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.
I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

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?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

Thrive to spite them
I'm basically just killing time before I go to work. I have a lot of tasks for tomorrow and the next day like write Christmas cards and get them mailed. I'm just not in the holiday mood. I kind of am but I wish I could get all of the stress of work out of the way so I can enjoy Christmas, but that's not possible since it's going to run right up until Christmas.
However! I may try to celebrate the 12 Days of Christmas doing something kind of festive and fun even if it's not a full out Christmasy thing.
It's just been such a weird year.
When I worked at the Florida Dental Association there were 2 member doctors who were identical twins, who lived in the same city (who were in different specialties) but had the same first name and different middle names that started with the same letter. So they were like John A Smith , orthodontist and John A Smith periodontist . It was very confusing
