Well, Charles the First got his head cut off during the English Civil War; Charles the Second spent a lot of time in exile until the Restoration . . . it's not the name I would have picked.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

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.

Those seem kind of memorable. Not periods I've actually studied, though.
Hoping for third time lucky, perhaps?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm having my hand surgery on Monday. I still don't know what time it'll be -- they'll call me tomorrow to tell me that.
Also, I was looking at the local theatre season, and I saw that Cincinnati Playhouse is having an "immersive" murder mystery play in a corn maze, which might be the most Ohio thing I've ever seen, and I think I have to go to it.

I hope the surgery goes well, Hil.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I did get my booster last night and feel fine today, which is good because I forgot to plan to WFH! I also got a flu shot, so it was one in each arm. There's got to be an "ambivalent" joke here, but I can't find it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
amyp, I agree about the name. If you’re not trying to abolish the monarchy maybe don’t pick a name that reminds people of when the country tried to violently abolish the monarchy.

Back to back to back webex mtgs this morning. DO NOT LIKE.
First meeting has been mostly stuff I can ignore. Could have all been a handout.
I got the close out reconciliation for mac’s apartment and now I get to call them to get on a payment plan.
So happy today is Friday. I need to go to bed early tonight.

Our wings are not tired.
So the fever was up to 101.3 this morning and I tested again since it was negative 2 days ago. Yep, positive this morning. Really mad at myself for succumbing to the need to socialize. I knew the bar was too crowded. I've been so careful the last couple years. So annoyed. Basically stayed in bed yesterday, probably do the same today. I have a call into the health center to get drugs. My sister said she would go get them.

Hil, I hope you get your surgery schedule in time to make arrangements for your classes on Monday. And that the surgery goes well, of course.
I can't get into my ERP at work again so I am filling in the "fun" survey that wants to know, for example, my favorite snack, I am drawing a complete blank. I like snacks in general, but what might my favorite be? I have no idea. It's a required question.

Cheezy Poofs? TJ's peanut butter cups? Tim's Cascade Salt & Vinegar Chips? Fruit Leather?
