You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Who got to him and what do they have on him?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Guess the wind is blowing hard enough for him to know which way it's going

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's a much better metaphor

Ugh. Had a headache earlier, took meds, felt better...or so I thought. Suddenly lunch super disagreed with me and I was lying on the bathroom floor and can barely get up. Hoping this is just extra wicked migraine and not anything else! Ugh.

{{{meara}}} here to be hoping for migraine, but I certainly hope it’s nothing worse!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Who got to him and what do they have on him?

He’s been depressingly good at making the Senate do his bidding. Might as well use the power for good in the last seconds of his Majority Leadership.

Ugh, Meara, I hope you're feeling better soon.

I got my second shingles vaccination shot yesterday, and I think the only side effects for me are a slight, slight soreness at injection site, super mild headache later in the day today (I am lucky not to get them anymore... ever since womb and ovaries came out), and perhaps the four hour nap I took, which is unusual, though that's about how long I was unaccountably awake last night. Anyway, all shingles-protected up.

My Junk Room is now officially a messy office as the desk is out of the closet with monitor, etc. set up. Very exciting. And I had pancakes for dinner.
