Shir, I totally get that dilemma. Just a thought - can you bounce the idea off a couple neighbors, see if there's anyone who has the time to do the heavy lifting, maybe with you advising from experience if necessary?

I realized that my ankle is hurting more at home than during the day because I'm using the stairs quite a bit, whereas I was able to take the elevator at work. Moreover, it only hurts descending, I guess because of the muscles et cetera that were strained, so that the 'going up' ones are pretty much fine.

Bodies are so weird, y'all.

What Chris said, shir—maybe see if you can offer advice but not run it yourself? Put on your own oxygen mask first.

Meanwhile I walked into my guest bath and discovered the bottom corner of the big mirror (which goes all the way along the wall/vanity, it's a half bath) was broken off, and the mirror was leaning away from the wall held up only by the towel rack on the other side. Wtf?! I tried to take it all down for safety but it seems attached on the other bottom corner (but nowhere else). Madness!! How are mirrors usually attached to the wall? Who do I even get to fix this? I don't want to hire someone or do it myself, and buy a new mirror, for a space I'm almost never in. But I definitely dont think it's safe as-is! I moved it a little so it's now leaning back towards the wall and a bit tilted, but I'm afraid I'll suddenly hear a crash and walk down there and go "shit there's glass everywhere!"

Hi Sue! I think we are birthday buddies, so I was thinking of you! It is nice to see you. I don't understand instagram....

Hey Sophia! Happy Birthday! I think your birthday is the day after mine (the 20th.) It's quite amazing how many people I know with Birthdays this week. Virgos stick together?

It's totally normal in the middle of a pandemic to go drink hot chocolate in your car in the parking lot of a Dunkin Donut's when your husband comes home from a meeting because you just have to get out of the house, right?

Happy belated, Sue. Good to see you. Sorry it wasn't the greatest vacation, but good you could be there for your dad. Good news about the Covid rates around you! Here in the Adirondacks it is super low too, and people are very diligent.

So here I am, at almost 1:00 am. Thinking.

I hope asleep by now, but what chrismg said for sure.

Was the mirror maybe glued to the wall, meara?

sj, yes.

Emmett's birthday is today. Matilda's is on Saturday.

Obviously the best people are born in this week.

That does sound normal, sj.

The way that mirror is attached does not, meara. I don't have ant mirrors attached to walls in my house, but I think I've seen them mostly with, like, two clips at each corner?

Birthday happies all over!

I turned off the call forwarding on my office phone while I was there today, and got the voicemail password reset so I can check my voicemail remotely. Another department apparently has been required to put their cell phone #'s in their email signatures, but I really do not want to do that. I'll give it out to people who need to reach me (salespeople and what not) but just having it on every email seems like a very bad idea.

Man, when I left work I thought about picking up some dinner on the way home since I was already out but I was not hungry then. Now I am but nothing sounds good enough to go out for and nothing I have is really appealing, so dinner is a Luna bar and some cheese. I mean, it'll do, but if I'd picked something up it probably would have been better.
