Actually, in the Georgia case, I believe it's guilty plea #4 - the first was the bail bondsman. But it's now #3 for the lawyers (mine is an evil laugh)
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

David, might some Benadryl OINTMENT give you some relief? I've found it works well for mosquito and other bug bites as well as any allergy-related irritation (I'm suggesting the ointment on the theory it won't interact as badly with anything else)

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Things that are apparently really helpful during a war, when your government is a fading simulacra of what a government should be: a zoom meeting of reading yoga scripts and their interpretations. Not even kidding, something in me really needed that.
Also, happy birthday, Kate!

Always Anti-fascist!
Maybe a different simulation, but I feel like I know how that feels, shir. Happy birthday, Kate. Still sick of my life, but it feels a little better that my stomach doesn't hurt.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The latest Republican nominee for House Speaker dropped out 4 hours after he won the secret ballot.

Just listening to news on the radio and they were conjecturing that the reason there were 9 male speaker candidates was that the women were too smart to want that job. Now I have seen the female GOP house representatives and I haven't seen a whole lot of brains there so I don't think that is the reason. Who knows, maybe Marjorie Taylor Green will toss her hat in tomorrow.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone! I always take the day off work for my birthday, so I've spent the whole day relaxing, reading, napping, going for a walk, and talking to my brother. An excellent day so far!

Sounds perfect, Kate! Good to hear.
Back from the library dealio. The regional NPR guy did a reading of The Raven and was dressed in period duds. It was nice. I didn't win any of the raffles. Oh well.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy birthday Kate!
I am just so tired of all this. I’m tired of not having a stove, not having privacy, Mr. S having awful nights.(I’m in the lobby yet again because I’m too frustrated with his antics, which I know isn’t fair to Gary)

How much longer before you can get back home, Sheryl?
