Yay, benign!!

When I'm consulting or working on Orlando projects I often have 4am meetings. They like to have a 7am meeting before the construction site gets fully active. Those are never fun.

And you're important enough to your business that you can't take it on a delay like I can. No fun indeed.

Matilda and I are using WanderLog to plan out our Tokyo stay, neighborhood by neighborhood.

ExciteOverWhelm feelings!

yAY benign!

I wrapped up some gifts I am sending to my niblings. Gotta get their SSNs for my retirement accounts, and to do some estate planning. Met with a contractor about getting my hot water heater replaced: he leaned hard on getting a tankless but staying with gas, because otherwise I would have to redo my electrical board.

Benign, hooray!

Anyone else feeling surprised to be so absolutely fucking pissed off about an ERA ratification announcement? I (a) did not expect such an announcement to ever happen and (b) definitely did not expect to be so mad about it (because it's like...not real, has no actual legal consequences, and will 100% be ignored by the new guy as of Monday fucking afternoon.)

Wanderlog is great!!

Yay benign!

At some point I need to replace my water heater, but it seems like something I should get multiple quotes for or something and that feels like effort. And probably it’ll break and I’ll have to do it emergency style and pay way too much. And yet.

ND, 4am meetings are heinous!! I’d be like “how bout you call me your end of day and we plan for tomorrow” because anything I told them at 4am might not be true because I’d only be a tiny bit awake.

Benign fuck yeah!!!

I do not see why he wasted his breath.

I'm pretty fucking angry at the way the Biden administration wasted its (admittedly narrow) window to at least TRY to fix shit that TFG had shown was broken. They could have pushed the reform of SCOTUS, to enforce ethics rules on federal employees, to protect access to the vote. They could have made those issues important to the electorate.

And they could have FUCKING ADVERTISED the wins they got! But they were too "classy" to tell people about the hundreds of millions of dollars that will be spent in their communities as a result of the IRA and other initiatives.

::upends the table::

Hooray for benign!

I have not figured out how to react to the ERA ratification thing. In fact, I am starting to think that the Dean showing up in pajamas that would have been appropriate last episode is a good metaphor for the announcement.

Jessica, Consuela, yeah, though the announcement makes me glad, I know people that wanted that for YEARS. Good news, msbelle.
