e_o! Hey there. This place is saner than the news sites by a long shot. Although pretty slow on the weekend.

Yikes on the parental care trip. Knee surgery is very helpful, but not a whole lot of fun to endure. She will likely be drugged so that could help. If she is an extrovert perhaps you can get some of her social circle involved via video chats with her.

Everyone is on stress overload. Good to see your pixels during the craziness.

Thanks Laura :) I will say that I am immensely enjoying the summer fruit bounty. There are several farms in the area that are offering extremely low-contact pickup options in empty church parking lots. I ended up with half a flat of cherries and half a flat of blueberries on Sunday and am still working my way through both. I have literally been eating blueberries and perfectly ripe dark cherries for breakfast all week AIFG. Well, it's great now that my digestive system is on board. The first day was rough ;P

Oh yes, I tend to overindulge in fresh berries when they first come in too. Worth it!

Hi e_o! Good to see your pixels. Sorry about the upcoming quarantine with the extrovert, but you are a good person to do it for her. I hope your mom's surgery goes well and you can get back home safely without too much stress.

I cut back by a third on my BP meds and I feel SO much better. The fatigue and swollen feet were getting intolerable. So far my BP is holding steady at almost but not quite too high, which is acceptable right now. I just need to feel like myself again.

TIL that there's a variety of porny spam that consists of sharing docs with your google drive.

I happened to see a notification on a tablet logged into DH's account. I'm glad I did some recon before being all "the fuck?"

argh...these conservative women fighting me about reparations are making me want to be all "Yes. feral Karen, I totally want Black Lives Matter to pick your personal pocket." ( I didn't.) Also, affirmative action? What year is it on FoxPlanet? Plus, though, I'm totally "Go, reparations, it's your birthday!" Or something like that.

Hey All! For the first time in A While I have like, an hour. I check in occasionally but have zero chance of properly keeping up. It's really nice to remember that this place is still here - The home I can still go to even though I can't get on a flight because America is riddled.

Welcome home, Jars!

Hi Jars!!! We are here no matter how fucked America is! Which is "a lot" right now.

Hi, Jars! Welcome back!
