I almost had to take some sick time off of work this afternoon. I wasn’t sick though.

Before work started this morning I threw in a load of laundry. Specifically, I washed our bed sheets. It took half the work day to get through it all because things got really busy for a while there. By 3:00 or so that load of laundry was done and I brought it upstairs and quickly made the bed.

The sheets had gone straight from the dryer onto the bed and they were so warm and happy and wonderful that I almost told Jen that we had to both take the afternoon off sick so that we could just get into bed and go to sleep in the warm and happy and wonderful newly cleaned sheets.

We didn’t though.

Total missed opportunity, if you ask me.

Maybe I’ll wash the sheets again tomorrow, what with it being Saturday and all.

Sounds like a plan.

A friend of mine has, alas, caught the 'Rona.

She's chosen to watch The Princess Bride. Because, well, it's a good story for when you're sick.

Meanwhile, back at the #WhiteHouse, #railroaders get #railroaded, and #TedCruz and #MarcoRubio are playing the populist card, slithering up on their bellies like the #snakes they are...(thoughts get away from me sometimes.)

Anyway...They're both saying that workers deserved #sicktime, and that they got screwed, and you're goddamn right they got screwed, but fuck-you-very-much for saying it.

Good grief, just give the #railroadworkers #sicktime
