Bus and Uber? be nice to yourself.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

I'm a little surprised. I just heard an NPR interview with Dan Alexander of Forbes where he'd gone through Trump's assets vs. debts and came up with a $2.5 billion net worth figure. I'd assumed he was doing well, just by crooked means like refusing to pay vendor contracts and having loans from Russian oligarchs forgiven in return for political favors.

Net worth doesn't necessarily equate to actual money, it's about value. So you could have assets that have value (e.g. an expensive resort in Florida), but still be in debt (you owe people money that you haven't paid).

Our wings are not tired.
Laura, add it to the list for when the virus is over. I'd be happy to have you over and cook for you?
That is indeed something to look forward to! Next summer.
Yay, msbelle!
Has anyone who's gotten the flu shot had side effects?
Somewhat embarrassed to say the last flu shot I had was in the 60s. I have excuses. I've never had the flu. I had the shingles vaccine so I am not anti-vax or anything, just selective.
MY sister and I watched the whole Comey thing on Showtime tonight. verdict, no news, no surprises. The only person we liked was Yates. No opinions changed on anything else. Maybe an upside that it will piss of the orange one?
The taxes. Maybe it will get a news cycle. I'm weary. Nothing matters. My only hopeful feeling is that he only loses people, he never gets new followers.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Anyone up? Seems cruelty to hope for insomniacs but here I am.
Dream well, all.

Sorry, you'll have to settle for the people who check in before they go to work.
My sprained ankle is still really noticeably swollen and tender. I stayed off it more this weekend, and even iced it a couple times. Probably should have been doing that from the start.

RICE! Sorry, Theodosia. Can you take a sick day?

Oh no, Theo! I'm sorry to hear that.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Cass, sorry about the insomnia. I hope you got some sleep.
Theo, take care of yourself, and I hope you're feeling better soon.
