Some good news this morning: that idiot Madison Cawthorn lost his primary.

He worked hard for that loss.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the NY redistricting

I'm not very happy about how my new district is shaping up.

Cawthorn really did work hard to have pretty much every Republican hate him. I'm glad he's out.

Flea that sounds like a lot going on..

Happy Belated anniversary and Birthdays!

So Friday I have my FCE , which is the Functional Capacity Evaluation I need to return to work. I'll go to the PT place (not the one I've been going to but another) and it will be 4 hours. And then they send the results to the neurologist and we go from there about returning to work. She said I was to return to work 2 weeks after the FCE so .. probably first week of June I'll be back at work part time. I'm a little nervous but I really want some better routine and structure and feel like I have some of my old life back.

I'm supposed to start back to work at 3 hours a day/3 days a week, unless there is something that changes with the FCE. So I'll be easing into things.

I was going to say I'm going to miss spending so much time with E, but he gets out of school on the 10th (I think) comes down for his summer camp that starts on Sunday or Monday and then he also has: a trip to Italy and Boy Scout Camp this summer.

He joined Boy Scouts recently , someone at the library where he volunteers recommended that he try it and he really likes it. He's been asked to be the Outdoor Ethics Field Guide. And he wants to be an Eagle Scout ( at least right now). OH and he was nominated for Junior National Honor Society.

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

Timelies all!

Tired and stressed, as usual.

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

I went back to work in the office today. All seems ok.

I picked up a 20 pack of N95s today, so that's good.

Anyone bored want to watch my brother's IG live about knitting/crocheting stuff at 4:30 PT. I'm not sure why I care, but I keep wanting there to be 20+ people watching and there rarely are.

Sorry for the stress, Sheryl, and good luck with the assessment and all that, askye.

Hooray for Epic getting released today!!!

Aw, I would watch just to boost the numbers but I will be driving home then.

Good for E, askye!

I did VERY LITTLE work today - I think I spent most of the day getting stuff out of my car and cooking stuff in my new microwave specific dishes (all three meals because I don't mind eating all my meals squished into an 8 hour day and cooking stuff at work was my purpose in getting these (they are our products, so it's product testing, sort of)) but I had two successful meetings so I think it probably looks like a productive day from the outside. Also, wore one of the masks the company provided (fabric with our logo on it) and it's irritating me way more than the fabric masks I bought from eShakti that I generally wear. That little moldable wire over the bridge of the nose makes a difference, I guess. It took me all day to realize that's what this one is missing.
