I've got 5¼ hours of meetings today.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That is a lot of meetings. One might venture to say too much.

Our wings are not tired.
May Todd be having a much better day today! Sheryl too!
Busy day. I'm having a cyst removed from my arm at 11:30 this morning. Ick, I am such a baby. Just hoping I don't barf. Then I need to go fetch my held mail from the post office. We've decided to forward the business mail to my sister, my bookkeeper, and the personal stuff to my MIL. I changed my license and voting to MIL's address too. DH is at the marina while they do all the inspection stuff. I hope that calms him down. He remains in freak out mode over the price. Trying to think this too shall pass thoughts.

Yikes, very scary regarding Toddson. Glad to hear she's being well taken care of!
Fingers crossed your case of Covid is light on symptoms, Sheryl!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I've got 5¼ hours of meetings today.
That's abusive!
I'm off to run in light rain, and then I am taking Emmett & Kalena (hereinafter E&K) to breakfast at the Blue Danube cafe. It is my intent to make regular stops there with them and slowly work our way through the entire, extensive menu.
After that I'll take them grocery shopping, showing them my places, and then Emmett will join me as we head off to the furniture store to pick up our new Loveseat, then to the warehouse to pick up our new rug: [link]
So we're going to have a Loveseat and a Settee in the Vivian and Lily Charles Drinking Parlor: [link]

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Hec, I adore the rug. Will the furniture be in that shade of blue?
It's good to hear that Toddson is being well looked after.
Sheryl, I'm so sorry about your catching the plague. May it go easily.
Laura, he was due a freak-out, it will pass. Hoping the surgery was a non-event!
Tom, that is officially too many meetings.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
refrigerator repair is here. lots of ice behind the panel at the back of the freezer. He's hoping it is just frozen up due to a broken fan or something.
CROSS FINGERS.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
5 1/2 hours of meetings sounds about average for me. Today I only have 4 hours and it feels great! Except I've been out for three days so all of my non-meeting time is spent catching up.
Update on this stupid class I hate - there are two mini-papers due in addition to the big final paper. On the first one, I tried to reference as many of the readings as possible, use quotes to make connections, and apply some critical reasoning. That paper earned me a D+. (With no feedback given as to how what I'd submitted missed the mark.) (And, like, whatever, it's barely worth anything as a percentage of the total grade for the class.) (But still. WHAT THE FUCK.)
For the second one, I decided fuck it, I'm not investing more energy than I need to for this, and turned in what I thought was 3 pages of word vomit/ranting with a handful of obligatory references to the readings just for kicks. 10/10, A, feedback that this was "superb writing" and that he hopes I bring this level of "wit and candor" to the final paper. So I guess that takes some of the pressure off for the final, but again I have to ask WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING FUCK is going on with this class and why do I have to put up with it.
