Back at urgent care today. They did warn me that the guy who moved to FRICKING ALASKA was their expert in getting IVs in, and I have small veins. I was prepared, I don't even blame them. But four tries to get an IV in seems unfair.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ouch, Dana. That's definitely not fair. I hope you are getting some relief now.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Bubble wrap~ma to everybody who's feeling a little extra fragile these last few weeks.

Oy, Dana.
Hi, Karl!

As with masks, getting tested now and then means you're not just looking out for you. It's the hidden cases walking around and coming into contact with other people that's spreading it, so if we keep testing as widespread as possible it's going to keep that second wave pushed further off.

A thing I learned this year: I hate writing policy papers. The research's fine (and sometimes a challenge - in a good way, I love data challenges), it's the specific way of putting the data on paper that is killing my soul.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
After all my big talk yesterday about walking, I didn't get up in time to walk before my 9am meeting! But I think I can run out after this one...

I had to join my 9 am meeting at 9:07 when I woke up :(. On the other hand, I don't really want to go back to the office five days a week. My commute is 1 1/2 hours each way. I like sitting on my porch. I can totally do most of this from home even though I miss people. I want to ask to come in two days and work from home three.

Jesse can talk the talk, but can she walk the walk? Stay tuned to find out!
I have to share my embarrassment. For the last week or so i have been occasionally thinking "today would be a good day for that purple gauze dress that I saw last time I sorted laundry, it should be near the top of the basket", followed by unsuccessful poking around. Yesterday I washed some other clothes and found i had left a bunch of clean clothes in the dryer, including said dress. So I am wearing it today. But that's a long time to leave clean clothes in the dryer and totally forget about them!
In my defense, I don't get dressed every day anymore. Not by a long shot.

-t, I'm there (in other things) 2-3 times a week. Keeping track of where my stuff is basically a list of probable possibilities.
ION, I nearly chocked when a classmate asked today if a final assignment will be graded according to the use of terminology that we've learned during the class (meaning, do they really need to use the terminology that was taught in class?). I'm in an honors program. I didn't think there will be questions like that in an honors program.
