I'm sorry, msbelle. I hope he gets his act together faster than my eldest.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Amyparker, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Thinking about you and your loved ones.
Also, msbelle, ugh. I don't even know.
And yes, Dcp is, as always, a good egg.

Much health~ma to your father, amyparker.
It has not been an easy year to be a student, and some schools are doing better in accommodating that than others. I hope Mac can find a way to move forward that isn't too onerous for you, msbelle.

Love and good healing vibes coming your and your dad's way, amyparker.
Agree on dcp and good egg-ness.
Such a weird day. It started out with missing half of my bi-weekly call with my sisters, because I just forgot and was asleep, then my friend-boss forgetting about our 10:30a call, then being late for my book club Zoom... because I was finishing this week's reading, tbh... and then all of a sudden it was 3p, and I had the hungries.
I am supposed to start my online meditation learning course today. Perhaps if I had gotten up earlier and started with that, things would've been less... thing-y.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've been wrestling with the notes for a Zoom call yesterday (yes, another one) and I am really struggling. I was late to the call (which annoyed my boss), so I missed the first five minutes, got repeated phone calls during it so I missed out on some of what was said. I've been working through the recording but keep losing track of what people were talking about. And I keep getting phone calls with no one on the line when I answer (I suspect butt-dialing, but can't think how or why there are so many). I keep trying to block the numbers, but they still get through. sigh ... just my rant for the day ....

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Health~ma to your dad, amyparker.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
It's the Jewish holiday of Lag Ba'omer starting tonight, and at a celebration in Israel (at the tomb of the rabbi that this holiday honors), we're seeing news that there was a crowd stampede, with numerous casualties.
I'm kind of numb, and trying to figure out who I need to check in with, and I fucking hate all of this.
