My condolences, tommyrot.
I just booked my first vacation out of town in over a year and a half. Here's hoping Mom feels well enough to go when the time rolls around.

Yay booking vacation! I need to do some of that.
More bad news: my garbage disposal is leaking from the bottom. Which YouTube tells me means a seal failed and water is flowing through the motor and it needs to be replaced. Boooooooo

I'm thinking I should start playing the violin, guitar, or bass guitar again. It's a good stress reducer and now I have the time.
You must! You need to rock.

It's good to see you, Tommyrot, and I'm sorry that March was so awful.
IV fluids man. IV fluids. Yes, I can add electrolytes to water and take vitamins, but IV fluids when I had the death migraine were THE BEST. (Plus my under eye bags/circles vanished .) I know there are services that will come to your house and administer them, but I don't want to pay $300 a pop.

IME, garbage disposals are pretty easy to replace.
A fair amount has happened of late. TCBITW is engaged so there's that. I've been moved to what they call the architecture team at work which is a promotion of sorts. And we got an Instant Pot. I'm not saying all these things are of equal importance.

OMGWTFPOLARBEAR?! Please tell her congrats from a random internet person.

Yay promotion Gud, and awww how is she old enough to not need a parent’s permission or a judge to get married?!?!
I did look online and they do seem to be not too hard to replace but knowing me I’d screw it up and it would take three times as long. So, figure I’ll also have them look at the hose thing outside that leaks when I turn it on, while they’re here.

Wow! Congratulations and best wishes, but I am still side-eye-ing the passage of time

We got new official/standard email .sigs at work. They are huge. I guess I will get used to that.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

AN INSTANT POT?!?!?!?!?!
Seriously though, congratulations on TCBITW's engagement and your promotion!
