I think I'm going to order a Bar Harbor Lobster Bake from Red Lobster for my celebration in lieu of bacon and/or mimosas

Amanda Goreman was awesome. I can see why she was picked.

Our wings are not tired.

My celebratory banana was not bacon, gotta say. Should have planned to have mimosas. I will have to do something more tonight. It could be that the anxiety of waiting for this moment can be blamed for my poor planning.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I only had celebratory bacon because it's been sitting in the fridge for [mumble] days. It was definitely not the result of good planning.

Shortbread also sounds excellent

Can you hunt ducks with fireworks, or is that just fish?

Looney Tunes has led me to believe you can. Although maybe only during rabbit season.

I had celebratory pasta. Now working (it's late evening, but I wasn't focused and have to complete work).

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

I have bubbly in the fridge for after my 6:30 (ugh) work meeting tonight. And celebratory Indian food scheduled for delivery. It was so nice to listen to speeches from people who I didn't want to slap every other sentence. The unity message was nice, as long as we don't forget the justice aspect of things. And Michelle Obama looked amazing!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I have an appt with my ugh physicians asst at 3:45 so no early celebrations for me.

Last night on a Zoom, I had my first glass of wine in a while. Went well.

Still cool with living mostly dry.

I have a headache but did watch a chunk of the inauguration (starting with JLo I think, and through most of his speech). Relief.

Also rescheduled my dentist appointment that I had forgotten about tomorrow, the receptionist said they got their first shots last week and I was like “cool, let’s do this after your second shots?” Just a routine cleaning, and I deliberately went in July thinking “transmission will be worse this winter”, so not fussed about waiting until April. Just glad they weren’t mad I didn’t call before today!

I have almost caught up with my email backlog. So close.
