Oh, I’m sorry msbelle.

My car is also way overdue for maintenance but I’m going to continue to defer it a little while longer.

I lost power briefly over the weekend and I guess that was enough to piss off my router but I didn’t notice that until I tried to log into work this morning. Apparently, resetting this router requires logging into my Xfinity account which I was able to do on an app on my phone eventually but it strikes me that needing the internet to fix my access to the internet is not a great design. Anyway, have been desultorily half working ever since.

Oh msbelle, I'm sorry to hear that.

sorry about the dog, msbelle.

I’m sorry about Miley, msbelle.

Hello all! David and Laura pinged me in the last couple of weeks because I super disappeared. I kind of got nothing, but I am saying hi! Work is terrible. I am having major peri-menopause issues. My mom had a kidney stone, and now some aneurysms. I also have to do my self eval, and I just want to put myself on a PIP.

I am so sorry about little dog,Miley.

but I am saying hi!

Hi, Sophia! I'm glad you came around. I've been missing you. Sorry things are shitty.

I'm very sorry about Miley, msbelle.

I've been there and had that same thought. Used to depend on having JZ fix things from her work computer, but when she started working at home we had to figure out how to do it with phones which was not ideal.

I am having major peri-menopause issues.

I don't think mine are major, but I do feel like they are getting worse. I keep trying to explain to my husband that we cannot rely on my short-term memory at the moment, but I used to have a really good memory, and I don't think he understands exactly how quickly information flies out of my brain at the moment.

Also it’s become clear that it is time to let my little dog Miley go.

I'm sorry, msbelle. It is such a tough decision to have to make, even when you know it is right.

Thank you for checking in, Sophia! I'm sorry that life is overwhelming. Sending love.

We have a cold front! It was only 62 when I went to the dog park this morning. All the usual gang in sweatpants and jackets. The dogs didn't care.

Speaking of weather, are our left-coast Buffistas okay with the various storms? And all the other geographically located peeps! Weather be whack all over. I'm grateful that we haven't had our typical draught/fire season, but having severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings is a new one in the winter for us.

I ordered some Go Taylor Swift’s boyfriend shirts for the Superb Owl for ltc and Stitch from a local mom and when I picked them up I ended up talking to her for a half hour. We’re going to make plans to get together. So, maybe I haven’t completely forgotten how to make friends?
