Doing an actual show has done wonders for my mood. And the show essentially being a Fannie Lou Hamer rally doesn't hurt. Between Friday-Monday I applied to be an election judge, I contributed to many many campaigns and I ordered 100 postcards to send to voters.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

All good things!
Interesting, Consuela. I can't do the training but await with interest your reports about it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm with Skinner
Also, working and could not help but think as I dragged myself to the living room "Again? I worked yesterday..."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I have in fact said "Gaaaaaaah, my work is requiring me to work!"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I always liked Matt Groening's pre-Simpsons greeting card on the subject: "They made me do things I didn't particularly want to do!"

What is even happening?
Theodosia, I used to sprain my ankles all the time. Ouch! It can really hurt. When you can, remembering RICE: rest, ice, compression, elevation. Regarding elevation, when you can, have your foot higher than your heart.
Here's a good video on how to do a figure-8 wrap with an ACE bandage. It's pretty straight-forward.
Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've been coming in to the office all along ... there have been any number of days I would have preferred to stay home, but I do serve a purpose here and it does give my days structure. And, all along, I've been handling the mail, getting checks and invoices processed ... and we had a BAD leak which I reported right away and it was fixed quickly, so it's a good thing. Commuting has been fairly easy, since there are still so few people riding.

Thrive to spite them
I went up to visit mom. We had lunch outside on a picnic table - on opposite ends.
And we didn't hug but we got a little too close but we both used hand sanitizer and had on masks. Mom's cat really needed his claws trimmed and we ran by her house for a minute and she joked about bringing him out to the car and I was like "I'll try it!"
So she got him in the cat carrier, we did an exchange, and I sat in the front seat of the car and trimmed his claws. He did ok for the most part. Then we did another exchange.
We went up to her storage unit and got some of my stuff out of it to bring down here although only so much fit in my car.

Glad you got to see her and accomplish some stuff, askye! It sounds like you mitigated the risk pretty well.
I got a new blood donor card in the mail and was able to reset my password under my number rather than my email address and that worked MUCH better. And already got my antibody test results, apparently? Negative, which is actually disappointing.
