MD's governor has been remarkably sane (even though he shits on Baltimore all the time.)Even with that said, work has pretty much indicated they will follow the most cautious recs of experts from JHU & WHO. And our partners in other jurisdictions are following that lead. Not the feds. Telling.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Ohio's governor has said that we'll begin slowly opening up on May 1, but so far, no details about what that actually means. Schools are closed for the rest of the school year.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Kudos to JAR -- it's always some degree of nerve wracking, every time I have to come out (along two vectors) again. I can't even imagine doing it as a celebrity actor, of any degree of fame.
So like, never get a pet to fix your mental health, but as a dog's seeing eye human, I can't overstate how much it helps both my mental and physical health to have to go out on walks at least twice a day, no matter the weather.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I emailed one of my cousins a few days ago -- he's 95 years old, and lives in an independent living facility in Portland -- and I haven't heard back yet. I'm starting to get worried. (I've got his son's email address, though I don't really know his son too well, so if he doesn't reply in another few days, I'll email his son, I guess.)

I hope he's ok and just missed your email or something, Hil.
My boss asked for my self-assessment which, to be fair, was due to her middle of March. I didn't do it because I was overwhelmed with work and did not care about my annual review. I am now even more overwhelmed with work and care even less. So that's fun.

I have been reliably informed that you can just sift the weevils out.
That may or may not* have happened to a certain Trudy and her college roommate and a box of cake mix resulting in a very flat yet still tasty (and possibly protein enhanced) cake.
- "May not" in that it could have been some other bug - what did I know from weevils? We definitely went ahead with that cake.

Haven't said that in a while, kinda fun

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm supposed to have my monthly "career growth plan" meeting with my boss this week. Is "staying minimally productive while hanging onto my last shred of sanity" a valid career goal?
