I do really appreciate you making some of these jokes so I don't have to.

A tremor? Caffeine poisoning? A newfound attachment to your toilet?

Been watching this with interest on Facebook. I'm so glad you're doing well. Kerri and I miss seeing you every year.
Over the past couple of weeks I have made a concerted effort to get my gmail inbox under control. Just picking away at it in short increments. I've had the account for... 15 years, and have never really filed or deleted anything en mass.
I started at over 10,000 messages in the inbox. I'm now down to less than 300. I'd love to get it down to <50 though, so I still have some work to do.

TBH, it hasn't been that bad. I mean, it's taken a bit, but not been that painful.
Heh...

Oh my work email is an exception, as I on principle do not look at it when I am not at work.
I have to save piles of emails until reports are issued. It’s lovely when I’m able to delete a pile. At work. I clearly don’t manage my personal email as shown above 
So....every indication I have so far is that I'll be in the DFW for work in August.
Such a lovely time of year to visit DFW. The air temp is over 100f, the concrete is radiating 100f at midnight, the dry parched earth has baked into a brick that is still 90f at midnight. But the wind is blowing like a convection oven so that your sweat dries instantly.
Good luck though.
Hah, I lived in Texas for 40+ years. I know all about it.
It was just me reminiscing about my childhood. Didn’t mention it, but brought back memories of the 2nd degree burns I got on my hand from a car door handle. Didn’t say they were good memories.
My brother lives in that area, more to the Ft. Worth side of things though. I'm not sure exactly where, though, he's only been there for a year or two.
It's so nice living in civilization again (In Ashburn, VA now until the Texas thing comes together).
And by "civilization" I mean "able to order lunch from Door Dash because I'm stuck in meetings and can't leave the office for more than a couple of minutes at a time"

I recently replaced my work laptop that was getting increasingly unusable due to lag/general sluggishness. The new one is smaller, lighter, newer, and admittedly has less memory. But it was cheap, it is fast, and I don't care.
As a result of this lack of concern for the machine's resale value (or something?) I have been decorating it. I have never put any identifying marks on a computer before in my life, so this is a big deal for me.
I applied what I think is the last sticker today, and I share the results with you all.

The pika-mobile looks great. I am not impressed that I had to drive our lazy ass kids to school in it though.
It needs a wash.
Argh the Aperture sticker is slightly crooked! Either make it decently off-grid like Eve's quote, or line it up properly, but looking at that would drive me to madness!
Or already has, whichever.
I know, I wasn't organized enough (or have a good enough eye) to get it perfect.
Tempting. I don't know enough Star Trek to justify it. But I do like it!
I will be starting a study program for a second professional designation
Unexpected holiday.
