Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Back when I was very young, we had a cat - Marshmallow - who was, as you might imagine, white. One parent was a long-hair and she had the Persian bone structure and long hair, but it didn't fluff - looked short but the individual hairs were long. One summer we went for our two weeks at the beach and had to board her, rather than having a neighbor come in to feed her. On our return, we went to pick her up. The woman who ran the place was holding the cat on her lap and using a baby spoon to feed her chopped chicken livers. Seemingly, she'd gone on a hunger strike and this was the only way the woman could get the cat to eat anything. Spoiled ... she turned her nose up at canned food unless it was mixed with chicken livers, cooked specifically for her.

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

"Spoiled" or "finally being treated properly"?

I am not into being awake today.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Supreme Court just ruled that the Trump administration hasn't jumped through the right hoops to end DACA. Qualified yay?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I think SCOTUS is trying to give Trump a bigotry aneurysm this week.

And with TWO books coming out that aren't praising him, that may happen.

Trump trying to figure out how to fire Roberts.

Our niece has gone full Trump/no mask wearing/ all lives matter and posts on a FB all day.

My first step is always unfollow. Not seeing it helps.

One of my high school classmates is being a troll on one of my Facebook posts today. I think I'll ignore him. I'm too tired for the bullshit.

Our wings are not tired.

One of my office managers lost 2 nurses to self-quarantine today because of close contact to Covid positive relatives. She has been so stressed that my SIL and I were treating her tonight to dinner by me and mani/pedi by SIL. She was in tears when we told her we were kidnapping her for a treat. Now she had to cancel because she has to self-quarantine due to the contact with her staff. She is working, but alone in her office. Then home to isolate (again) from her elderly mother and her boyfriend, who live with her. The stress level for medical workers is off the charts.
