Oh, Tim. Just do it. Don’t aggravate your fantastic wife.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

We're in the same boat - our school district just pushed back re-opening again. Mal is starting to crack from 9 months in solitary.
That's the thing, Volans. SF had gotten the safest tier in the state. Transmission was minimal. They could have opened, but it's clear that they don't have a plan. There are safe ways they could open but apparently they're just going to take the same strategy as the Trump administration and do nothing until a vaccine is out.
Matilda has really struggled with depression through this. But at least she's actively engaged with her online classes. There are kids in the Mission who haven't checked in since March. These kids are just losing their education completely.

Steph, can you try guilting him into it? "Do you really want to be responsible for getting me sick?"

I shouldn't admit this, but my first reaction (seriously) was "300 degrees OH MY GOD...wait."
Ha!
Interestingly, that is the case over here as well.
I think I like your 3 better, if its followed by a low number.
Would it be wrong to hold his presents hostage until he gets a Covid test?
Also, ha! And, yeah, Tim just go get the test. Do it.
I'm eating leftover risotto for lunch. It is so good.

Tim, get the test. I hate the test, it's no fun whatsoever, but it's also not the worst thing.

I tried guilt and he was impervious! Or I'm not very good at laying on a guilt trip.

Tell him you know someone who has NO moral qualms about hexing him with uncomfortable things, and if he wants to avoid that, go get damn tested.
(I am. here, as always, to be the threatening witchy figure for the Buffistas. Does it work? Who knows? But the offer is always open.)

If withholding the presents seems like it would work, you should totally do that.
Someone is doing some kind of roadwork outside that sounds like a giant rattling sander, and it's been running for hours. I expect it will continue all day. Definitely not slowly driving me round the bend.
