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.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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 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.

I ended up getting a waterfall of urgent work yesterday afternoon that kept me working until after 8:30 last night. But one of the solutions I turned in prompted the company's owner to say she loved it and call me a genius in writing, so I guess it was worth the extra time on the clock.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Very nice, Matt!
A colleague called me like the minute the inauguration ceremony was over, asking me intense work questions about other people's areas of expertise, and I was just like, "I have no idea! Are you kidding me??" I did not actually say that, but it was basically the upshot. Just send me an email, sheesh.
Congrats on the vaccine availability, Shir! That's incredible!! Even general old people aren't able to sign up for anything yet where I live.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
My dad (the grocery store worker and heart patient) gets his first shot of the vaccine on Monday, which is coincidentally the day after he turns 79.
