More coffee!
Also, well done on the email clearing! Woot! Almost all painkillers leave me violently ill, so I'll remain a pothead and/or wino. Side effect of the GLP-1 is I don't really enjoy wine anymore. Sad, but probably healthier for me.
Maybe I've always been here.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Happy birthday, Tep! I will magnanimously allow you to make any claims you like about the joys of clearing emails today.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPH

Happy, Happy Birthday, Steph! Many happy confetti and cake-filled returns of the day, and all good wishes for the coming year.

Got caught up writing a long e-mail(party like it's 1999) and forgot to wish Tep happy birthday. Hope it's a good one, tep!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I’ve been missing in action due to starting my new job on the exact same day as my sister went in for a knee replacement. The job seems good so far and my sister came through the surgery fine and is home. Her husband is doing a lot of the home care, but he cannot cook, so that’s where I step in. My nephew also got a job last week after 18 months unemployed and is already out of town at a conference, so I’m also helping my niece in law with kid herding. This time last week I had no commitments to speak of, and now I’m booked from 8–8.
Which is why I’m offering belated happy birthdays to the buffistae I missed, and {{{Karl}}}.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Happy (belated) Birthday, Steph!
