Hec, I'm sorry for all the frustration. The clothing thing sounds very much like an ADHD thing fwiw.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, man, Hec. How unfortunate for all of you!
Yay for puppy pooping outside, meara! Boo for chronic jaw clenching.
I have decided to not fast today and to work but only kind of halfway - the way I would if I was working from home instead of taking a sick day during normal times if I was feeling not well but not really totally sick. Hopefully this will allow me to catch up on some of my longer term work projects rather than getting mired in all the little stuff that must be done immediately as it comes up...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Anyone up? Seems cruelty to hope for insomniacs but here I am.
Aw, I was up but not here. Sorry. I do miss the old night shift sometimes.

Oh, jeez, Hec that sounds like a heck of a night. You never know when your family will produce emergent phenomena.

Our wings are not tired.
{{Hec & family}} Ah, the whole life would be so much easier if you did what I said and it was all over in a few minutes sitch.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I'm sorry I missed you, Cass - I was awake at 4!
Theo, if you can take the day, keep it wrapped and iced and elevated and stay off it as much as you can. Sprains can linger. Signed, managed to sprain both wrists on a Pilates Reformer.
meara, is a custom nightguard a thing your insurance would help cover? I made "You want how much for a piece of plastic?!?" noises when the bill showed up for mine, but it really has helped with the headaches. (Also TMJ physical therapy, but a lot fewer insurance companies will pay for that.)
Hec, that is entirely too much tsuris for the pre-bedtime show. I hope the morning's better.
-t, that sounds like excellent self-care.
It was so good to see Ken yesterday, despite the circumstances. We made food and played board games and watched The Repair Shop, and I walked him back to the ferry and came home slow, past the yoga studio (I went down to listen to the stream and pat the doors), and picked up some horse chestnuts from the trees near the corner.

It was a phenomenal amount of suck.

This is very true and yet we are both battle wearied enough by parenthood to know how rarely that easy path is taken.
I hope the morning's better.
So far so good. Matilda slept well on the couch. I got her up and she's in the shower and I'm trying to get her parked in front of her computer in the next....six minutes. Hmmm...
Wait, I do have good news: Matilda got straight A's on her first report card. No missed assignments. Which is pretty good for online classes.

Wow, she already has her first report card? Go, Matilda!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I super don't want to work today though
IT ME! I am web surfing and monitering email. We can all use slack days when nothing is pressing and AFAIK nothing is pressing at my work.

TCG was taking today off to keep ltc busy on her day off, but he has the sore throat we had last week, and is mostly sleeping. Meanwhile ltc woke up at 7:30 ready to tantrum.
