Today's demonstration march seems much larger than other daytime-work day marches have been.
Anybody can be a prop class clown.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Apparently shingles uses the same nerve paths set up by chicken pox. What's even freakier is that psoriasis uses those same nerve paths, so if you have chicken pox, you're susceptible to shingles. But there's a genetic component to psoriasis, so one's at risk for that only if one's predisposed.
Bodies are freaky.
Amyth, good to see you're recovering well! Good luck on the exams, SA! And Sparky, that's a bunch of stuff in pretty close sequence. I hope if it's shingles, you have the same good outcome as flea.

dH has not had the chicken pox vaccine. So, wish us both luck.
I suspect the second night was racial profiling by MPD, as they were the ones who zeroed in on this faculty member as a suspicious person. My opinion only, with all the caveats that attach.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Swift diagnosis and treatment of shingles~ma, Sparky, and figuring out how best to safeguard your DH.
Exam~ma, SA.
Hi, amyth! It's good to see you. I hope you are felling better soon.

Well, I confess to thinking when you mentioned that the second lock-down had been a false alarm regarding a faculty member, "Wonder what color his skin was".

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh, Sparky! Sounds like a mess!

Huh, I thought shingles and chicken pox were caused by the same virus. I should look that up, shouldn't I?

Here's a quick fact sheet on shingles and chicken pox: link
I hope it's not shingles, Sparky, but even more I hope that if it is your body responds like flea's and the worst is over soon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ah, facts! Nice.
I feel like I am not accomplishing anything today. Oh well, going to lunch, maybe I'll do better this afternoon.

Ah, facts! Nice.

Anyone looking for pet insurance, think twice before going with Banfield. The people in the pet hospitals are nice, but dear god, the system you have to deal with to manage it. I wanted to make sure it didn't renew, so I called their number. Billing was able to find the account, but I had to talk to Cancellation, who couldn't find the account, so they sent me back to Billing to find every possible ID number associated with the account so they could send me back to Cancellation so I could tell them not to renew.
I know it's no faire judgement of quality of care, but a badly organized back office setup doesn't impress me.
