Our wings are not tired.

The only reason I would yell at my husband with a 104 fever would be if he was refusing to go to the doctor or ER. Yes, I would be freaked out. I would also be taking care of him and doing everything I could to help him feel better.

Your wife is abusive, Gud. You are not a jerk. Never in over 30 years of marriage has my husband made me feel like I was a jerk. He is my biggest advocate. Yes, we disagree, and even fight. But never has he treated me as anything less than a treasured partner. It is wrong and you deserve much better.

Also, why and I watching news? A much better plan would be to avoid all media for a couple months.

And the turkey post -

Happy birthday wishes to Sophia and smonster today!

(I may get on to FB later, but not up to it yet)

Now tagless for your comfort.

Gud, jerks seldom, if ever, worry that they are jerks. Hence, you are NOT a jerk. You are ill and exhausted and your partner is NOT being a good partner.

I am in the Pit of Despair(TM).

I fell skating outdoors yesterday and hit the pavement pretty hard. I feel like I've been hit by a bus. ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET! Mine saved my nut, which double bounced.

UGH.

I made a display of RBG children's books this morning. Most of the books are already gone.

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

Happy Sophia and smonster days!

And ugh, Cashmere. I hope you'll feel better soon.

Gud, how are you doing today? Did you see a doctor?

Good to hear the nut was protected. Yes, I learned that lesson early in life. Helmets are good.

Yes, I hope to hear that Gud is getting proper medical care.

In my Senator really cares about my concerns news, I wrote to Sens Scott and Rubio concerning the inappropriateness of voting on the SCOTUS vacancy when we are currently voting for President. Senator Scott this morning wrote back and addressed my Covid-19 concerns.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Dear sir, I hope this form letter finds you well...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

That seems to be the way a lot of politicians handle it - I've heard multiple stories from people who write a disfavorable letter to the Senator/Congressman and get a response saying "thank you for your support".

Thrive to spite them

We went to Costco today so I renewed my membership. It wasn't bad going there, the parking lot was full but it seemed like there were fewer people inside. And they didn't seem to have as many displays of things as I remember from the last time I was there (which was march I think).

But it was exhausting and I'm done with that until next month when we go again or possibly Instacart it.

Wednesday I'm going up to see Mom -- social distancing! We are getting my tv and some other stuff out of her storage unit. And then I'm doing nothing else until I go back to work because that is enough "big trips". I have lost my stamnia for stuff like that.
