He and Morena Baccarin met (to my knowledge) on Gotham.

Meanwhile, Stephen Bryer is retiring from the Supreme Court, and I immediately panicked until I remembered the Democrats control stuff at the moment.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I think that's right.

Woo!

Our wings are not tired.

So bets on how long it will take Mitch to say it should wait until after the mid-terms?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Mitch can go fuck himself.

Oh wow, I had not seen that news! Thank goodness but Jesus Christ I want to kick Mitch McConnell in the balls really hard.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Tim and I had lunch with my Dad on Saturday, before Tim knew he was sick, so when he tested positive for Covid Strikes Back, obviously I called Dad to let him know he should get tested, too. He did a rapid test yesterday that showed such a faint second line (2 lines = positive) that 2 different people disagreed about whether there was a line there or not. So he's going to do a test again today. I hope for his sake that it's negative, since he already has a bajillion medical problems.

I'm starting to get a sore throat, but it was also 6 degrees with like zero humidity when I woke up, so I'm telling myself that all the dry air is the reason for the sore throat. I was always planning to take another Covid test tomorrow, so that's still the plan. #TeamNoHumidityDryAir

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Calli, would your current job be do-able remotely? Or would it be “you can do it from home but for logistical/admin/tax reasons we can’t have you live in another state” kind of thing?

Oh, absolutely. I've been in the office three times since March 2020, and honestly, all of those were more for social reasons than work reasons.

I hope your dad's ok, Steph.

Also he and Morena Baccarin are married with two kids!

Huh. Well, good for them. It sounds like he's got a good head on his shoulders. (I feel 90, like I'm happy the young couple seem grounded and whatever.)

I'm glad we have a chance to replace Breyer while we're in control of things.

My dad's second test had a very clear, dark line confirming that he does in fact have Covid. But he really doesn't have any symptoms, which is really good news. Fingers crossed he stays that way.

He told me that his cell phone wasn't working, so maybe he'd go up to the store and get it fixed, and I was like PLAGUE! UNCLEAN! Jesus, Dad, you just tested positive for Covid STAY YOUR ASS HOME. How do you think it spreads????? He agreed to stay home, though. God damn, old man.

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

Oh, dad of Tep. I do hope he stays feeling ok, as well as remembers to stay away from people. Jeesh.

Now I do think I remember hearing about those kids getting together during Gotham. It's nice to hear that Ryan Ben [I didn't even watch the OC!] is all smart the crypto whatsits and, like, cares about people.

I think I had other stuff but I forgot.

I am trying to go through our three year vision plan so I can have feedback for tomorrow's meeting, but it's a zoom meeting with 25+ people, I doubt I will actually get a chance to talk even if I do have something to say. So far I've just got "oh, yeah, ROI is a good I always like making those back of the envelope calculations" which may or not be what they are even talking about and may or may not apply to my department, so that's how that's going.
