I'm ok, Lola... thanks I went off to fold some laundry. Fortunately there were no socks in the load
And now I'll deal with some stupidly stress-inducing stuff and I won't allow my brain to scare me out of it.

What are you doing today, Lola & RR? Anybody else around?

What a musical afternoon here on the couch!
I am going to put myself in a bubble though. Runny nose and sore throat I don't want to share the wealth.

It has a tendency to do that. Bad stuff triggers worse stuff.

On the other hand, there's never a good time to get bad news.
