Just in case that made someone wonder- I meant back to the building. I am working now more than ever since we had both furloughs and hiring freezes, I was already doing two roles, and both roles were really increased by COVID-19.

When I go back the 29th, it will be in the Medical Center, and I will have to wear a surgical grade mask, which will be FUN for 10 hours, but I will do it.

~ma, amyparker. It is difficult.

askye, I'm too sorry about the bunnies. I am still at wonder that you have bunnies out there (we have different wildlife here. Mostly cats, porcupines and Indian porcupines, some deer (though the last will stay away from humans), and jackals. Not a friendly bunny ecological system).

I don't know that I've ever seen a porcupine in the wild! Or a jackal for that matter, but porcupines are at least theoretically wild where I grew up.

I am v sad. Most of my clothes don't fit but my fave pair of shorts still did, and I've worn them a few times this summer....and noticed they have a frayed hole right at the bottom of the zipper. So, crotch area. Frayed, so hard to patch. Booooooo. I hate buying clothes without trying them on. But I may have to at this point!

Also, David that is ridiculaous.

askye- so sorry to hear about the bunnies. My cowrker spent several weeks protecting the baby bunnies in her yard from predators while Mama was away (she didn't disturb the nest, but she set up cameras and when the fox or the cats got close she would scare them away. It was very stressful for her.

Porcupines are notoriously hard to spot in the wild here, even for researchers who go out looking for them to study. We have them, but they hide really well, apparently.

Baby bunnies do not have an easy time of it. There's a reason why rabbits are a symbol of fertility, gotta make a lot of babies to have a few survive.

I ran out to get lunch and discovered the coffee I bought on the way into the office (because I wasn't sure about the coffee situation in the office (and the situation is, the coffee makers are unplugged, although I think I heard that the department keurig is still available we just have to clean it thoroughly if we use it) was still in my car. I spent all morning thinking I had already finished my coffee, but no. Still warmer than lukewarm and strangely delicious. Maybe just because I haven't been drinking coffee for a while?

I meant to say, Matilda's whole starting high school experience is just atrocious so far. Bah.

Huh. Posting that just made me remember that when I started high school the computer system for schedules somehow lost me so I wasn't showing up as enrolled in any classes for a while. Fortunately it was a small school and we were able to work it out manually pretty quickly. Forgot all about that.

Don't tell anyone, but I am flagrantly walking the "wrong" way down the aisle my cube is on. I can see all the way down to the end that there is no one else in it and there's no reason for anyone to use it unless they are coming to see me...

I just wanted something close to normal, you know?

Yes.

Don't tell anyone, but I am flagrantly walking the "wrong" way down the aisle my cube is on.

-t is a damn rebel I tell ya.

Went and got son drug tested. He goes for orientation on Monday and Tuesday. I told him he should let them know he is comfortable and secure in his orientation, but I guess it is a mandatory thing.

amyparker, I thinking bursting into tears during yoga is more common than you think. Virtual distanced hugs, in any case

Timelies all!

Mr. S has an inflatable flamingo, which he keeps deflating and re-inflating. Your guess is as good as mine.
