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.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

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.

Is something retrograde? Literally everything I've tried to do for work today (4 different manuscripts/projects) has had a problem that prevents me from getting any work done on said manuscript/project.
I feel like this is a message from the universe that I shouldn't do any work today. (BECAUSE I CAN'T, apparently.)

I did have nachos. They were tasty.

YES.
That may account for the weirdness...

Not like anything important is happening on November 3.

In between my previous post and now, one work thing did actually come through that I can do (it's author corrections to an article, and for changes to statistics, we always ask the author to verify that the change is okay -- the author keeps answering "This is fine" to those questions, which is making me think the "This is fine" dog is actually the author of this article).
