That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.
There’s a fourth deputy that hasn’t resigned yet, but that’s because they are currently giving birth, two sources tell NBC News.
Ten percent of nothing is -- let me do the math here -- nothing into nothing, carry the --

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
ltc is busy packing for her grandparents’ house this weekend singing “it’s okay to punch nazi’s”. Just the refrain over and over again.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
The SDNY stuff is bananas, but every day is bananas now.
I feel like the country is just sleepwalking through this.

There is so much bananas stuff I don’t know where to concentrate on anymore. Which, is probably the point.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Okay, I've finished my Onerous Task List, having made a chicken soup (and delivered some to my pregnant friend Eleanor - 32 weeks!), and braving the rain to pick up stuff I'd forgotten (including homemade marmalade with ginger).
Now I'm meeting up with a friend at Alembic as reward.

Our wings are not tired.
Today I am celebrating the anniversary of my dad's birth! He would have been 104 and we always said he was a sweetheart.
Things on the homefront are not so great. My son and his girlfriend are down here for her grandmother's funeral, and last night, my son tested positive for flu-A. She is fine but doesn't drive and probably won't fly back without him. But she should! We'll see once they get up. He is hacking away in the other room and had a 103 fever yesterday. Ugh.

Oh, boo, Laura, I'm so sorry. I hope he feels better soon.

I told them both my opinion that he should stay and she should go to deal with work and the cats and so forth. I told them to mull it over, but the flight is tonight, so quickly. She has a LOT of anxiety about negotiating 2 airports by herself, but I think it would help her in the future if she does it. The other option is they both stay another week. (Not sure if that is better or worse!!)
To further complicate life, my cousins are arriving next Friday!

Thrive to spite them
My onerous task is going to be making a dental appointment. It's been way too long because I kept getting colds when I scheduled and then rescheduled.
So officially there is no DEI at work. No displays for Black History Month like last year. However at the team meeting the other day we did have Black history trivia. It's not a lot. But it's what could be done without getting management in trouble. So I'll take that

She wasn't up to going without him so she rebooked for next week.
To give myself a treat I booked a few days in Key West for our 35th anniversary next month. Yes, Floridians go to the keys for vacations. Right in old town near restaurants and such, because I don't really require a beach view. I do require a kitchen though! Since we will be driving I can pack food and cook. The place has a nice patio to eat outside. I need to see if they have a grill, hmmm.
