My stress superpower returned! After realizing I'd eaten none of my snack at one today, did a mental tally of everything eaten in the last 4 days, and sure enough, my appetite is shot. Even if I'm mindful of it, pretty sure I'm gonna drop weight over the next 7 weeks. And the STILL haven't posted the ad, even though the retiring mission head thought it would be today. Ah well, my resume isn't ready (hell, it is only written in my head right now. In this form.)

And I swam really fast despite the fact my thigh is killing me because...I dunno? Slept funny? Maybe carrying the ladder up 2 flights?

{{{Gud}}} I'm so sorry you're feeling that way. Everyone here has posted so wisely and eloquently, seconding what they said.

Gud, seconding everyone as well.

That's super weird, Andi! Good you got some warning though, I guess.

scuffle ensues and state rep candidate ends up stapled in the forehead from someone's staple gun.

Oh man. That is hardcore. Who cares THAT much about your state rep unless you ARE the state rep?? (I'm assuming the person who did the stapling was not)

My flight landed over an hour late in Dallas. Thank god we have a good amount of layover!!

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

I've got my sample ballot and as usual, I see that I need to research candidates for the Water Commission and 3 pages of judges. Chicago folks, do you have thoughts on States Attorney?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was having dinner with a coworker, and she used to work for a French organization, so every time she's talking about her boss there, she puts on a French accent. Now I can only think that she sounds like Daveed Diggs as Lafayette!

Punishingly Intricate

Dag, Chicago! I had to share that story with Bob and he was familiar with the accused. A "piece of work."
