I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I hope urgent care was able to give you some relief, Tom!

Do they at least post it on a website or text you?

It's a random mix - I get emails, my husband gets texts and calls. Sometimes I also get texts! And they update FB/Twitter. Anyway, they did cancel school last night so nobody had to wait for a 5am call. Victory!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I have skipped and skimmed so much, so much love to those who want it, high fives and hugs all around.

I have been reading a lot lately on how high-masking smart neurodivergent women just FALL THE FUCK APART during perimenopause because all of the coping mechanisms we've been using since puberty were built on a foundation of mostly reliable hormone levels, which, as it turns out, were pretty important for day-to-day functioning.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yes. Very much so.

I get the phone calls and texts. Sometimes the phone calls come in at 5:30 AM when they don't make the decision the night before, which is fun times.

We finally have some actual snow to justify the day off, though not much by our standards. ltc has been watching Gravity Falls and talking a mile a minute next to me while I try to work on household budget stuff. This afternoon we're going to make a cake from a Christmas box mix that we never got around to making a Christmas. TCG works until 7 today, and then as an after work meeting, which they can do virtually even if the snow gets bad. So, it's going to be a loooooong day here.

Woohoo! Hell yeah, Susan.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I keep a news radio station on - it lets me know what's closed or open, what roads/traffic is like and, most importantly for me, what the weather's like. This morning, it was pouring down rain and cold, so I could get out my boots and warm coat and umbrella. Nothing in town was closed (blast!), so I had to get ready for nasty weather and haul myself into work.
