All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Our wings are not tired.

All the vaxes. Skinner got his Lyme and kennel cough a couple days ago. The vet tech told me the best way to keep the dog's nails trimmed. He takes his to the tennis court and tosses balls frequently and running on the hard surface keeps the nails trimmed.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

Honestly? When I was young and kind of outside, imagining the Working World and all? I never thought it would be so much like a feuding family trying to paper over its flaws for the public.

We're safely tucked into our hotel in Pasadena.

The lobby has a Foosball table! Woot!

Matilda and I are about to go out to dinner.

College tours tomorrow.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I am so sick. I really think I’ll need to see the doctor tomorrow. For now I’m hoping 12 hours of sleep in my own bed will help somewhat.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Feel better, Steph!

Several of my students were clearly sick in class today, and one of my colleagues was out for the past week with Covid.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Health~ma, Steph (and Hil). Safe travels Hec. Arm~ma to just about everyone else, looks like. I’m glad we’re all getting vaxxed. Glad your Tuesday was better, msbelle—mine was, too.

My employer has been pretty good about remote work. I think it’s because physical office space is at a premium there. They have more people working for them than they can seat. And while they’ve bought up a lot of property in town to try and alleviate that, it’s still a very hot market here, so they can make more money renting it out rather than have us working in it. All of which leads to me working barefoot, with a cat on my lap, 95% of the time.
