I'm not watching the Memorial Day parade that's going by a couple blocks away -- a couple years ago I watched it and ended up with a depression that lasted most of the summer.
Wesley: And how does your kind define love? Demon: Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I just made a bunch of chocolate-covered strawberries that will go to the family party with or without me. Now I'm going to take a shower and see how I feel.
Although I'm wondering how contagious I am, if this thing started Thursday evening. Probably still moderately contagious, I bet. I don't want to get anyone sick. But I don't want to sit home all by myself on this gorgeous day while the whole family is having grilled meats and beer. Maybe I can sit in a corner with my grilled meats and beer, and wave at people.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I think as long as you don't hug or kiss people, you should be fine, Teppy.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
::nods:: Scrappy is wise.
It was partly sunny and cool yesterday for the annual Ski to Sea parade. Event day today? Cold and cloudy with intermittent showers. Isn't that always the way. Sloth, and a cup of hot chocolate before the fire, seems more rewarding.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds really good, Bev.
The cat that was napping on the (not turned on) heating pad finally got up and let me use it and it is helping. Whew.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
My daughter was a last minute substitution on the ski/snowboard leg of Ski to Sea with a group of guys from her Ultimate Frisbee team. She has snowboarded maybe a dozen times in her life and the last time was Christmas vacation in 2012 but she likes a challenge. A result was posted for that leg so I can at least confirm that she made it down the hill in one piece!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Wash your hands and don't hug or kiss, Tep. And enjoy!
Sunday race day for me. But radio broadcasts because I ditched cable. I'm hoping it leads to racing naps. I'm tired.

Very cool, lcat!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
NB: It's dilaudid day, and it's in pretty full effect, so my language maybe nonsensical if I'm being obsessive about spelling but putting in random words and trailing off.
But think of all the people denied a Steph smish! Typhoid Mary got to be hugged by people, I'm sure. But in more seriousness, you have a bit more weight to keep unwanted huggers off you.
My nurse kept dabbing at her eyes all session and I think it's because of my eye watering. Oops.
You know, the only thing I'll miss about improved health when it comes is nurses and so much Ubering. I really like talking to nurses (except RN Woo Woo) and cabs too
How do normal people find those random brief conversations? I know they said it was hard to make friends out of university, but I'm not much concerned with these being people I see again. In fact, I'd prefer zipless conversations to new friends.
I've fallen asleep so many times during this post I no longer remember what my point was supposed to be.--TL/DR/FA.

Truth.
I mean sometimes new friends maybe but, ugh, not all new people I talk to will be friends. Few will. Just give me a few minutes of conversation and then go away.
I'd be less wary of talking to strangers if I thought there was a decent chance they'd go away afterwards.
