stealing wi-fi from the hospital across the street. (Forever known as: The Hospital Where Meara Went After She Tripped Over That Dog.)

Hey, I have vague unpleasant memories from that hospital!! I do not recommend their ER.

I hope that your technological woes get sorted soon.

It keeps raining hard here, which I do not appreciate. But I can finally leave my house and see humans today, yay free from COVID prison! (But first, a full day of work, boo)

Woe to the fucking wicked.

We've had hecking issues with tech and appliances, too. Had to replace the washing machine, and then replace the dryer belt 2 days later. The Google TV decided that the only proper aspect ratio was "ridiculously wide-screen" (possibly fixed?), and it won't stop raining long enough for the grass to dry enough to mow

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Something is retrograde.

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

Maybe many somethings in retrograde. But other things ascendent, considering the midterms. I don't know how astrology works

What are you talking about? You had free coffee and muffin service delivered to your bedside!

Hahah but that was a special buffista add-on not available to all ER visitors!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Something is retrograde.

Chiron

Heated Rivalry readers (well, The Long Game readers) will know that Chiron can do no wrong. (He’s a dog, it’s a joke, I know you mean astrological stuff.)

(Seriously though, when do we get casting news on Chiron and Anya?)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

(Seriously though, when do we get casting news on Chiron and Anya?)

This is like Nellie in Heartstopper. The dog is load-bearing.
