Thursday morning
I went to bed fairly early for a Popup Toy Night, before 11pm, and I was sleepy.
Slept until sunrise, a bit after 7am. Still in bed, delaying breakfast and teleworking. I'll continue marching forward on my two big priorities, one with due date of tomorrow.
Foot feels mostly better, will give it a massage and determine whether I can walk or run on it later.

At last report 15 House Republicans were not willing to support their own party's nominee for Speaker, so the vote has been indefinitely delayed. What a mess for the party and the country.
Personally I'm not concerned about the inability of Congress to pass quickly more military aid for Ukraine or Israel, I wouldn't vote for bills containing those things anyway. But there is the regular business of funding the general operations of government in the new fiscal year, and whether my household (and millions of others) will be going without pay after November 17th as we head into the Christmas spending season.
But there's nothing I can do to fix the Republican Party. Oh, wait, I could register as a Republican LOL. Still might if I could help boot Trump. But I still have months before I'd need to do that. Meanwhile, I'm still registered as "Other" because the Green Party lost its official status in Maryland by failing to get 1% of the vote in statewide elections.
I could write to my Representative, who is a Democrat, urging him to support a bipartisan Speaker with centrist Democrats and moderate Republicans. OK, done.
