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

Good for you, askye. That can’t have been easy.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Good for you askye.

So delighted for the Zmayhem! Um, about the house, not the Covid. It’s a wonderful house, and after fighting so hard to keep SF home I’m glad to see you getting something with so much character, and that will open up options for Emmett and Matilda.

Sleep study achieved. Results in a week.

Now that I'm home, bacon reward.

Our wings are not tired.

Mmmm, bacon!

Well done, askye. People around me aren't allowed to mistreat me and for the most part they know that or figure it out immediately. People around me mistreating each other makes me very anxious so I usually have to remove myself.

Looks like Judi will be released to rehab today. Her mobility and oxygen level isn't good enough to go home. Assuming the release I'll go back home and come back when she goes home to help with the transition. My brother can do fine with Rehab visits and fetching her stuff from her house and cat feeding.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

So many hugs to people. Sj and Steph, I am so sorry for your losses.

Askye, as hard as it is, you deserve to make yourself and happiness a priority.

Left work last night to a completely flat tire. Called roadside assistance and now have the donut spare on.

Today is wfh day and the garage door is getting fixed. Shockingly I have zero motivation to do actual work.

So, I’m choosing a low brain activity (actually two) that need to get done and I’m allowing myself to watch movies while doing them.

Good plan, msbelle.

Glad you can go home for now and Judi can get help from your bro, Laura.

Good call, msbelle.

I have approximately one million meetings today. OK, three. But it feels like a lot. My team has been assigned to run a new monthly meeting (each of us runs one, is the idea) starting this week and it went from being 1:1 with the demand planner to being attended by the new Planning Director and the VP of Supply Chain Operations and it is stressing me out.

Excellent plan, msbelle. May the day progress smoothly.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm propped up in bed with a laptop wearing the robe I got for xmas (Emmett: "It looks like the kind of robe that's hanging up on the back door of at a room at somebody's Tahoe lodge, and the dad just leaves it there and it's the Dad Robe." It's a blue plaid).

Sore throat is a bit more sore but no trouble swallowing. It's manifesting in head and throat mostly, with lotsa snot.

I indulged myself by renting The French Dispatch and watching it on the laptop last night.

JZ and Matilda have to take the Guinea pigs in for their vet appointment. They have worrisome lumps.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Sore throat is a bit more sore but no trouble swallowing. It's manifesting in head and throat mostly, with lotsa snot.

I know this is anecdotal, but everyone I know who's gotten Omicron (including Tim and me) had the buckets of snot for a few to a several days, a minor sore throat, and headaches. No respiratory involvement, which is actually fantastic. It seems to be pretty easy to ride out, as long as you have a ton of kleenex.
