Is everybody on the east coast ready for the bombogenesis.

The latest forecasts have the bomb cyclone moving further out to sea, so it looks like it may turn out to be a bust cyclone.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Yeah, right now the forecasts are ranging from 3" to 3' so like...I guess it's going to snow some amount. It's either going to be a lot of snow or not very much snow, and in some locations around the region.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

I want ham and bean soup AND for it to be 63 and sunny. Dang.

I hope it is a bust cyclone!

I talked to Unum and they were like "oh no! let me fix that " and I was like "yeah I haven't heard anything from Corvel that was initiated by them since Dec 21" and I got sympathy.

Thrive to spite them

I need some calm~ma for the house.

I did finally talk to the supervisor of the claims specialist. Well the old supervisor she did say I should have escalated this sooner but was sympathetic and I didn't say trying to fight things out and deal with it makes my brain fog really bad but I will when I talk to the current supervisor. I left a message.

I also got the email address for the new HR manager and I need to write an email but Im really brain fried because it's a bad stress day.

M had a telehealth evaluation for sleep apena, he didn't sleep well last night. Talking to drs makes him stressed out esp since they ignored him the last time he talked to them about this (although he says "they just said I didn't have it" not that they wouldn't even consider he had it) and there was an issue with the phone call so he was super stressed.

THEN his mom drops the info that sometime today , she doesn't know when, the family friend that does repairs for us is coming over to fix the leak in the sink and we won't have access to the sink for 12 hours after that. So we need to go out to dinner. Which immediately threw extra stress on M because it's an abrupt change and also his mom has known for 3 days but forgot to tell us even last night when I was asking about a grocery order (which I accidentally set for pick up and not delivery which is also frustrating).

M is... having a really bad stress day. He doesn't have really any positive tools for handling stress so it's just going to be get by avoidance type stuff and everything else is going to be bad.

His mom is playing the "I can't remember, I have a bad memory, I forgot, I can't help it card" and then was pushing is hard to go out to eat. Oh and we need to get paper plates and coffee because we are out of coffee and paper plates so we don't have to do any dishes because there can be no dirty dishes overnight for some reason, there have been dirty dishes out over night.

I'm dealing with things by trying to figure out how to make concrete blocks in Minecraft so I can make 80s inspired houses in my survival world. And revamp my Goth house and also going to look at cute cat pictures on Reddit.

In San Francisco it's going to be 63 and sunny. I didn't even have to check the weather channel. It's always 63 and sunny even in January.

It was 6 when I took ltc to school this morning.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hang in there, askye. That is a lot!

Oh no, Steph! Fingers crossed you keep feeling OK.

We have a new customer called Old Time Pottery and the salesperson refers to them as OTP and I don't know how I'm going to handle that

askye, I'm so sorry you have so much on your plate right now. Tons of ~ma headed your way.

My Great Aunt and Great Uncle (88 and 90 years old) both have covid. So far they have minor symptoms. I really hate this timeline.
