Off the... office chair! Busy day today with end of the semester grading. Priorities, priorities...

That's not an anagram, right?

No, I meant to type "ruminate" in the first sentence, but I initially typo'ed it as "ruinate" instead. I decided to leave it as an afterthought.
But yikes, now I see what you were getting at. I just typed an anagram for "ruminate" into a search engine and came back with a bunch of hits to the Urban Dictionary... and Parks and Recreation, which I never watched. No, no, definitely rumination going on here and not the anagram.

Off the couch! A nice clean puzzle, Jay, as per usual. 47A was new to me.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Off the couch. Just one letter I still need to back solve!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

Just when my WSJ slump ends my "other metas" slump begins....
So I just plain couldn't get my meta based on "Up the Down Staircase" to work.
My challenge it to constructors is to make a meta where the meta, theme or metanism is "Up the Down Staircase".

Finished the grid (tough for me!), but don't yet have the meta. I do know this - - Bird Lives matter . . . .

Thanks Jay! Off the couch. My 2nd solve in my nascent meta solving career, it all came together at 4 a.m. lying in the dark, so I had to get up and confirm my thinking. Fun!

Great aha!
Not confirmed yet, but 100% sure I’m off the couch.
Now for a trip to the garden to find a comfy seat
Oh, well, maybe back to the couch.

Had an epiphany during my drive to FL (only made it to Fredericksburg - - anyone been to the Bowman distillery here? Some wicked bourbon!). Anyway, (un)officially off the couch but quite confident. Great one Jay!

Ah, one of the nudges was just what I needed to get pushed off the couch!
That is, I figured out how to Profit! off of the underpants I collected.
