Sheryl, I'm so sorry to hear about Nova. Pets become such a part of the family.
askye, I'm glad your cousin is showing signs of improvement. I hope he gets into a good rehab place. All the guardianship~ma for his son.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

msbelle, I wonder if they were pre-emptively checking mac's citizenship status?
Matt, best of luck to your mom.
I actually went to lunch with my boss today. That was... odd. Nice, but I'd gone a long time without that sort of relationship with a boss, I'm not sure what to do with it. OTOH, "going to lunch" now means finding a takeout place on the street and eating food out of compostable containers on the sidewalk. Not exactly the classic 3-martini lunch!

That's super weird, msbelle, but hopefully he can do it again and work it out??
I had one last friend dinner with friends who are moving to Sacramento, and it sucks. Though it was hilarious going through their fridge, freezer, and pantry, and deciding whether I got something, my other friends got it, or it got tossed. I have some random stuff now.

Thanks everyone.
My condolences about Nova, Sheryl.

I’m sorry about Nova, Sheryl.
Yeah, that sounds a little sketch, msbelle. Hope it’s just one of those HR screwups.

Health~ma to your mom, Matt.
Oh Sheryl, I am so sorry about losing Nova. Please don't feel guilty. She was so loved and knew that.
That is very encouraging news on your cousing, askye. Also, soap operas are my junk food like reality tv is to some others. Total escape from reality.
Sorry about the delay for Mac, msbelle. I know here you often have to show the SS card, which not cool, but it still is done. Just checking citizenship status.
PCP checkup today. He said he wanted me for an hour!! Guess we have lots to discuss.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I wish I had advice on the Amazon thing but I know nothing about hiring processes/policies at the FCs.
Aeryn has taken sleeping in to an extreme lately, coming down to breakfast with less than 10 minutes to spare before she has to log onto school. I finally told her she could come down by 8 or make her own breakfast, and so today she came down at 8:40 (an hour past her last alarm) and fixed herself a plate of breakfast sausage and a giant pile of raisins. I'm not entirely sure who won that round...

Yeah, I'd call that a toss-up. Now I want breakfast sausage.

I’m in the office this week and everything is gearing up for people returning to work, but with not much in place for guidelines.
My boss had me request for all employee COVID info on the intranet to be removed.
Admin leave which had been freely flowing for any COVID testing, exposure, or illness has basically been stopped. But no announcement about that to everyone.
Mask mandates are done, but they are not sharing how many employees have been vaccinated (and they have access to that data).

Intriguing combination! I think the winner there is Bowel Movement.
I'm letting Matilda sleep in until 11:30 today. But I've gotten her to reluctantly commit to doing a morning run with her friend Iris on Friday.
