So sorry, Trudy. That sounds very stressful.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

I honestly have been avoiding thinking more than a week out. My work isn't opening offices anytime soon. I appreciate their conservative, science based plans, but oof, it's sobering & I just want to go hide under the bed for the next week or until I have to think about the week after that...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I keep wanting to take a day off and then like, do what?

I'm seriously considering taking a vacation day for the Community livestream (since it's in the middle of the afternoon on a Monday), but other than that - yeah, what would I do with vacation time if I used it?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's Friday, and we're going to go into the weekend still not knowing what the fuck is going on with this job.

Herding cats for fun
DH has been WFH for weeks. Then his company laptop suddenly died and he can't access their website or make phone calls so he's totally dead in the water waiting for the replacement to arrive. So it's a weird kind of limbo. He helped vacuum the house, which was excellent for me.
The local speed demons are not confined to the freeway around here. They are drag racing on the streets, zooming up to my bumper trying to get to the red light as fast as possible. It's unnerving. Why is that fun?
Yay, Mac! I am so so so happy to hear about his voluntary conversation!

Glad to hear about Mac!
I've got two remaining mail deliveries for the bracelet I bought Mom to arrive before Mother's Day. I don't think that's happening, so the box of disposable masks may have to stand in as her gift.

I'm telling you, taking a day off work and reading all day is not bad!
That's super pretty, Matt. No doubt your mom will love it whenever it arrives. I know FedEx systems are overloaded to a ridiculous degree, I'm sure that's true to some extent for all package delivery channels.
Grr, Dana. Do you even know if he is being considered for the same position or is it just that weird "is he still available" query?

I am loving Chipotle free delivery, though I do tip a lot so it isn't really free. Still it's a great excuse to get a burrito delivered while I'm working.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Taking a day off is great! You can do whatever with no guilt! Read in bed all day! Only watch Bon Appetit videos! Watch a whole season of something!
I really recommend it.
I'm going to get flowers for my mother, and I guess make her another card? (I made her one for her birthday the other week...)
