There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Happy Birthday, erika!

I slept a lot, but I'm still really sick. Going to a Kroger Little Clinic in a couple of hours.

Hope they're able to help, Steph.

Happy Birthday, Erika!

Even if this is a virus that antibiotics won't help, I just want something to make my throat stop hurting so much.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Feel better, Steph.

I'm glad that the big company that bought us already had a strong culture of working remotely and hybrid. For one thing, we probably wouldn't be getting out of Texas the way we are.

And in house news, today they're breaking ground on our new house in Virginia! Estimate to complete it is 5 months, which I'm sure means at least 6.
