Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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 remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Not to be confused with boll weevils.

Which is the lesser of two weevils.

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

I did go to the nearest big grocery since I was out (picking up breakfast from local coffee shop) and was rewarded with bread and a refill jug of hand soap. Also got frozen pizza and breakfast sandwiches, sunflowers, strawberries, chips, and cheese. Saw no TP or flour.

What is even happening?

JZ your brother's post is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us. I'm keeping you all in my prayers. I hate that this is happening to you and yours. My heart goes out to your mom. Family doesn't begin or end with paper, and even though it changes, neither does love. I know you know that. I remember you and Hec taking care of EM when she was going through a rough patch.

I have four roommates.

(And a bonus my-girlfriend-has-moved-in-for-the-quarantine-and-I-never-said-a-word roommate. At least she's stopped moving back and forth since she got furloughed.)

It's a good-sized house, but other than going for walks and the occasional food errand I haven't been alone in almost a month. It's making me a little crazy. At the risk of going full-hippie, I feel them around me all the time.

Oh Trudy, six adults is a whole lotta people in any house that doesn't have wings and an overabundance of bathrooms.

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

I wanted to riff on: "He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas," but in trying to find mathematical terms that rhyme with "dogs" and "fleas" all I could come up with were "logs" and "degrees" and I Cindyed myself right out of the joke.

I was just in my profile, looking for this tagline: "Angel says to me that there can be grace even in darkness; Buffy says to me that that you can get a damn generator and turn the lights on. --Katie."

My all-time favorite by Flea's Casper ("We are lost in the middle of darkness") needs a hiatus. It is just a little too on the nose right now.

Anyhow, looking through my storage bin, I found these:

Welcome to the world, Baby!Cashmere!!! Born 11 April, 2004, at 8:54 pm at 8lbs 6oz, 20 inches long. Everyone is healthy.

Welcome, Princess TickyBox! 13-April-2005

This means Owen turns 16 and Ticky turns 15 in the next eight days.

We old.
