Our wings are not tired.

I thought I saw Zenkitty, but may have been mistaken.

Reports this morning of the RNC holding their convention in Florida, in August, Outside. Seriously, I laughed out loud.

eta: did they ever hear of hurricane season?

I heard a bunch of Senators aren't going, Laura

Fashion question: if you are, say, Emily Gilmore, does your mask match your shoes, belt, and handbag, or does it match your dress?

Now tagless for your comfort.

I hope they will melt in the heat and then get washed away in torrential rains.

That is a great question, -t. I'm leaning towards accessorizing rule of shoes, belt, handbag. But I do tend to match my masks to my accessories (mostly because 95% of my clothes are black). FWIW, my mask is black today.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So we're one month and one week from school starting in SF and (a) Matilda does not have a high school assigned to her and may not until October; (b) we've received no information from the district on how they're going to handle the coronavirus.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

did they ever hear of hurricane season?

That's part of that climate thing, which (as we all know) is totally made up by the climate-antifa alliance for those big environmental bucks. I'm sure they'll be fiiiiiiine.

I've been avoiding carbs, but I'll have to sit back with popcorn to watch the show if they do convene outdoors in August. Of course, the senators are bright enough not to attend, but there are plenty of delegates who will be there. I have to believe they will either come to their senses, or that they won't convince a venue to cooperate.

I'm back in the office today for the first time since...March? It's weird. The temperature check device is pretty neat. Had to hunt down my chair which had migrated to an otherwise empty cube that was full of chairs for some reason.Spent the first half hour/45 minutes I was here clearing off surfaces like we were asked to do at the beginning of returning so my desktop is very bare which always freaks me out a little. Oh, and we get two black masks with our company logo on them in blue. Weird but nice I guess?

Now I have to actually work, boo. Wouldn't you think physically being present should be enough that this point?

BTW, I make no effort to co-ordinate my masks, I wear whichever one I lay my hand on first and it's usually the Vog mask with flowers and hummingbirds (although the hummingbirds are mostly hidden by seams and the valve but I know they are there...) but I'm very curious about what other people do or think should be done.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Brain dump -

Texas cancelled the State Fair and Texas GOP cancelled the state Rep convention.

My parents' signed a contract on their home. It has been on the market since March. Lower than asking price, but more than the first low-ball offer, so given the current economic climate, we all feel good about it.

9:15 meeting at work, my only standing meeting was cancelled and no one told me. Whateves. I went to the office 2 days this week and did a ton of work, so everything in me wants to have a lazy day.

Tomorrow is first Farmer's Market in 2 weeks for me! (Quarantining after the TX trip). I am very excite and may buy all the berries that they have.

Ooh, it's air conditioned here, I forgot! Mmm, comfortable temperature.

information libertarian

For those following my work ac saga, it is a normal indoor temperature at work today! I actually put on my ac cardigan earlier when it was only 70!
