Good plan
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

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

I tried ordering for grocery pickup but literally half my order was "out of stock". I suspect if I go into the grocery store I'll be able to find them though. Oy.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I do feel my bile rise every time they cut to Kavanaugh.
I mentally overlay a thought bubble that says "I like beer" every time I see him.
I couldn't get to sleep until 4ish, then I was awakened by cat puking around 6ish and again by a jackhammer at 8. I did watch all the way up to the Biden family entering the WH but I spent the rest of the afternoon napping to fend off a migraine. I've at least kept it from getting worse. If you see me puttering around the internets late tonight, give me a nudge to go to bed. I suspect tomorrow will have a soundtrack of heavy machinery and back up beeps like today has.

I just got a call from the store I ordered from most recently -- they're calling all the customers who've picked up in the last few days in search of a scanner that went missing in, presumably, one of our trunks. I said I'd check the next time I was down at the car but that my trunk is pretty empty, so I probably would've noticed. Poor person who was last responsible for the scanner.
I ordered from Nando's.

So exhausted y’all, but so glad to be on the other side of this. I’m not even sure how to unclench my shoulders anymore but I’m working on it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I don't think I let my breath all the way out until the Bidens actually walked up the steps and inside the WH and the door closed behind them.

In honor of the occasion I opted to order Greek takeout tonight (the birthplace of democracy, donchaknow!): mixed grill kabobs and Turkish coffee. If the latter had as much caffeine as it seems I may fall asleep sometime around the weekend.

Ugh the store is apparently a shitshow, which is why half my stuff was out—they seem to be renovating or having a huge plumbing issue or something—half the middle of the store floor is plywood and all the aisles are moved and scrunched together so that there’s a few empty ones in the middle, and there’s a ton of stuff in one aisle on clearance...and novody is picking up the line for the grocery pickup. Thumbs down.
