Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

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

I don’t know, I might get laid off and not have to go in.

I finished work and lay down to think about what I want to do about dinner and remembered I had not filed my taxes yet. So I fired up the H&R Block app on my phone to see how far I could get without needing to actually sit up and turn on a laptop and actually did it all! What a world.

Happy Birthday ND!

I found out yesterday that 2-hour work meetings are much less onerous if you can pet your boss' highly affectionate labrador retriever throughout.

Happy birthday ND!

I got lazy and didn’t go to the store last night and now I am lying in bed remembering I do not have milk for my coffee. Sigh.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

This whole working for a living thing does not spark joy.

So much this. Really really want to retire.

Glad the report was good, dcp

Happiest of Days to ND.

Happy birthday, ND!

I had mentally prepared myself to not go running this morning, but it's so sunny out now I have to reassess.

But that might just be the Onerous Task Avoidance talking.

Speaking of onerous tasks, I just got my colonoscopy scheduled for May 6!

Go Tom! I did manage to finally do an send in the at home test a few days ago, so should know in a couple weeks if I also have to do one.

David, go run! Then when there’s a bad weather day you can say “well I did that run on the nice day so I can sit this out”
