I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

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

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.

(If you know where I work and have opinions about this app update...please don't share them.)

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

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

Timelies all!

Health~ma for Hec, JZ and Matilda.

Thrive to spite them

There are things I can't control in my life or that are adjacent to my life. Like how M talks to his mother and the way his mother talks to him.

I have made it clear to both of them tonight that if either one of them EVER talks to me like the way they talk to each other I'm going to stay at Mom's and I'm going cancel/change passwords for everything I pay for. I also told M that we have to make getting our own place a priority. I'm not sure if he really wants to move out and if he's not willing to do that or make our relationship the priority and it comes down to it then I guess I'll be trying to find a room for rent or house share situation here. Honestly that fills me with a lot of anxiety and dread but I'll have to deal with it if that's what it comes to.
