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.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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.

very hard to concentrate today, it's going to be 100 degrees here and the air smells terrible.
So sad for all the folks who are being evacuated again in teh North Bay...

How does she already have a report card, she only just got a high school assignment like, yesterday!
I had a custom night guard but it didn't fit great and most of all I tended to have nightmares where I had endless amounts of gum in my mouth and spitting it out or clawing it out didn't help and I still had gum...and then I'd wake up, spit the night guard out, and go back to sleep. I've had some success with a front-teeth-only guard, but even that I chopped up because it went too far up the roof of my mouth. And I'm not sure it really helps—like, it may save my teeth (which is important) but won't stop me from grinding?

I'm worried about my friend who lost her house in the Tubbs fire of 2017 but stayed in the area. Even if she's safe this is going to mess her up emotionally.

Right. Yesterday.
What?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes, I think saving your teeth is what a mouth guard is for.
I have to say, the fact that I put my air conditioner on this morning is not helping me understand that it's almost October.

Sorry to hear about all the rough nights, y'all.
Somehow I managed to break an arm off my new eyeglasses last night by falling asleep on them, so this afternoon I get to call my optometrist to see if anything can be done to repair them. I know they probably get these calls all the time, but that doesn't help much with me feeling like an asshole who's the reason why I can't have nice things.
Between this and the tax thing, I'm feeling particularly shitty and incompetent these last few days. (I did scan the IRS letter and upload all my documents for my tax person, at least.)

You misspelled human and fallible there, shrift. And good job getting the no doubt onerous paperwork moving!
