A very diplomatic “of course we’re keeping a close eye on the political situation, but aren’t preparing for any particular outcome”

That’s what I ended up doing, minus the heating pad (which I don’t own) or rice bag (because they attack it). They had a blanket though. They lost their damned minds the entire time and were jumping up against the top of the playpen like little velociraptors, despite me feeding them approx. 10 million treats apiece. I retained absolutely nothing about that meeting. Oh well, it is done now and they survived. Just add it to the list of pains in the ass around this whole building sale.

my eye has been twitching on and off for roughly a month.
The internet suggests decreasing stress and looking at screens less.

Umm… I guess make sure you have an adequate amount of cash? Keep your passport handy? maybe grow some vegetables?
If you’re a multinational corporation you probably have to grow a lot of vegetables.

Depends on where you live, largely. If you’re in a city, probably have a non city location you can go stay if needed. General emergency supplies/shelf stable food so you don’t have to go out for a period of time if it’s not ideal. Not sure what else.

The store was out of D’s usual deodorant scent so he got “Fresh Scent” (or something along those lines). It smells like scented detergent and I feel like the smell is following me around everywhere.

Does the passport help if no country will let Americans in right now?

My complaint: I’m hot.
If I turn my space heater down, I’m cold.
I cannot get comfortable.

Probably still useful to have your documents on you?

Boyfriend’s Day 1 of WFH and it was immediately obvious that our Internet is not up to the challenge. To be fair, I had to do a task today that requires way way more bandwidth than I usually use.
So he called our great local provider, we can get double the speed for a bit less than we’re paying now due to a deal good for the first year. Hooray! Did we want to upgrade right now? He said yes, she was like OK, let me restart your modem… he didn’t know I had a huge upload to the printer going. GAHHHHHH I had to start over.
Second complaint is that our modem is old and basic and doesn’t do the higher speed so she had to put it back to our old plan anyway and we have to wait for the modem to get here. Unclear if we have to actually let a tech in, EWWWW.

I want cake. We don’t have cake. I found a beautiful looking cake on the internet but it takes 10 eggs.

How much effort do you want? Do you have 4 eggs?

… British descended people eat weird food. It is almost midnight, I will not eat a cake tonight. I will probably have some ice cream just as soon as I get up from under this blanket.

Great, now I want cake, but it’s after midnight and nothing is open and my husband would take a dim view of me clattering about in the kitchen.

Since we mostly get comments about bland food, I’ll take this as a compliment 
I can say this cake makes a consistently moist, thick cake that freezes & defrosts really well so you can take a piece of when the need for cake strikes…

I spent a couple of hours putting together some cool photo gifts and everything was good… and then the .ca website moved me to a .com website for checkout, changed the currency to US$ (treating the two currencies as on par) and added $100 for shipping.
I want my hours back.

I ordered bagels in my grocery delivery and instead got a loaf of 21-grain super high fiber bread. It… is more than my system can handle, I think. I had a sandwich for dinner and am STILL full and bloated this morning. Ugh.
