Sometimes it's better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness

This morning was very frustrating (Gary has been wound up because of all the fucking fireworks, which went on until past midnight, I couldn't make the lunch I wanted to because I was out of sweet potatoes, when I was sure I had some; I missed out on the bi lunchtime zoom because my computer audio was not behaving and attempts to fix it made it worse...) but by the afternoon the presidential election was all-but-determined and I'd had confirmation that the covid test I'd been waiting on had come back negative.

So at least I'm not waiting for those things any more and I got the answers that are best for everyone. I wish I felt more relieved but I'm too tired. Today started at 4:30am and hopefully I'll get to sleep soon.
