Is it too early for gin?

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

WHY ARE YOU PILING DISHES IN THE SINK IF THERE IS ROOM IN THE DISHWASHER?!?!

There's even a magnet on the thing that says it's dirty. Take a peek!

Is it full? Run it. Switch the magnet.

Is there room? Put your dirty dishes in.

Now for the tricky one...

Is there room? Put your dirty dishes in. Does putting your dirty dishes in then make it full? Run it and switch the magnet.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Also, anyone else having pet peeves just drive them up a wall because they are so stressed/working from home?

I think Trudy's post just answered your question.

(Also, I deserve a medal for not stabbing my husband.) (And, frankly, he deserves a medal for not stabbing me.)

Our wings are not tired.

We both have worked from home for a number of years, but in the past we did other stuff too. He did basketball and I did outside of the house activities. Now we are watching a lot of tv.

My stress isn't so much the homeboundedness, but the world gone mad, killer viruses, mindfully dangerous incompetency in DC, and the prospect of any chance of blowing it in November, again. It is all just too much.

Also,

Is it too early for gin?

Not at all.

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

Yesterday I did a task I had been putting off since last week and addressed another similar one immediately so I would not put it off for another week.

This morning I very nearly got busted by Big Boss for not having done something she asked me to do yesterday. BUT I am fast and bought myself a minute and got it done up to at least second draft level.

Now I am about to tackle something she gave to me last week, but I had questions about how to do and it involves me pushing back a bit on someone I do not know. Deep breathe - going in.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Does being tired of migraines count as a pet peeve? I'm on my fifth one in five weeks.

That's a totally legitimate grievance.

"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

Migraines definitely wear out their welcome quickly.

Yesterday I finally made myself take a half hour break and go walk a mile and a quarter. Which I feel good about, despite breaking a sweat as if it were in the 80s instead of about 73° at the time. Then last night I for-real cooked instead of just microwaving, and scrubbed my kitchen floor. Nothing nearly so productive today, but I'm wearing pants so at least that's something.

Herding cats for fun

Going out for groceries. Cover me!

It's ridiculous to be so scared about this. I'm vibrating with anxiety.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It's tough when the "enemy" is both invisible and Other People.

I laughed a bitter laugh at a meme on Facebook which was approximately "When I think about all the stupid and dangerous things I've done in my life, the final irony would be if I was to die because I touched my face."
