The prize of whiteness, Hecubus!
I have a tiny spot under my left eye that's been there for about a year, and I should really go get it checked out.
Bailed on dinner with friends tonight. This whole 5-days/week in the office is fucking draining. Dog is very upset that she isn't getting a hard 45-minute walk when I get home. Sorry, hon.
Instead I drove to Total Wine & More and bought a bottle of good Irish whisky.
I'm planning to fly to London in June for a walking tour with a friend of mine, and I have to admit I'm getting kind of nervous about the return to the US. Will we still have a government by mid-July? Will I get through customs as a California public servant? Will they have my photo from some protest, and pull me aside? WHO KNOWS.
Trump's popularity continues to wane, and the GOP is showing signs that it might find some gumption to oppose him (like not cutting Medicare, for instance). By July it could be anyone's guess.
I am almost surprised that Abrego Garcia is alive and was permitted to meet with his Senator, so that's another good sign.

I really thought he was dead, so I cried a little when I saw the picture of him meeting with his Senator.
I'm about to make a TJs run because I'd rather go on Friday morning than the day before Easter. I just need more coffee to fortify myself first.
I 199% assumed he was dead and that’s why the government didn’t want to produce him.

Samezies. He looks absolutely shattered, but he's alive.
Such a relief to see that picture!
We get today as a holiday, which is nice but weird. I am enjoying just staying in bed with the cat on my legs very much.

It must be an incredible relief for his family to see him alive, and even more relief for him to know that people are fighting for his rights here. No notion how it will play out, but more hope than previously.
Several days into being sick, and DH is sicker. OMG, he is a terrible patient. He really is sick. Very high fevers, serious lung ick. He is taking all the drugs, but he has zero patience or acceptance that it isn't a quick fix. Being as hyperactive as he is the inability to do much beyond sitting in a chair is making him crazy. (and me)
I hope he feels better soon!
I used to get this day off but now we get a floating holiday instead. Which is probably better but it was kinda fun in the past. That said half my colleagues are in countries where it IS a holiday, and a couple other people took it off, so I’m crossing my fingers for a slow day.
I went to the bank, TJs, and CVS. Now I'm doing laundry and settling in to do some work. Though what I really want is a nap, because I am so full of antihistamines that if Dracula bit me, he'd immediately fall asleep. Everything is blooming outside and my sinuses are so very unhappy about that.
