Reminder that the Holiday Zoom call is this morning and shortly.
Chez Zmayhem will be joining midway once JZ and Matilda get back from church.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Poking my head in to say 'hi' and see what's going on.
Work is not going well and I am incredibly stressed out. My contract expires at the end of Jan so I have to find a new job again.
I had envisioned returning here with tales of my successes in the KC area but....

I am seeing a psychiatrist and psychologist and getting treatment, btw.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Sorry, tommyrot. The year is bad enough without those additional challenges.

It's nice to see you tommyrot; I'm sorry about the work situation. Work and job search ~ma to you.

And from yesterday
I had my first PT appointment for my shoulder/neck today.
I hope it starts helping right away, sj.
Good, safe travels to you, Pix.

I’m so sorry about the job stress, tommyrot. And sj, so sorry you’re dealing with such pain in such an already difficult time.
I made it through security in less than 5 minutes. The good news is that the terminal is deserted, and it looks like the flight is mostly empty. I’m feeling much better about the risks, though I still wouldn’t go anywhere right now if I didn’t have to.

Agreed, but good to hear, Pix.

Good news on the flight, Pix. May it all go as smoothly as possible.

That sucks tommyrot.
Pix that’s great—I always loved the weeks between thanksgiving and Christmas when I was traveling for work because nobody was traveling. Good luck!
Ugh. Am only two thirds done with my first cookie (layers chilling in fridge before final chocolate layer) and I’m already sweaty and exhausted (lots of whisking).
Though I realized this morning—my frozen shoulder is mostly fine now, but now my other shoulder is in pain and I was like “why? This time I’m not lifting weights, wtf?” And then I realized I’ve been lifting the 20 pound puppy with that arm....oh.
