Woohoo, Jesse!! I still have only won 59 cents. I think after you have $20 in your account they will paypal it to you?

So that day may never come, but in the meantime, I'm patting myself on the back!

Everyone has been so productive. I didn't get much down around the house this weekend. I went to the grocery store, cooked a couple of dinners, did a couple loads of dishes, and washed the sheets (well, my wife started the load, I just dried and put them back on). I also did some work for my wife's business. The rest of the weekend I spent working on work. I think I've worked 40 hours since touching down at the airport Wednesday night at midnight.

I would like to get the new site finished, but I've been crazy busy. I did start watching Black Panther while I exercised and so far it's pretty great. Also indulged in an hour of woodworking and make a really nice joint. Nice for me anyhow.

And, my mother continues to demonstrate why I don't tell her stuff. I posted a thread of someone saying, "I was in this situation where I might have been raped, but I wasn't, because the guy that I was with wasn't a rapist," and she responded by saying that the person should have shown better judgment. Which is exactly how I'd expected she'd respond. (So I said that plenty of people would say that it was showing poor judgment to set up a tent next to two guys that you just met, at a campground in the middle of nowhere -- that's how she and my dad met.)

I think they don't have a limit anymore. If you cash out, they send it to your Paypal.

I won 3 times in one week for a grand total of $12.94, and that seemed to be the end of my HQ luck. Lately, I've been forgetting to play.

Kat, I have also been depressed and turtling, and were live 15 minutes from each other. I vote dinner and drinks soon.

YES. DEAR GOD YES. More than ever, people need to band together.

Hi Cindy! Noah and Grace are 11, so, you know, not great. Noah actually is 70% delightful and Grace is 100% a handful.

What makes me most despondent about the Kavanaugh situation is not the HIMness of it, but the banal commonness. Men are not a big part of my world and they haven't been since I've been out of college, so I forget sometimes what it's like to deal with the common version of men. In a classroom I have more authority so the male students treat me differently, but it exhausts me to consider what my daughter is going to experience.

I'm working from home and haven't actually gotten out of bed yet, so, outlook not great on avoiding settling into apathy

I hear you, Kat. The banal commonness, yes.

I've gone all the way through BURN IT ALL DOWN to plzgivemeayurtnowthx and am terrified of settling into apathy due to an excessive case of the can't evens.

I'm not usually a person that wants to go live off-grid, but I'm at the point where retreating into the woods and becoming a terrifying urban legend is sounding like the best plan ever. But I'm also trying really hard not to hit the can't evens apathy.

The White House authorized the FBI to expand the scope of the investigation. I wish I could stop feeling that slight flare of hope each time something non-horrific happens.

I depend on it. Without the moments of sane behavior I would not be able to go on line at all.
