more than $100 seems like way too much to me but I am not a parent
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I love a nice round number for gifts and think $100 is a generous (and appropriate) amount for the gift.

Agree with the above as $100 is a nice round generous number.
Why Monday? Oh well, I did actually have a weekend for a change so I'll deal.
My big plan for today is to go get my ears re-pierced. I let them close up by being lazy about wearing earrings but miss them. I am just a chicken, but have to remind myself that I have done it before. My first set I did myself when I was around 12.

Go Laura! I have let several ear piercings grow in (I used to have many in each ear and now only have 1) and it’s a little sad to me. But not sad enough that I’m doing anything about it.
Also sad: it’s Monday and I’m exhausted and I got up for a 730am call that was then canceled.

I was just going to go to Claire's but they seem to have a terrible reputation so I am going to a tattoo/piercing joint nearby that seems to have a great reputation.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Oh god, yeah, definitely go to a place that specializes in piercings. Claire's (or anything similar) is awful.

The tattoo place I took my mom to for her extra ear piercings was great, highly recommend that approach. Mom was a little dubious before we went, but they were super nice
My 9 am meeting got canceled which was a relief and I checked my email early in hopes that it would be so I didn't start early (not that 9 am is an early start, but I have a standing 11am meeting that typically takes me all morning to prepare for so I would have needed extra time if I was in another meeting before it). It got cancelled because a coworker has COVID, which is a bummer, but I was still relieved to not have to start work early.

not that 9 am is an early start,
YES IT IS!!! Normalize other cicadian cycles and allow late starts and late finishes. This concept that "early" means productive is a fallacy and counterproductive for night owls.

Ha, I meant not early for me, my normal day starts at 8:30 am. Just trying to clarify that the meeting wasn't scheduled outside my normal working hours but it would have required my usual work to be done earlier. But it was cancelled, so none of that had to happen!
