I went into the office - stamped a sig on 150+ documents and dated them, then scanned them back in and emailed them off. Please to bring some technology to my workplace. I did a couple other things and then I left (at 4) and went to a local garden center and bought another round of herb/veggies and some perennials and some pots and some bird feeders and seed! WOOHOO!
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
As I was walking back to my door from feeding the alley cats I overheard some lady asking an employee at the door of the pizza parlor if they had anything besides pizza in a plaintive voice, like "won't somebody think of the childrenpeople who don't like pizza?"
Now most pizzerias have at least breadsticks and a few sides, if not a wider menu of sandwiches and Italian specialties. But if you don't want pizza, why the hell are you standing in front of a pizza parlor?

I sat out in the backyard after work, and it was glorious. I even pulled some random weeds! But mostly I made sure that various things were buttoned up correctly, we are supposed to be getting thunderstorms tonight.
Work lunch was catered from Panera today, so we were spread out in the dining hall again.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I shouldn't make snide comments about UPS, I guess. We are shipping packages to a FedEx facility via UPS. By accident, and because FedEx is being a PITA, but still.

For a little while there I thought I would get everything on my to do list for today done. Nope.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am dreading wearing shoes again. Even as much as I sit on my ass (and it is a LOT) my feet still randomly hurt - like I'm footsore from walking too much. What's up with that?
Yeah, same. My feet hurt almost as much as they ever do. Feet are bullshit.
We can also go in sort of as needed- not really to work, but to pick up and deposit checks or use the high speed internet to download videos I HAVE TO EDIT BECAUSE WE FURLOUGHED THE PERSON WHO KNOWS HOW!!!
Oh noooo.

Thrive to spite them
Work was.. just tiring today ..all the assholes came out. My temp was a teensy bit higher today when they did the check but nothing alarming (97 something instead of 96 something)but my stomach was bothering me this morning and so one of the managers sent me back up to retake it and it was 95 something so I stuck it out and think my stomach is just my bad diet.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Teppy, I had to go in for my annual this week, and I was not best pleased about it. They wouldn't renew my prescriptions without it. Still have to make an appointment for my mammogram.

My rheumatologist is like 'telemedicine & your labs have been consistent for a year, I'm not comfortable changing anything over vid if you are stable if not best so I'd rather you skip labs unless you feel a change until we've got some control.' My meds are immunosuppressants, so I'm supposed to call immediately if I get sick with anything. And she's a new mom. I'm good with her.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy Friday, North Americans. (Happy week-end, billytea!)
Thank you! And happy weekend to you too now, I think?
We've received the word that Ryan will be back at school from 1 June. Lots of new hygiene and social distancing measures, of course. I'll be sorry to see him go back really, but it had to happen sometime. Fingers crossed I won't have to go back to the office for a while yet.
