Thank you Tom!! The pictures are a delight.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Laura, your mom and you are lucky to have each other--such wise and caring women.
msbelle, everyone who knows you is lucky to have you--such understanding and perspective. I hope you can use those things to give yourself some love and support. You certainly deserve both those things.
tommy, thanks so much for sharing the pictures. Familiar faces! And a new one to match with a posting voice here!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
1st step in being proactive - joined FB groups for 3 local Democratic Party groups. At least I might find like minded people.

I'm cramming food in my face because I need to be at the travel clinic in 30 minutes, and they told me to come with a full stomach in case of any reactions. Which sounds kind of ominous?

shrift, it may just be like "some people get all weird and fainty when they get shots, and you're less likely to do that if you have a decent blood sugar going on"?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
msbelle, you are loved and adored, and I'm sorry that you're going through a rough patch. It might not help, but you should know that I would have never gotten through my move without you. I wish I was closer, but I'm only a phone call away. Much love to you.

Laura, I hope I have as much time with my parents as you've had with your mom. Being closer to mine was a huge factor in moving back.
And I'm happy, weirdly so. For the first time in 2+ years I have a home again.
connie, you and DH are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm still waiting to hear about whether or not I got the job for next year. This waiting is driving me crazy.

meara, I suspect you are right.
Other than getting the shots, that was kind of fun. My travel nurse was a hoot. I need to take an oral prescription for Typhoid before I leave, and I have prescriptions for malaria and altitude sickness while I'm there. Plus antibiotics just in case.
That's plenty of adulting for one day. Now I shall eat this chocolate-dipped almond macaroon.
