I also vote for no COVID for shrift.
I like ironing too. but I also did it for a job for many years, and I am super fast. I actually prefer steaming as more satisfying, but also, the steamer always spits. I almost carried home an good old fashioned Harvey metal ironing board I saw in the garbage on my walk today, but it was too heavy. Later, I did see someone else had picked it up, so I am glad it has a home.
My Friend Maria’s mother, who is 10 years older than mine, seems to be succumbing to congestive heart failure. I will be sitting with her Thursday afternoons to give them a break, and looking into a home health care aid for Maria. Any thoughts on how to do this? She has mostly been working with the pulmonologist,not the PCP. Maria has medical power of attorney. I just love Maria’s mom, and their family generally lives to over 100, so I didn’t see this coming before my mom. She has been so good to me, even though I am a weird best friend that just became family. I described it to my boss that I am an honorary daughter in law. M was amused that her mom was really happy to have me come, but not one of her actual daughter in laws, who is super annoying. I asked my boss for flex time soI can help as much as possible, because Maria is a classroom teacher, and Philip (her brother who I work with) is hourly, and she was so accepting of our oddball relationship too, so it is nice.
Timelies all!

I’m glad your boss was reasonable about things, Sophia. But I am sorry about your friends’ mom.
The number of dangerously delusional people in the US—many with guns—is terrifying.
I used my nervous energy today to get my filing cabinet ready for 2021 records. Shredding old utility bills is satisfying.
I used mine to move the table out of the closet in the Junk Room, now office-ish, grocery shop, put away the tree and already boxed up decorations (now that there's a place to put it with the table moved; it's a whole domino thing), and get a bunch of donated items into my big ol' outdoor rolly cart (I love this thing!) to trek it down to the car. A productive day really snuck up on me.
Rub some of that productive~ma on me for tomorrow, Jen. I've been useless since Wednesday.
As long as I can figure out a way to transfer the productivity without the nervous energy that's powering it, because nobody needs that.

Snopes has debunked the story about the man who died of a heart attack during the riot.
It looks like the assisted living (residents and staff) will be getting our first vaccination on Friday!
Somehow this means that I'm MORE worried about getting Covid in the next couple days than I was in the previous 9 months. Brain, you are downright weird.
And before you ask, I have inquired and he is not taking in ironing.
You know, my mother has been ironing the tops of her sheets, since she likes to listen to the radio so looks for things to do... It had not occurred to me to ask her to do mine!!

I'd start with googling visiting nurse + your location (and I think you will land at your employer, but am not 100% sure of that!).

Yeah, but not crazy -- my friend the EMT was basically on her way to get her first shot when she found out her work partner had covid.
Has anyone seen this thread? The videos are incredible. The police are literally just standing around. [link]
