I feel like I've put in a couple of day's worth of work since complaining this morning. And yet I am still waiting for the price exception report that was supposed to be out at noon. Is it actually past noon? I am not sure at this point.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

The car did start, hooray, but it needs coolant (which I didn't realize until I got back home, or else I would have put coolant in it before I drove it, yikes). This is the 2000 Echo, which has faithfully transported me (and then us) since 2004. It may be time to get a car that's newer than 22 years old (the Corolla is a 2013, which is already pushing 10 years and just hit 100,000 miles). I really wanted to wait out the car shortage, because it seems like it should improve by summer. Will have to ponder this.

I also called out sick on Tuesday. I'm reasonably sure I don't have COVID and this is just a sinus infection since I tested myself on Friday and again on Tuesday, but I'm also masking up anytime I leave my apartment just in case. I have zero desire to work and my body doesn't understand why we are not in a blanket burrito on the couch. I need to figure out what is the bare minimum I can force myself to get done the rest of the day.

I had "reschedule dentist appointment" on my To Do list since it's next week and I would like to not what with the pandemonium, but then they called me to confirm my appointment! Rescheduled for March.

I had to haul a good-sized box down to FedEx to return a present. It was nice. It was a size 4. sigh ....

I am in a blanket burrito in my easy chair while I'm working as a compromise.

I went out with a friend to de-stress and so far I have hit a parked car and locked my keys in the car.

Oh, sj, I'm sorry. That does not sound very de-stressing

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I am really tired(npi) of waking up before the alarm. Today it was somewhere around 5:15. The alarm is set for 6:30. I can't remember the last time I slept through to the alarm.

I’m home now. ltc is being impossible and I want to cry.

Our wings are not tired.

I think I wake earlier with an alarm because I wait for it. Haven’t used one in many years. Still wake up at 5 something.

I’m sorry, sj. I hope some alone time to decompress comes soon.
