I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My work day has been argh.

same same. Technical issues with the just launched vaccination registration website. My point person was incommunicado today.

No approved FAQ, so I am winging answers.

I hope you’ve got IRL folks you can rant and rave with Cash.

My work is a little crazy but I’m on vacation Thirs/Fri and fully expect when I come back Monday some sort of crazy drama will have happened. Oh well.

What is even happening?

Cashmere, I'm glad to see you checking in here.

I’m taking out my anger in very subtle ways. I just bought my nephew a wooden katana practice sword.

Excellent! Don't forget drums exist. Also, you can get bagpipes on Amazon. [link]

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Though depending on how tall said nephew is, a full stand of pipes may be unwieldy. Kazoos, on the other hand, are very portable and easier to conceal.

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

Why am I hearing that like it’s a quote from Bull Durham?

Ha! That movie has sunk into my subconscious and affects my phrasing.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I've been off doing a bunch of vision and medical adulting. I have a new pair of computer glasses because I'm an old, but not yet an old who requires bifocals. I also joined a walking competition at work to give me external motivation although I'm annoyed that it actually works on me. One thing I still need to do is find a psych if I want to get evaluated for ADHD, so I may as well make some notes about what my insurance plan offers on that when I do open enrollment.

Oh, god, open enrollment. That was mentioned in one of my meetings today and I immediately forgot about it! Probably I will make no changes but I do have to remember to look at what’s available

Our wings are not tired.

Being old I am really hoping this bill gets passed and glasses and dental get included in Medicare. That'd be super cool. I hear fine, but what a wonderful thing for the elderly to get hearing aids too. Those things are super costly.
