This new apartment is crazy.
The thermostat is set at 66° & "Off." However, it's boiler heat, which means the unit still radiates a little heat.
When I got home the temperature read 76°. I opened a windows all the way. It was 54° outside when I went to bed and the house only dropped 1°.

After getting a good night's rest, my takeaway from yesterday is 1. My work might think I'm a pyro and 2. My boss might also be a pyro. 4. There's a slight concern I'm going to start rescuing feral cats on the way to work and hoard them in my office.
I often tell people multitasking is a misnomer for what's more actually prioritization.
That said, I think today is as close to multi-tasking as you can get. 5 minutes on this project, 5 minutes on this project, 20 minute meeting, 5 minutes here, computer restart/locker label project.

Took me a second to work out the logistics here, Fred does like to fold himself into boxes in odd ways. Obviously I went in for danger tickles.

Me: OMG. I need to go to bed early tonight.
Also me: I can at least go to bed on time.
...Well, I'm only 30 minutes late. That's not bad.
...WTF? How did I get to 2 hours late again?!
Wait. I need to...
D@mn!t, what am I doing?!

So MAGA, You see these two? One of them is your dear leader, the other is a Prince in a country where CHRISTIANITY IS BANNED. Where you can be arrested for being a CHRISTIAN, for displaying CHRISTIAN symbols and even, for having a bible.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Guy in front of me on the bus is eating.
According to the rules that is not allowed.
Usually, I don't care, but I'm hungry.
Thankfully, it's some kind of boneless hot wings and my stomach isn't up for that or I'd lean over and help myself. 🤣

It's been the kind of day that requires a bubble bath and wine... or maybe pizza and whiskey. We'll see how the commute goes.

I might be my clinic manager's favorite person. She joined our research town hall and discovered I'd organized a presenter for clinic waste management.
I'm just as tired of the issues as she is. 😁

Not one person at the White House yesterday came outside and fixed the flag on the ground.
Not one.
It was there all night. Just lying there.
I guess the staff was too busy hanging frill fuck gold trim.
Or fetching Diet Coke.
Or cleaning the bronzer of his stained sheets.

Joaquin Phoenix in Eddington looks just like my cousin. My cousin might be more sane.
I had the hardest time seeing Joaquin in this character because of the costume and beard, but the crazy came through in the end.

I walked into the kitchen and flipped on the lights to get some pain meds from my bag. I looked into the dark living room. A furry void stared back with hopeful eyes, in a "What's up? Do you have treats?" way. As if I'm supposed to believe he wasn't in the middle of some M.D.K. plan (toy/mate/bug).
