Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We're dealing with a similar situation, Sheryl. ltc is tired and cranky all day, but continues to stay up "reading" until at least 9:30 every night.

Punishingly Intricate

-t, that just sounds incredibly pointless.

Our governor just lifted the stay at home order by 50% whatever the fuck that means. So stupid.

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

Reread my tracking question - meant to say "if you contact the vendor" but meara answered that anyway

Lifted by 50%? That's cryptic.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

I wound up having the leftover stirfry over baked potatoes and saved the casserole for tonight.

In more me-me-me news, I'm having to have minor surgery on a tendon in my hand, and they've got a policy of having any surgery patients test for COVID. So I went in Saturday and got swabbed(Bleh) and just got the results back: I am CERTIFIED ZOMBIE-FREE!

A bit of good news in all the mess.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I think "normal" is a concept that has lost its meaning at this point.

It's like Kamala Khan says - the new normal is no normal.

'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"

chris, I bet you didn't know your sinuses went that far back, huh?

I've been certified zombie-free three times now, whee!

(Somehow this is not a benefit I thought I would ever get from a job in assisted living. Definitely not where I ever contemplated being as little as a year ago today...)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good news, chrismg!

Our governor just lifted the stay at home order by 50% whatever the fuck that means. So stupid.

What the fuck does that mean?? Bananas.

That's cool Chris! I wondered if I'd have to get one for surgery but apparently I didn't!

Lifting by 50% is super weird and cryptic.
