the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

My top 2 were Leonard and Raj from Big Bang Theory, which is not that far off, I suppose. I think it's because I scored "Awkward" at 100%.

Ben Wyatt from Parks and Rec and Chidi from The Good Place weren't too far down the list, either. I am an awkward supernerd.

Steph, I'm so sorry you're dealing with all this. It sounds so terrifying. But you have a plan. Hang onto that.

Best of luck.

I'm emailing with a friend in LA about meeting up somewhere on the central coast in early October for some downtime. Pretty sure I'm gonna push to go to the Madonna Inn. They have a spa, and a hilltop hot tub, and horses, and hiking trails, and a steakhouse. What more could one need?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Apparently my closest match was Charlie from The Perks of Being a Wallflower at 85%. That fits, though he was dealing with a lot more trauma than I ever had to.

Awww, that's a great character.

81% Klaus which is another weight tipping the scale towards WATCH THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY so maybe I'll start that this weekend.

Again, Klaus is Matilda's Woobie.

91% match to both Miranda Hobbes and M. And, really, I can't argue with that.

88% match to Raymond Holt, which just made me laugh.

Our wings are not tired.

Rachel Chu (Crazy Rich Asians): 88% Felicity Smoak (Arrow): 88% Kaylee Frye (Firefly + Serenity): 87% Dr. Ellie Sattler (Jurassic Park): 86% Dr. Claire Browne (The Good Doctor): 86% Belle (Beauty and the Beast): 85% Janet (The Good Place): 84%

That was fun. I like the slider much better than fixed answers.

Hope you are having a calmer day, Teppy. Having a solid plan is good, and having your brother is awesome. Give him a big birthday hug.

My camp is a construction zone. That is nothing new to me. Going bowling later with #1 son and GF. #2 son's 27th birthday is tomorrow but he is in Hilton Head for the weekend with the fam. Otter Lake has its annual community Meet & Greet at the local pub today, but we decided not to attend. Lots of people in a small place. At least 40% are not vaccinated, and those of course will be the unmasked ones. We have managed to stay Covid free despite knowing so many that haven't, and just don't want to blow it now.

Thrive to spite them

I tried the quiz and didn't know most of the tv characters.. I think I did something wrong.

Sending lots of ~ma to you Teppy.

I'm having a day. I didn't sleep well last night but usually I can nap a bit and make it to work, I was sleeping super sound and the timer I had set went off and I just... I felt like I was drugged. I sounded like I was drugged. I called work & the person who answered immediately asked "are you alright?" and I said no, and then because it seemed easier at the time I said I thought I had taken my sleep medicien by accident and she said "yeah, you can't come in, go back to sleep". So I did and I feel... somewhat better but not fully with it.

And then I was eating lunch and realized my tongue scraped against something and a part of an upper molar has broken off. I missed my last dentist appointment (actually 2x because I was rescheduled and missed that) but I have had a cleaning in the past year. I don't really want to go to the dentist but I should get this checked out sooner rather than later.

I'm sure you're shocked that all my answers were still round numbers.

I am so overdue for a dentist appointment. But, ever since my implant, I've used the UCSF dental school as a dentist and I have been lazy about figuring out what their system is now that the student flow has been disrupted.

My birthday present to E turned out meant me buying Minecraft Java Edition so we can play together. He was very patient and amused as I fell to my death a lot and failed miserably at jumping. I need to go practice for next time.

Sounds like you needed the sleep, askye. My 11 yo nephew is quite addicted to Minecraft. My sister (his grandmother) and his mother play with him, but it is not my thing.

I've thought about dentistry as it has been a really long time, but ugh. I used to go to the dental school, but it is an hour each way drive. So between the chore of finding a local dentist and Covid, it just hasn't happened.

I didn't know most of the characters either, but I picked out the top ones I did know.
