Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My little team (me and someone I brought over from my old team) got it together in 2 weeks.

Woo, Lisa! I also hope the people get something out of it.

It looks the savings in benefits will be like 6k over a year which is pretty dang compelling and it looks like a really nice plan too.

Ooh, that is good.

Not that her son's life is worth getting a scholarship: can't go to college if Covid-19 kills you.)

Or have an athletic scholarship if you have heart damage....

Any 50+ meeting of people is almost guaranteed to have one presymptomatic person roaming around shedding viral load.

Not according to this, not where I live, not where Steph lives. THAT SAID, I think you are totally making the right call for you not to go, Steph!

Our county is 47% risk, and the county where the shindig is happening is 69% risk. Even 47% is too high for me.

I am definitely not saying you (or anyone!) should be going to or having a gathering of 50 people, just that David was overstating things.

Oh, I meant to say, that's so impressive, lisah! Go you!

The complete mess that is our Bed Bath & Beyond orders this week is crushing my spirit. And I think a smallish part of it is actually my fault, which is making it worse, of course. Argh.

Oh, I didn't think you were; I just checked the data on my county and felt the need to immediately report back with my feelings.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ha, that map says my county's at 92 percent. Sigh.

It defaults to a group of 100, if that helps??

...that does actually help. Thanks for pointing that out.
