There is so much happening every day that you can't absorb it all.
I don't recommend this method, but having your spouse go through cancer treatment is an exceptionally effective way to take up all the space in your head for thinking about stuff. I read the news and it all bounces right off me at this point. And I'm honestly kind of glad, because I can recognize that if I had any free brain space to process this hellscape, I'd be on the floor hyperventilating into a paper bag.
Because it deserves its own post:
Happy Birthday, erika!!!
Hipo birdies!
Today I left my travel companion and went to an elephant sanctuary and most of it was cool or whatever but the five month old baby elephant annoying the crap out of it’s mom, which was the very last few minutes of the trip, was absolutely the best and funniest part.
Happy Birthday, erika!
I went to this book reading last night. Tom Gauld! Mimi Pond! It was a nice respite.

I am really enjoying living vicariously through you, meara! How fun!

That's so cool! I follow Tom Gauld on Tumblr and saw he was doing a tour — glad you got to go!

That is delightful!
Very nice, Scola!
I am working at my old office today because we have a corporate volunteer thing this afternoon that is much nearer to here than the other office. I may be the only person in the office proper. I saw a bunch of cars in the parking lot but everyone must be in the warehouse, I've only seen one other human and that was in the lunchroom. Eerily quiet and the lights turn off if I stay too still. At least the wifi is working.
