Good to hear Matilda is making the most of HS life. I hope they have a nice safe year. They have a MUCH better chance of that in your school district than the ones in Florida. They are having a predictably horrible show of it so far.

Sounds like Matilda is really doing great.

I'm kinda hungry, but I think its best to wait until my wife is out of the house to get some lunch. I already screwed up and made her angry because she went to the store and asked me what I wanted to get for dinner and I couldn't think of anything. It's really hard for me to switch from work and respond without making a mistake. I think she wanted me to grill something for dinner and I didn't pick up that I needed to respond by suggested something to grill. Sometimes I'm just stupid.

Not stupid, what is stupid is getting angry at someone for something so entirely insignificant in this life.

I have to plan my meals for a week because it is more than my brain wants to deal with after working all day to make a decision on what to eat. Then I either get curbside pickup or send Brendon to get groceries because I hate to shop. Cooking I enjoy. Deciding what to eat is a real chore for me.

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

That doesn't sound like a Gud screw up, that just sounds like a thing that happened.

I am so fed up with work today. This re-org has been in transition for so long that I have passed through all the stages to acceptance and circled back to anger

Gud, I too, have difficulty when asked out of the blue what I need from the grocery. (I also set a rule that if you don't put it on the list, then you can't complain about not getting it when I go. Telling me doesn't count! Hi, swiss cheese brain!) If your wife wanted you to grill something, she could have easily said so instead of believing you could read her mind and then getting huffy because you couldn't. Really, I can't see anything you did WRONG. She didn't get the answer she wanted because she didn't ask the question she actually wanted answered!

Anyway, random: Does anyone know anyone at Hopkins SAIS? or who was there fairly recently? I would like gossip.

Yes, if it were not for my lists I would be incapacitated completely.

Now a reasonable scenario would be, "hey dear, how 'bout you cook burgers on the grill tonight? I'm going to the store now; would you like me to pick some up?".

Gud, you will never be able to do the magical correct thing to make her happy. Even if you get the "right" answer, she'll just keep moving the goal posts. It's always a trap.

Hello peoples - I am 25% done with radiation treatment. So far no side effects that I can perceive.

I’ve been able to get rides to the cancer center but haven’t worked out the whole 20 days yet.

Apparently the medical officials in Japan have come out in favor of ivermectin.

Okay, this school gets a gold star! A Texas school district is pushing back on Gov. Greg Abbott's mask mandate ban by making face masks a part of its dress code. Loopholes for the win.

Hi, sumi! It's good to hear the treatment is going well. I hope you are able to work out the rides. The center may have assistance for that too.

Also, What Dana Said.
