Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

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

Except, I guess, regular depression mixed with pandemic fatigue

Oh, yeah. I guess if I want to validate those as real reasons for you I should accept them for me, too. Hm.

Streaming, erin? I forget what that's on, but it isn't broadcast, right? I guess it could go in Boxed Set. I haven't seen anyone talking about it, so I think you get to decide!

My workday is officially done (tomorrow will likely suck, but that is a problem for tomorrow) and the cat is fed, I'm gonna lie down with the fan pointed right at me and not move for a while.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's cool, Sophia!

My choir director at church, who's just been doing solos for Zoom church, showed us a singer's mask yesterday, and it was pretty impressive. He said it was developed for Broadway, so they are trying! It had like a brace inside holding the mask away from his mouth and also somehow wasn't muffling the sound at ALL.

Wow, cool!

I just realized I missed the first Operations biweekly meeting. Oops. Oh, well, I have my 1:1 with the new VP tomorrow, I can find out then what I missed, I guess.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, that would be good, if it works.

He didn't sing with it on, but for talking, it was impressive.

Thrive to spite them

I managed to pretty much stay away from the news and social media so that is a big win for my mental health right now. Or mostly staying away, I haven't really paid too much attention except for that ugly ass mural on the street in Tampa.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Welp, the entire library will be closing for the last two weeks of August and all of us will be furloughed. I'll be OK financially if we return to work in September, but yicks. I'm up to my neck in academic deadlines until mid-August, so I was counting on the last two weeks to catch up on work here.

Our wings are not tired.

Phew, Judah Emanuel was born sometimes this morning. She texted me a bunch of pictures, along with his name and 7:02, but I'm not sure if that was a time or weight! (eta: this morning!) He's beautiful and both parents are smiling in the pictures. I'll share a pic in the Buffistas FB account.
