Calli, tons of ~ma for you.
I’m home now. TCG just took ltc to karate and I’m going to take a nap.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
~ma for you, Call.

My HR apparently for no reason made the last day for FSA reimbursement purposes 30dec instead of 31dec. Meanwhile I spent the $700 left in my FSA account on random crap on 31dec to not lose that money. Wtf. All the communications from the FSA people said 31dec. Who stops at 30dec?!? I had to open an HR case thing to see if they can change that and really am hoping that they can and that if not I can return the stuff (but then I’ll still be pissed because the FSA vendor will keep my $700!)
Because I was pissed, I also opened up an HR inquiry in the system asking when they intend to comply with the California and Washington laws regarding salary transparency (they have not been putting salary ranges in job postings yet). I’m sure they’ll say they’re looking into it or some shit, but I felt petty.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Thank you, Grandma Lois, for watching over your weird grandson. Power was restored here at 4:57, just under 24 hours after it went out.
I am safe and sound, and I thank you all for your good wishes and thoughts.
Now let's see if it holds up through the next wave.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I feel like I should tell Sophia that, for dinner tonight, I made an attempt at cabbage stuffed with filling that I'd layer in a lasagna. It was delicious.
I am glad you liked it!
I am glad your power is restored Karl.
Much ~ma to all who need it.

Much ~ma to Erica's mom and to Calli! So glad you got your power back, Karl. And yikes, meara. How annoying. I'm glad you are making them comply with the law. I don't think that's petty at all.
On my end, just here tonight to say thank you, everyone, for creating this place. Today is ND and my 13th wedding anniversary, and that never would have happened without you.

Happy anniversary! A joyful memory for this place.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Thanks for the ~ma, y'all!
And foot~ma to erikaj's mom.
I'm going to go to my first in-person birthday party this afternoon. A friend's turning 70 and having a celebration. It's starting at 3:30 on a weekday, so it's pretty clear that she thinks her friends are all retired. That's not entirely true, but I'll catch the last hour or so. Honestly, I wasn't that comfortable at parties with mostly strangers before the pandemic, so having some time restraints works for me.
