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

That's very cool, Matt!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, poor David. Hope you stay well, JZ and Matilda!!

I'm annoyed that I have had a little bit of a sore throat for a few days, but apparently it's not covid, so that's nice. But that is what I get for going back out into the world!

I have done 10 peer reviews, and now I am down to my last one, but it is my biggest work frenemy, so I have to decide how much to get into. Nothing I have to say would be a surprise, I'm sure.

Our wings are not tired

David I hope that it is mild and over quickly for you. I hope that JZ and Matilda can dodge it.

I've been very careful but with the amount of travel I've done and the fact that lots of my work puts me into a large gatherings of people I'm a little surprised I have not been hit yet.

Ditto this for me. Also, I took a personal day today to catch up on grading, and while I am FINALLY making progress, I am so filled with donwanna.

I filed my tax return! My federal refund is still going to pay my 2019 tax bill, but I'm getting a not insignificant to me refund from CA, so that's nice.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I am in the middle of a massive product launch and monitoring our social media responses for 2 hours this morning literally almost killed me. It's just exhausting.

You got it!

I do not have opinions, but if I develop any I will keep them to myself

I am taking that as a cue to update, though.

It's rolling out gradually (so our developers and CS team don't die, basically) so if you have auto-updates turned on you should get it pretty soon.

Excited for the house news, especially if you've kept it out of the hands of house-flipping bros!

Not stoked by the news of Hec testing positive for COVID, though.

I have no idea what's going on, but you have my sympathy.
