the risk of going full-hippie, I feel them around me all the time.

Oh my goodness, this. I only have one roommate but she has Big Emotions and anxiety (her definition). My spider sense is being empathic. While we like one another, I've been hiding a lot in my room in the last two weeks from her expressing her feelings. And started playing music whenever she's on the phone/video call.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yes!

My own anxiety is sufficient, thanks. Feeling other people's also is a bit much at the moment.

JZ, I'm so sorry this is happening to you.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Christopher and I played a new board game—Prime Climb (Hiya, Nilly!)

Why am I playing a mathematic game involving prime numbers with an actuary? Whhhhhyyyyyyyyy?

I just want to give you all a hug. I am trying to reset some habits from last week and NOT sleep in. So I was up after 1 snooze of the alarm. Have fed the dog, showered, dressed, and partially coffee'd - all before I would have to be logged on for work.

Now debating if I go to the local grocery to get a few items.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I lay awake for hours last night, which led to sleeping way late today. I'm going full sloth and ordering breakfast delivered because *spins the excuse wheel* I'm supporting a local small business. Seriously, in a non -CVID world I'd have run out for something, so.

Besides, I found weevils in my biscuit flour, so that's not happening at home this morning. Ewwwww.

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

Boo, weevils!

Not to be confused with boll weevils.

Which is the lesser of two weevils.

Cash sit down and think about what you've done.
