Hey Tom! Good to hear from you. I've been wondering how the move was affecting you.
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

Alex turns 19 today! I know he was legally an adult last year, but 19 sounds extra-really-truly adult somehow.

I had so many thoughts simultaneously that I couldn't process any one of them.

I’ve missed you guys.
I'm glad you poked your head in and yay for meds that are helping.
I don't know if there is enough coffee in the world to satisfy me today
Hard same.

Ay, ay, ay, flea. All the real estate~ma your way.
In so sorry that doctor was such a dick, askye. Jesus.
Good finagling, Brendan! I hope both positions get filled as he suggests.
I saw good news on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race - thought of Cash and her recent post and am glad that, as exhausting as the fight is, you won this one for Wisconsin.
Tommy, so good to hear that new meds are helping and do good t to see your pixels.
Susan, that can't be right. Check your math, please. Nineteen? What?
Sitting on my porch. Second week of travel done, and that's it for a while. Good meetings, both, but I am happy to be staying local for the foreseeable future.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My work experience was pretty bad for awhile. I had two jobs that were contract to hire that I never got hired permanently. I was unemployed with no unemployment insurance for 8 months.
I started my current job Nov. of 2021 under a contract to hire. I was made permanent a year ago. So I have PTO and matching retirement contributions again for the first time since 2017. Plus I purchased a Comfy Car for road trips.

tommyrot, good to see you here. I've also been working on getting some depression under control. You have my empathy.

Road trip! Where you going? Have you seen Poker Face? You could do that tour.

Indeed, both good things, tommyrot!
ND, ~ma to you in dealing with that, too.
