Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

aurelia, that is totally cool! I love seeing behind-the-scenes stuff like that.

Working from home was hard for me, because it was so easy to slip into the habit of not ever talking to anyone, even when I did get out of the house. I wouldn't want to do it long-term.

I'm beginning to think I shouldn't either. We'll see.

And here we go...

Good luck, sara! I hope CSwtfe is told to go take a long walk off of a short pier.

Glad that the think is OK, Jesse, and won't be cause for any worry for you.

I think it's been a week like that for everyone, Suzi. It's been pissy and exhausting in general. I hope you get a chance to rebound soon.

I definitely see the difference in work from home days when I wear my Fitbit. One of the several reasons I'm planning to join/pay for a coworking space once I'm not traveling, even though I have a perfectly good home office.

Me too. Even though I spent hours in the car each day while I was in NM, I still managed more than 11,000 steps per day. When I'm home, and on a day I don't go to the gym, I'm lucky if I hit 2,000.

There's a few coworking spaces in Harrisburg, but I'm not convinced it would be any better. I wouldn't do it every day, so I couldn't get an office. The only spaces available to me are communal tables with other people. I like my larger monitor and wireless keyboard and I couldn't use them there. There is also such a thing as too much closeness with people. Yes, I know I'm being all Princess in the Pea-like.

Boo, meara. Nothing should be discussed at 6:30 am besides coffee or breakfast.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

ltc was very insistent on holding her dish this morning while I fed her breakfast. As in big huge tears. So, after the food was mostly gone, I let her have at it. Messy but worth it.

Ugh, meara, I'm sorry that sucks.

I think Mitt Romney just quoted John Oliver in his speech against Trump, or he at least used a very similar list of Trump's failed business ventures.

It has to be incredibly frustrating for the RNC right now. The right-wing media has their base convinced that Obama has turned the country into a garbage fire and then Trump comes in and scoops their well-tenderized base.

Boom. Can't go official yet, as the rest of the staff doesn't yet know.

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

Ugh. Sorry, sara. That sucks.

Boom good or boom bad?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Also worried about sara's boom. Miss you too, msbelle.

It did not sound like things were headed toward the good sort of boom earlier.
