Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Coding and Sleeping

If you look carefully at my desk setup you may notice that I have a still-boxed Funko figure of the "This is Fine" dog. I got that cause I though it would be a fun thing to have at my desk at work, but it arrived right when COVID hit and I never ended up going back to my workplace. So, potentially, I may have caused the worldwide pandemic by ordering that Funko. I also replaced my car right when I stopped commuting.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Nah. I have an unboxed Marvin the Martian Funko figure glowering at me from on top of my bookcase across the room. There has still not been an Earth-shattering "Kaboom!"

Not yet, anyway.

“TEST NOT PERFORMED Quantity not sufficient. “

I HATE EVERYTHING. I’m calling out of work tomorrow and will either get an appointment with my dr or will go get a test that is not a self test.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Argh, msbelle! Calling out is the smart and responsible choice.

Compassionately intolerant

When I could not take care of myself, the thing I needed most, after food delivery, was pet care.

I know E will be there for the pets, but if a local walker is needed, and friends do not have personal referrals, I can interview and set up a walking service with a little information. I will cover a few days and make collective payments.

Hey everybody. Long time, my type. Virtual hugs all around.

Now, I'll go back and read the threads.

Happy birthday, esse!

Thanks to everyone who is coordinating help for Aimee. I definitely want to contribute.

I made it to Michigan yesterday evening! Everything went pretty smoothly, although my flight to Detroit was oversold, which was a fun way to ease back into flying.
