Nixon was preemptively pardoned.

It'll take a crowbar to pry the bloated orange tick out of the the White House. Things are going to be real bad, and it scares me to know I can't even imagine what he'll do.
I imagine it's going to involve the bunker at some point. I say just weld it shut.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
May everyone get re-acquainted quickly and the routine be established soon.
Yeah, that!

In re china: I have, um, kind of a lot of antique china. Some of it inherited, some of it I bought. Seemed like a good idea at the time. You know, you can get hangers (curved bits of metal go over the edge of a plate, springs provide tension to keep them clamped) that let you hang plates on the wall. My mother had quite a display done this way ... several of them throughout the house. I once suggested to a friend that, for a shower (bridal, I think), she have the guests bring a teacup and saucer, since it was going to be a larger group than she had matching china for, and leave the cups and saucers as shower gifts.

OMG - I do NOT recommend scheduling yourself for an all day MS Project training class the day after crazy travel day.
DO NOT LIKE.
Also? big boss did not seem to register that I was out yesterday and sent me things to do yesterday and wanted them by 9am today. So yeah - missed the intro of this training.

Was sad to realize that the In the Heights movie is actually scheduled for 2021 though - for some reason I thought it was 2020.
In The Heights was delayed b/c Covid. BOO COVID.
Yesterday we learned that the main sewer line out of our house is even more fucked than we thought. Or rather, more OF it is fucked than we thought and the joint where the shiny new pipe meets the old pipe is causing backups when toilet paper gets caught on the corroded buildup in the old pipe. Which means we get to spend an extra giant pile of money digging a hole in our brand new driveway this week. Remind me again why I though having running water in the house was a good idea?
