It's 12 degrees here and I have to go to therapy at 1. I will be wearing many many layers. I'm probably going to look like a pile of laundry.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Sending good vibes Mr. flea's way. This is all so gut-wrenching.
So excited for you both, David! Bon voyage!
Stay warm, Gud. Sounds like it's fixed?
Yay for degrees, brenda!

Consuela, I'm so sorry. I honestly don't understand how we got here. (Today I came up with a theory about leaded gasoline, but it's not much comfort.) I don't know what I could possibly offer, but let me know if I can do anything from far away.
Working for a state university makes me a little nervous, I tell you what.
I got a little into it there and depressed myself, so I deleted most of it and pulled myself back out. Anyone have a suggestion for a small action for good today?

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

Hoping for not too terrible for mr flea

And Hec, I find it surprisingly easy to imagine you in Japan. I hope you both have a fantastic time.

Bon Voyage Hec!
Emily do you have a local food bank? Donating money or volunteering is almost always an unmixed good.

Brenda why do you not have a water bill?
The water here is from a well.
We are on the city sewer line (thank dog) but not on municipal water.

We’ll all be excited to hear Japan reports!
Suela, you’ve been on my mind these past few days. So enraging. I don’t know who else around here (directly, immediately) impacted, besides possibly flea’s DH, but I’m really sorry for all this painful unnecessary and ultimately destructive bullshit you’re dealing with.

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

Is there a good story to go with that?
