It's a tossup as to whether Postmaster General deJoy is incompetent or just doing the evil bidding of his master.
I suppose it could be both.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

TCG finally made it home for a very brief lunch. ltc was hysterical when he left. I can't seem to do anything to console her, so I'm letting her watch at the TV she wants until TCG gets back to go to the test.

There are times when ANYTHING that will keep the peace (within reason) is to be used.

Our wings are not tired.
There are times when all of us just need our comfort TV.

There's almost nothing else I can bribe her with at this point. I can't take her for a manicure or shopping. I can't give her a food treat. So, screen time it is.
ltc did very well with the Covid test and strep test.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Steph, please listen to all this good advice, you need to take care of your own self. Caretaking is super hard, and caretaking problematic family members is awful.
Love and virtual hugs to everyone. Everything just seems awful. We need some good news.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Teppy, I am thinking of you right now. Psychosis is hella scary and I hope things get figured out.
My brother is still in jail, his lawyer wants him to plead guilty but mentally ill in hopes that he will get a shorter sentence. (It, in fact, doesn't help because we've been down that road.) It just means you go to prison. And we all know the quality of mental health care in the prison system. UGH.
AAAAAND the mother fucking cherry on the shit sundae of this mother fucking year:
My niece and her husband had moved in to help my dad around the house--they both worked different shifts, so Dad wouldn't be alone and there would be someone to mow the grass, walk the laundry down to the basement, etc. Well, my niece's husband was arrested for child molesting. A friend's child. And it happened UNDER my father's roof. He is devastated and crushed that it happened and depressed that he had had no idea and didn't stop it.
Can someone please smash whatever evil amulet that has created this god-forsaken timeline? Please?
