20 years
Today is my 20th Anniversary with this same employer -- even the same division of this employer. I've held 6 positions during these 20 years, and I expect this one to be my last. I'm flatly not interested in another promotion or moving to a different division. Let me do this for 6 years, 6 months, and 17 days more, and then I'll retire and do something else with my "work" hours.

I'm back to my wacky work-from-home sleep schedule. Not really a schedule, my sleep happens at all hours or not at all. I don't get anxious about it -- if I'm not sleepy I'm not sleepy. If I'm sleepy, I take a nap if I can. It's low stress. I've got a 9:45am meeting this morning that I need to prepare for, so I'll be getting up soon anyway.

Now that the OTC meds have worn off, I have some residual symptoms from the food poisoning, but it's more manageable/acceptable than it was Wednesday evening.
I may try some yoga today, either before or after I head downtown.
As for heading downtown ... I'm not sure what I'm going to do there for once, I may not be able to play with toys yet. It's been my weekend institution during Quarantine!
I need to stop at the Post Office on the way, I need to mail a couple of things that require nonstandard postage.

The FMJ has shipped! I only know this because the last time I bought a device from this company I registered with Australia Post for tracking updates. This morning I received an email directly from Australia Post. I did not receive an email from the company, and when I check my account at their website it still claims my device is "in production".
Australia Post says 10-18 business days for a delivery to the US. I should remain in my custom metal cage until then. When the FMJ arrives I can trim pubes before putting it on and freezing the keys. I hope I like it!

I keep hearing of more people getting their COVID shots. I'm envious. My boss and his wife got their shots even though they already had COVID. A gay couple much younger than I am both got their shots recently -- they apparently qualified in their state because they're HIV+. But here in Maryland my asthma gets me nada. I'll just keep hiding from the world as best I can. At some point supply will exceed demand.
I remember back when the 2009 H1N1 vaccine came out, I went to a mass vaccination site and waited in a super long line to snag my shot.

I like the MIDI keyboard I have at the house so much better than the older one at the condo, I'm seriously thinking of buying a second one for the condo so I have the same model at each location. But the amount of time I'm spending using them doesn't seem to justify the expense ... it's like the board games I buy and never play, the books I buy and never read. I'll probably buy it, though. I like having the same stuff in both locations, to some extent. But I'll probably wait until the next time I actually use the keyboard at the condo -- prove to myself I'll use the darn thing, and feel the inferiority of the old one under my fingertips. I'm also wanting to have copies of my instruction books at both places, LOL.
