My anxiety is not doing great, either. I still need to pack my stuff for going to NJ, and get the kitchen cleaned, while also doing all my regular work, and my brain is not cooperating, and neither is my body. I'm sure that I'm going to forget something essential.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
, I think even if your dad doesn't change his mind, you did a good thing in trying to bridge that gap and explain your own views. And who knows, maybe something you said resonated with some part of him, even if he'd never say so.My stepmom voted for Prop 8 in California to deny same sex marriage. We talked for hours one day and maybe she just said it but. Think she meant it when she realized that she was hurting not only a lot of people but ME. I've gone on to date both genders but that talk was a pivotal chunk of hours.

OK, skimmed so I'm hoping I'm not leaving too much behind. As always, ~ma to y'all, especially these times.
Ouch indeed, meara. Glad they're on it.
Health~ma to ltc.
I'm very sorry about all anxiety and difficult political conversations, people. I know this feeling.
Also ~ma to askye. And happy belated birthday, aurelia!
I came here to say that people at school are wrong in my inbox (not just on the internet - in my bloody inbox) and relating directly to points that I have made and I need to be an adult and not to waste anymore time on trying to school them on media critique (and its existence) in a innovation and regulation class. It's bad enough to try and discuss bad and hurtful narratives with people who can hardly spot a narrative or think that it's unproblematic to simply take one as truth and at face value. It's somehow more annoying to take my years of wasted time online experience and ignore the emails in order to write more pressing assignments.
But they're wrong, people. They're wrong.

ltc has no fever today, and is full of energy, but I can't send her back to school until I have the covid results.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm glad she is feeling better, sj. I hope you get results today.
Shir, they are clearly wronger than people who are very wrong!

Helath ~ma for ltc, sj. I have been thinking about you all, but I don't think I typed it in the box.
Butter chicken was good last night, and, as the recipe said, I have a bunch of sauce leftover to use over rice or more chicken or whatever, so... win.
My sister's family decided to cancel the group Thanksgiving at their place, and I'm glad about that, even though it sucks. Given that and why we weren't going to go, a notice from their governor, and the really useful FB post many of you shared (and I re-shared) yesterday, they were like, "Yeah... no." So it will be all Zoom all the time.
ETA: Words I learned from not getting them in yesterday's Spelling Bee - tontine, ollie (other than as a name), and nonillion. There were other words I didn't get, but I knew those. Also, iolite wasn't accepted, and I object! It's pretty.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think I need nachos.

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 think you should have nachos.
sj, it's good to hear that she's feeling better.
JenP, why would they not accept iolite? My engagement necklace has that!
Large machines are chewing up the blacktop in front of my apartment, producing huge clouds of dust and the occasional rock bouncing out of the dump truck. The owners of that Tesla parked out front aren't going to be happy about the slurry the dust is making with the rain from last night.

Oh, that's an issue ... once, a few years ago, they were resurfacing the street in front of the building I lived in. For a couple of weeks in advance, they left notices for everyone that the resurfacing would be done and that people should move their cars (it's a narrow one-way street in a residential neighborhood with parking on both sides). Of course, there was one car that wasn't moved. It ended up COVERED in road dust. Don't know how the owner reacted, though.
