Likewise, sad to hear that Sue passed away.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Megan, its good to see you.
I got to visit with Sue last summer when I was visiting ElenaB and her husband (I forget what his board name was BitD) in Halifax. We took the ferry to Dartmouth and had brunch and went to a day spa. It was such a lovely day and now, alas, it is a treasure. Oh poor Sue.

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

It was one of those wonderful old friend visits where everything falls into place and you laugh and talk about your rescue dogs and learn that someone is part Mikmaw and scrub yourselves with mud. One of those lovely simple Our Town days that turns out to be so very important.

Our wings are not tired.
It's really good to hear that you had that time with her, Trudy.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm so sorry to hear about Sue. I don't believe I ever met her in person, but she always had such a wonderful online presence.
I have received some samples of the medical supplies I need, but a full shipment is being delayed by a lack of medical notes on them from my doctors office. So, now I'm playing phone tag with them trying to get this straightened out before having my wisdom teeth out tomorrow, and I definitely don't have enough spoons at the moment.

So sorry, sj. Such a fucking... I don't even know what to call it.

Thanks, JenP. I don’t know what to call it either. TCG was asking the other day what happens to people who can’t advocate for themselves and don’t have people in their life that can advocate for them and the only answer I can come up with is “they die”.
In good news I have a virtual appointment set up for Wednesday. So, I may be heading to the end of this mess.

OK, I accidentally just stole someone's lunch.
Put my drinks on the wrong tray and off I walked...
There's really no way to switch it since I brought it back to my desk so I'll just go ahead and eat wrong lunch?
It feels like I should somehow "fix this!" though.

I think mostly what happens is they don't get things.
