I forced myself to get up early and get more allergy meds. Tater tots are in the oven as my potato reward, but I'm also eating a salad because I want to convince the cornered animal that is my body to unclench. And apparently my reasoning is, "Would someone in a crisis stop to make a salad?" *slaps salad bowl* "This bad boy can fit so many vegetables in it."
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Quiet day.
Good/Bad new on the basketball front. DH had already opted out of coaching this year and was only videotaping the games for upload to MaxPreps and statistical analysis. Games have been dropped left and right from other schools being quarantined. Now his school is under quarantine because the head coach's son is positive. Coach has like 5 kids, plus all the team, etc. Yeah, and one of the other school coaches came up top to talk to DH last game and was giving him a hard time about his distancing and mask 'paranoia'. Yeah, then today they all get the email with all caps, wear your masks. Grumble. Anyway, the good news is probably done for the season now as I wouldn't be surprised if they canceled the playoff and championship series too. Bad news is who knows how many vulnerable people have been exposed, and I do feel bad for the seniors who will have a harder time getting scholarships.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My co-worker who had secondary exposure to COVID19 tested negative and was back in the lab today.

Holy wow, I just realized I can start listening to the news again! And by “news” I mean Wait Wait and Last Week Tonight, I won’t hear actual news unless I drive somewhere, but that’s more than I’ve been able to bear for a while

I watched Press Briefings - 2 days in a row! It is so normal. I like normal more than ever.

Centered in the background carpet of red-bordered blue, her brilliant red headpiece and daffodil-sunshine-full of hope yellow coat, the visual was perfect.
Yes 100 times! (Also I may have pre-ordered her book yesterday)
My son was raging about people talking about the outfits at Inauguration all over his socials: @#$#MORE IMPORTANT !@#*^ POLICIES )(*%%^
Me: Yeah but Michelle Obama
M: Okay she 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.
Cass, how are you feeling?
Honestly really good.
I think the hyponatremia (low sodium and also, for me, low potassium at least for a while) was the issue.
So I eat lots of mini meals and I don't watch my salt intake at all.
I've felt great for last couple weeks. I can't go back to work yet but I wish I could.

Cass, that is great to hear! I'm glad you're feeling so much better.

Very glad to hear that, Cass!

That’s great, Cass!
Work has ramped up a fair bit for me—the start of the semester plus procrastinating instructors. But it’s engaging work, at least.
