Wow, first time in a long time I was away from the news all day, and Bill Barr resigns. Not bad. I hope he's miserable and so is the orange asshole.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

move out and draw fire
Barr was fired. At top levels in DC you get told you need to "step down" to avoid the optics of being fired. Trump booted him because he failed to deliver the election, but didn't rage-fire him because he's otherwise been colon-licking loyal.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, I want to meara responses to everyone, but I lack the brain.
Gumball's 18 months. He's still pretty big for his age and has mastered All The Motor Skills. His receptive language is good enough that we're probably entering the Spelling Things years. He's been a whiney boob monster the past couple of days, but we put him to bed early, so hopefully that will help his mood.
I have many feelings about the Barr news, but I have no idea how to parse any of them...4 more days of school.
We're looking at a day or two a month of furlough starting in January...but no word whatsoever about what that schedule might look like, and I am SO FUCKING SICK of not being told things.

My day started with a zoom group therapy meeting followed by a zoom funeral. Can I be done with today now?

Oof, sj. That is a lot.

Goodness, sj. That's more than one day packed into just a morning.

That reminds me of the hilarious dinner conversation my family once had about what to name my sister's impending child if it turned out to be twins (it did not) since her married name was Lee. My favorites were Ho and Mo.

I have made several onerous phone calls today, and I was just about to make another one to find out why the fuck my medical supplies are taking so long to get to me when I got a message that they have shipped. So, yay! One less onerous phone call to make.
