I'm sorry about the death certificate, JZ. It's so hard to move anything forward with this part of the process without it.
Hi esse! It's great to see you around these parts. I'm glad you were able to share that info in Beep Me with us.
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

Well, for those who celebrate Passover, here's a suggestion for how Seder 2020 will actually go.

Because books.
PA just announced schools are closed for the rest of the year. I don't know why, amidst everything else, that's hitting me so hard, but it is.

Amy, through the end of the current school year? Or the end of December? December would be the longest closing I've heard of so far.

School year, sorry.

Our wings are not tired.
Our schools just say closed 'until further notice', but they have a pretty robust virtual school environment already in place.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
esse, while I love your new third-person, it just makes me aware of how long it's been since I've seen you in face-to-face second person! Some day when we're all free to move again, I hope!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Ugh. We had our Zoom seder with my family last night, and that was nice and everyone tried to make the best of it, but Passover just feels weird. And I maybe had a little too much wine. And then there was a tornado warning and I had to go down to the basement, so by the time I got to bed, I was feeling all emotionally screwy, plus in a ton of pain from going up and down the stairs. And then I kept waking up from nightmares that I got covid.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Virtual hugs and love to JZ and Hil and everybody. It's all too too much. I feel like I'm on the edge of a weeping breakdown every moment, lately.
Katie should've been moving in with me this month but she's stuck in Seattle now at her awful job for who-knows how long. She doesn't want to move in until she can quarantine for 2 weeks (wisely) but she doesn't have the money to not work for 2 weeks plus not work while looking for a job here, and we don't know what to do. So we're just in a holding pattern not doing anything. I can deal with putting off the move; I'm having trouble dealing with suddenly not having a plan at all.

Passover just feels weird
Yep. My roommate and me had a lovely Seder, but it's not the same. And I'm sorry, Hil.
