Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The status is NOT quo.
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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Seriously unfortunate cross-post. Hil - that's awful. I wish you peacefulness of heart.

Catching up after a busy as heck day (in person) at the office. Too much to meara, but love & ~ma to all, as needed.
I'm certainly not comfortable being "successful" by not treating people as well as I can.
But I had to comment on that. Thank you, Drew, for saying it. I sometimes feel like too many people are lacking in empathy, compassion, fellow-feeling, just general being a decent person-ness. Thank you for being a good guy in deed as well as word.
