It's been a rough day. Newton had a big lump that may be another tumor. One of my work colleagues got hit by a car over the break and is in the ICU in a coma. Trying to focus enough to plan for a couple of days of remote teaching is proving challenging.
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

Hey, documentation would be up-to-date if covid would just stick to its deadlines and stop adding features.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Pix. I'm sorry. Hang in there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Pix, that is a lot for one day.
My kids were remote today due to staffing shortages, and the high school is remote again tomorrow. (5th grade is in person as of now but I'm fully expecting another email in a few hours saying jk/lol we have no staff here either.)
Tomorrow is Aeryn's 11th birthday so maybe I'll just give her permission to play hooky. Omicron would be a really shitty birthday present.

Skipping school is a way better birthday present than omicron.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Pix, that is a lot to deal with.
I had a yearly eye checkup tomorrow and I called to move it back by a month because it’s not an appointment for an urgent issue, and weighing that against potential Covid exposure was an easy decision. The guy on the phone told me all about having Covid in November, and we compared symptoms, and long story short, I think we’re BFFs now.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry askye.
It snowed here. Still had to go in to work, as I'm an essential employee.(Basically the fed government said that those who could telework, should. I can't) There was one other person in the lab besides me. There was supposed to be one other, but she didn't come in. Luckily the workload was pretty light.

Yikes, Pix, that's a lot.

I’m sorry, askye.
Nothing much~ma for the lump, Pix. I hope your coworker comes through ok.
My university is going remote until January 18, in the hope that the Omicron surge will have peaked by then. I start back (from my living room) tomorrow. It’s been a nice break, although I could have lived with not spending half of it with a cold (apparently not COVID, though, so at least there’s that).

We are still planning in person orientation January 6. I do not know how long this will last.
