Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

This town is getting bonkers over the Super Bowl. The CEO of Tim's company just announced that the day after the Super Bowl is an official paid company holiday this year. I assume he's expecting everyone to be hungover as shit, win or lose.

Our wings are not tired.

Awww, I’m sure that improved her Monday considerably.

Woot for SF visit! Woot for canceled meetings!

It’s just a normal Monday here. Saw sibs over the weekend which was nice. SIL and others visiting from NY so I’ll likely see them later. Feel almost social.

Roll up puzzle map seems handy.

That is sweet, Hec. I hope her day has improved.

Nice, Tom! Man, I haven't been to California since I was fourteen, and it was just that one visit (to see a good friend who had moved out to Berkley with her family). Loved it, though.

I did manage to go to the drug store. Now I have to work. For real. I've had lunch. It's time.

I just booked a trip to San Francisco!

Woo hoo!!

Thrive to spite them

Yay for bonus day off and SF trips.

2022 can go fuck off. I'm over this year. There is more drama over my late cousin. I forgot that he has another child. Or might. He hadn't had contact with the kid for a long time and there were questions about paternity but no tests were ever done. The child was not mentioned in my cousin's obituary and the mother threatened to go to the memorial and make a scene. So that has been postponed. She also claims she can't afford a DNA test and Mom offered to pay and there was more drama that kept her up all night.

This morning Mom woke up to her other sister calling because that aunt's step daughter's husband died in his sleep last night. He was 62. Her step daughter realized this when she woke up and he was unresponsive. He didn't have any medical issues.

My god, askye. That's way too much. I'm so sorry for all the family trouble.

Punishingly Intricate

If I good get some good vibes at 1 pm board time, that would be rad.

Sending vibes starting now

Lots of vibes.

I'm worried about mom. She said she is depressed more than she has been. I said she needs to see her Dr but also to find a therapist to talk to and help her set healthy boundaries for all of this.

Had my dentist appointment. I broke my bridge. Good news it's under warranty and my dentist assured me that it shouldn't have broken from eating dried cereal.
