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.

Good to see you tommyrot! Sorry about the job sitch.

The good news is that the terminal is deserted, and it looks like the flight is mostly empty.

Oh, that's great. And good luck with the financial stuff -- that must be incredibly complicated to tease out.

meara, I think my shoulder is sore from kneading bread, which seems embarrassing.

That’s a bummer tommyrot, but it’s really good to see you anyway.

Speaking of seeing, I made it to the Zoom for literally two minutes, but it was a good two minutes! Lovely to see Nilly and fam, and Connie and bkt and Sheryl and a moment of JZ and Matilda with the Theda Bara eyes! When do we do it again?

Safe travels pix, and best wishes for your dad.

Wow, Pix, that's quick! May your trip be blissfully uneventful.

Good luck Pix, and thenks to everyone who was on the call!

Timelies all!

I'm sorry about the job situation, tommyrot.

It was nice to see folks(and sprog, and cats and dogs) on Zoom today.
