Timelies all!
Congrats, Dana!
Mr. S's new school just sent out an e-mail with their plan. They will start out all virtual, and re-evaluate after a bit.
Now to see if our current nanny/aide will stay on through this...
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I'm saying it here so I don't say it out loud to my coworkers. That would be mean. But I did say and no one would listen
Ha, -t, my bestie and I were just commiserating over the fact that neither of us can say, "Why, certainly, let me look up that information for you on the software program THAT YOU ALSO HAVE."

Our wings are not tired
Yes. The letter went to both of the CA Senators.

Heard back from vet. Bumps on Miley's leg are mass cell, so we need to get them off quickly and I'll probably be fighting mass cell growths on her forever.
No UTI, so they will try something meds for her peeing in her sleep.
Bailey's bloodwork had one set of elevated #, so they may want to do another test to rule out Cushings. I'm going to try to monitor her water intake over the weekend and that will help them determine what to do.

Puppy and I keep going back and forth on my napping on couch without him vs him walking all over my while I TRY to nap. But I am not arguing for parental leave (though I may end up burning a vacation day at some point here). Hoping with my napping off my headache today that tomorrow will be easier even if he doesn't sleep super great tonight

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
That's a great letter, ND, but it's outrageous that it's so very necessary. I wish I could be surprised that my two senators just up and wandered home in the middle of a crisis, but they are basically malevolent wastes of oxygen, so I'm not.
Good luck with the puppy raising and vet stuff, meara and msbelle.
I'm very, very tired. And classes start next week, so I'll be working a fair chunk of the weekend supporting instructors who got little to no break over the summer to work on fall classes, and now have to start teaching a week early, using unfamiliar tools, with no idea what expectations are going to be from one week to the next. 2020 is going to have one hell of a final third.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
People on my Facebook feed are trying to "both sides" the current crisis and it's infuriating. The House passed several bills to address the crisis, the Senate refused to take any of them up. The Dems then tried to negotiate with Trump directly and were met with batshit demands. It's very clear where the blame lies here. (Also, the GOP basically shrugging at Trump's unconstitutional XOs to "fix" things show that once again they have no interest in doing their fucking job.)
