You probably still have the flu and need rest so you don't end up down and out again. Yes, I work from home and it can be very distracting when trying to focus on a project. When I was in school I used to go to the library to study because if I was home there were too many other things demanding my attention.

Flu can really knock you down -- it's an all-body attack, not just sniffles. (Which is why it can be deadly.)

Fortunately, I'm keeping dinner really simple today and just making loaded baked potatoes. Clean off the potatoes, coat them in olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and then in the oven for an hour at 425. Very easy and any of my flu germs will be terminated with extreme prejudice.

Gud, please take care of yourself.
We went out for Mexican tonight because it was kids eat free night and we had a gift card. Also their margaritas are yummy.

So this is meant to be mocking the idea that the 1980s were that long ago, and it's funny. [link] But, I graduated from high school in 1990, and the 1980s were SO DIFFERENT from now. We watched some classic 1980s teen movies with Casper, and BOY are they terrible (Sixteen Candles? YIKES, for race, gender, rape... Breakfast Club held up better, but still had some issues.) I knew no out gay people at my high school; a guy I knew came out at a class dinner with the principal in 1991 and it was SHOCKING. I now know out gay and transgender 7th and 8th graders. The 1980s *were* in some ways a long time ago.

Timelies all!
I'm so sorry, Emily.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It kind of trips me out that the 80s are literally to today as the 50s were to the 80s.

Yeah, I graduated HS in 1972 and lived in Virginia '74-'79. It was a very different time. I'm not terribly inclined to condemn dumb shit people did 35 or so years ago, but I will freely condemn stupid ways of handling the disclosures. I don't recall people thinking much of anything about blackface at that time, as opposed to sexual harassment, which does not fall into the 'youthful folly' category for me at all. So some stuff decades ago I may shrug off, and other stuff not so much.

Call me an asshole, but I hope that the flu germs on your wife's potato survive.
