So, Miss Kitty is doing that aggressive purr thing she does when she wants me to feed her but not enough to stomp and meow, so I look at the time and say "Well, you're not unright"
Unright
I think something has shorted in my brain
River: The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems. Mal: See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like.

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

Hey. New board.
Hi all. Been lurking even more than usual. Always good to read all of your words, even if I don't add much these days.
We are leaving Brazil tomorrow to hunker down in my parents summer townhome in Northfield, MN for the summer. Still teaching distance for the next month, but hoping that by late May, things will be cracking open enough to do some reasonably distant visiting with my brother and twin nieces at least.
The film crew at our school, inspired by some of my wife's Tik Toks, decided to make a video documenting the craziness of two full time teachers and three kids, partly to build empathy with our demanding parent community. [link]

The other day, as I went to sit on the couch, I said to myself, "I'll just watch something until the boop-boop."
And by that I meant the oven timer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know, if I can keep working from home indefinitely I see no reason why I couldn't work from Baltimore...
Yeah, this came up in a meeting I was in this afternoon. One possible answer is employment and tax laws, but I've got to think it's cheaper to have MD employees than CA.

Wow!

That sounds normal, honestly!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
That was awesome, Gris! And exhausting!

Gris, that's a lovely little snapshot of life to have. Thanks for sharing it with us! Good luck with your travels.
I boycotted today. Hopefully will get a working work computer tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath. Haven't decided whether to charge today as sick or admin leave. I WAS sick...of dealing with the bullshit. And the bullshit is grounds for admin leave. And I didn't sleep well. Anyway, not important.

Trust my rage
Gris, where in Brazil? I lived in Rio shortly before I joined the board and traveled almost everywhere when we lived there. Saudades!!

I am so sorry Susan. This must be very difficult.

Oh & my friend who is a nurse & former costumer just got in a stash of cat prints & let me get first pick for a mask. She's been making them for coworkers & fam & friends. She's also been making scrub caps, including custom ones for people with hair standard ones don't well work with-ones that handle a large bun, dreads & locs, ponytail-contain-ers, etc.
