Boris Johnson is standing down as the Conservative MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, after he was sanctioned for lying to Parlaiment.
And the hits just keep coming.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Man, with that and the details from the Trump indictment, today's been a pretty good day.

Always Anti-fascist!
As somebody else who's...fairly chill but people don't want to see me get really pissed twice, I can appreciate that you might bring the same energy, Hec. (Except maybe not *totally* the same because people wouldn't boggle like they're getting cussed out by a broken Hummel figurine and want their co-workers to watch. But maybe close.) Glad you're not getting stranded.

Our wings are not tired.
Amused by the following observation -
Pat Robertson is dead, and somewhere out there a dyslexic Twilight fan is crying.

You know the stress is high when I have a telemedicine appointment checking up on your anti-depressants and the doctors shifts gears from, "I think you are in a good place to get handed off back to your GP since you are stable" to "I'm going to raise your dose and I'll talk to you in three weeks"
Sigh.

Sigh indeed, ND. I hope most of the stressors have been resolved long before the 3 weeks are up.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I hope the higher dose helps, ND. And that the actual stuff beating you down lightens up, of course.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Glad you had that appointment, at least, ND. Next let's get you some money in the bank.
Thank Jeebus! Our coordinator finessed it to start your infusion earlier today and keep us on time for our flight out on Sunday.
Oh, phew!
I'm marching with a band at Pride tomorrow, and then I'm going to my church's table, so I'm thinking I'll just wear my church t-shirt the whole time. I figure that's more a important message than just something rainbow-y?

Yes, I like that idea.
