Yay for ringing bells, and may all side effects be as minimal as possible and easily managed.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Excellent news on Tim's bell lap. He's really done very well under the circumstances.
I did my Monday morning Pilates and it was sweaty and vigorous. The week has officially started.
More importantly, I cleaned the Guinea Pig cage which was ripe and overdue. Then I trekked to the Post Office and with immaculate timing arrived with No Line Whatsoever, wherein I mailed a big fat frickin' check to the IRS via Priority.
Bought a Muffaletta for lunch. (And, of course it had olives on it or it wouldn't be a Muffaletta by definition!)
I've taken out the garbage and I'm about to go to therapy, and when I return I will do the other two Onerous Tasks that have been bedeviling me: the Lutheran spawning dishes in the sink, and vacuuming (which is especially necessary because I've been killing flies all over the house and need to suck up their little exo-corpses).

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm sorry you have to wait so long for the all clear.
I do understand the reasoning behind having to wait, but waiting drives me nuts because I'm such a control freak.

Our new project management tool is, I am told, affected by the outage but I don't use it so, shrug

Another podcast ad to complain about: I think it’s Odoo? Something like that. Isn’t calling a business “magic beans” and “fertilizer” usually bad?

Fertilizer doesn’t seem bad but magic beans does!
Went to a friend’s house to watch the Mariners lose. Bummer.

Punishingly Intricate
CB got developed pneumonia smoke we were away and had a mass on her lung. We went right to the pet er from the airport last night and she wasn’t doing well at all. Headed back there now and will likely have to put her to sleep. Am so sad, she’s such a great dog

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Oh, no. :-(
