Calling in was absolutely the move. Slept for 22 hours.

Didn’t want to, but I know I need to call. Going to have to work some overtime this coming weekend to make up for it.

Pretty sure the allergy attack they kicked off Friday seems to be turning into a sinus infection. I know I should probably call in tonight and sleep it all off for the next day and a half.

Not sure how, but if I can’t pull the money together in a week and a half, I’m going for Dopey for the Disney Marathon next year.

Yup. I was only able to get out the second weekend, so these are from Bacchus Sunday (he says not at all confidently)

Well there’s worse things to lose my leg in the top sails for

Also your reminder to get your damn library card, read books, listen to audiobooks, rent films, use the culture pass

Two predictions:

1. When it happens, they try to make it a holiday that same day.

2. 70 years from now when things get declassified, we’re going to find out he tried to use nukes this past week. (If he doesn’t this next week)

"Lazy thinking is what collapses countries" yoooooo 🎯

If you're young enough not to remember 9/11 and the beginning of the Great War on Terror very well, just know there are many similarities already happening or about to happen: being accused of being anti-American/anti-The Troops/pro-terrorism if you don't support every single action the Pres takes;

Cherish every meal you have at a locally owned spot and celebrate when they have a "good month this week" because someone's IG post told the world about them:

The walk to the museum was perfect and the museum was exactly what I needed to be doing today

None of it is a distraction, they are just indiscriminately terrible all the time

It was worth coming to be able to see it again before the exhibition is over tomorrow.
