I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yeah, all those things reasonable people who differed did as a respectful standard of behavior will need to be laws now.

The Republicans will bitch about us regulating everything - but if Presidents won't willingly release their financials and medicals and give up their business interests and if they treat the Secret Service as a source of revenue we need to pass some laws.

How are you doing the texts, msbelle? Do you have to type in each number individually or what?

Theo - I do them with Red2Blue. It is all online, computer not phone, because you need to be able to check Campaign Guides and switch between the texting place (ThruText) and Slak for asking moderators questions. I have to hit return to send each text, but never even see the phone numbers. It is all automated and Red2Blue has a really good system of moderation, checking texts, training...

It has been a rough few days. I got sick Wednesday and have high fevers for a good amount of time. I got up to just under 106 on Friday. What I know is that it isn't COVID, and it isn't influenza.

My wife is pretty angry with me right now which makes everything harder. I don't try to get sick. Then last night I fucked up by fixing my laptop, saying that if I do have to go to the hospital that I would like it working right. Well, she was really pissed that I was putting that before things like making sure she had all the info she needed to pay bills and stuff and maybe she has a point. Maybe I don't care about anyone but me. At that point everything I said seemed to be wrong so I just decided it was best to shut up.

In a way I was disappointed it wasn't COVID because if I died my family would probably be better off. Well not financially, but maybe my wife could remarry with someone who is a decent human being.

She just went to get some dinner. I offered to do it by she didn't take me up on it. I think she's pretty pissed that I messed up her dinner plans, though I'm not sure how I did it. I just fuck things up all over the place.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Fuck your wife, Gud. Seriously. Anyone who's angry at someone with a fever of 106 (!) is not a good human being.

And that is like the lowest possible bar! Don't be actively cruel to someone who's so sick! But she can't do it.

What if she's right and I am just a jerk. I dunno. At least I'm not doing as bad now. Been between 100-104 today, though I'm not feeling 100% there mentally.
