Man, it’s 10:49 pm in Colorado, but my body is on Eastern time, so it feels like 12:49 am, AND YET I can’t fucking fall asleep. I got out of bed and I’m downstairs curled up under a fleece-y throw on the couch, waiting for sleepy meds to kick in. Insomnia is a jerk.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
FIngers crossed, Pix!
I hope you got some sleep, Tep

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Okay, I've got almost all my paperwork together. Need to wake Matilda up to finish one form.
Then we have to hit FedEx to copy a few more things then we're off to Sausalito Post Office to have an Official Passport Officer give the approval.
Then we drive back across the GG Bridge and drop the other paperwork off at Passport Depot (the expeditors).
Maybe hit Target on the way home and then I will have finished the last hoops in this Steeplechase of a week.
Wish me smooth bureaucracy!

Holy wow. Just talked to my work-assigned mentee through our gay group at work. She’s like, 23 and we’ve only talked a couple times before. Apparently since we last talked, her cousin peaced out on her kids, and the mentee has taken them in—triplet 15 year old girls. Wow. I can’t even imagine. I mean, easier than triplet two year olds or something, but still!!

Holy shit! Good on your mentee, though!

Holy crap! I hope she has an awesome family and friends support network -- that is amazing of her, and a freaking LOT to take on. Wow.

OMG, Meara. My pills are starting to work, I think. Not great at 4 am, though.

Woke up with an excruciatingly sore throat with white patches, along with congestion, but like congestion in my throat/chest, not my head. I am therefore enjoying Colorado’s finest Urgent Care. Well, the waiting room of Colorado’s finest Urgent Care. Bah.

Oh, Steph, that's the pits! Hope whatever it is resolves quickly and you get good drugs to help it happen, but that timing is crap.

Our wings are not tired.
Beaurocrazy~ma, Hec.
Wow, meara, that is some serious stepping up. My cousin had triplets and that is a bunch 15-year-old hormones!
Yikes, Teppy. I hope they fix you up. Horrible timing throat!
My sister finally tested negative today after 12 days. Mine was only 5 days. Covid be weird.
