I'm sorry you're sick, Gud. I'm glad you can see that your wife's complaints are not accurate. I hope you feel better soon, and she lays off and chills out.

I'm not planning on watching the game, but I had salt and vinegar wings for lunch because they were on sale. Yum!

I think I hafge flue instead of cold. Fever seams too high ahnd long for cold.

Could be. Take care of yourself.

So my favorite restaurant got death threats because someone was butthurt about a poster of this [link] (owner is friends with ilegal mezcal.) Word got around, media followed up. Tons of people came out to support yesterday [link]

Of course, it also means the internet trolls are out. I stopped by today, with cookies, & she cried on my shoulder. It's a lot of extremes of emotion to process. It made her laugh when I gestured to the room full of people from many races & languages & backgrounds 'this dream is the asshole's nightmare. And we've got full bellies.' Thing is, I'm sure the asshole just saw the poster in the window, cause if they'd made it inside, they woulda fled. It's is a fucking shrine to feminism, chingonas (that word features prominently in the decor,) pro-immigrant & all things Mexican. Hell, the assholes probably had to google pendejo.

Anyway, I was heartened to see at least 4 newbies come in BECAUSE they'd heard about the threat & also see a lot of her other regulars come in with words of support in addition to orders & taking selfies with her.

And now I have a quart of posole & a tamale that I'm still too full to eat (one sope asada & one al pastor & atole (think hot horchata) fills me up all day. It's not a ton of food, it's just filling.)

* also, I worry about any customers who are undocumented, who might not feel safe anymore because of the spotlight.

Aw. I'm glad they are getting support, and I hope nothing too bad happens in retaliation.

Hey, does anyone happen to know if a "passport card" is valid ID for domestic air travel? I didn't realize I had one, but I guess I do.

Yes. I think it'll get you into Canada, too.

Rest up and stay hydrated, Gud.

Sweet

As we already know, the Gud-is-Good bot says:

GUD YOU ARE AN AWESOME PERSON AND YOU DON'T DESERVE THIS

But the nicer and less robotic me would also like to chime in with: sweetie, take care of yourself. If indeed you have the flu, that is not to be fucked with, and if it's just ("JUST") a cold, you still sound exhausted and disheartened. Rest and soup, my friend.

Yeah, flu or not flu, a fever really knocks a person out. In my experience.

True. Trying to heal itself makes a body tired.
