So good to read, askye!
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The film crew at our school, inspired by some of my wife's Tik Toks, decided to make a video documenting the craziness of two full time teachers and three kids, partly to build empathy with our demanding parent community.
That was great! And so fun seeing your family.

Gris, I LOVE that. I shared it on my FB and asked everyone on the planet to watch it.

JZ, I'm so glad you're finding some joy. If you haven't read it yet, Chicago's Most Wanted is just marvelous. I haven't read a lot of DS but that one is worth your time.
I teamed up with a friend and we got takeout from a local place: chopped salad, wood-fired pizza with house-made sausage, two manhattans in a plastic bottle, and chocolate-chili pot de creme. We ended up with two pizzas because they messed up the first one. We ate on E's back patio with lots of room between us, and she opened a really nice bottle of red from Paso Robles.
... I really don't want to work tomorrow.

Gris and family, you are all wonderful.
I survived this morning's presentation in zoom class. I didn't get how much I'm dependent on feeling-the-room thing when I give a presentation and that felt really awkward. Now to hearing some comforting music (because I hate feeling awkward especially in something I'm pretty good at) while doing some house chores. And trying to wake up enough to do two other class assignments today.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I just spent three hours at the actual office at work, and... wow, that's horrible. I already knew I was okay being a demi-hermit, but going back in there just solidified it. I truly do not ever want to go back any more than is absolutely necessary.
JZ, I'm feeling the same way. As much as I want the pandemic to be OVER, I'm dreading going back into the office. It's a nice office, my co-workers are great, I just... don't want to have to go there every g-d day and stay there 8-5. It feels like a cage in a zoo, people are watching me and I can't get away.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I had a dream last night that one of you people had died and I'm very glad to get online and confirm it's not true! Phew. That was a very disturbing dream. Try not to do that, everyone, OK??

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
yikes Jesse.
I am headed into the office. I actually like going in, but I am not sure how I will feel when other people are there.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm alive! And Covid negative, as I expected. I go to my PCP this morning to get abused about my weight, cholesterol, and BP. Sigh. All of those were so vastly improved last summer, but now worse than ever. Double sigh.

Eep, Jesse! Pretty transparent as anxiety dreams go, I suppose, but do not like!
I am figuratively bouncing on my toes, ready to throw down with the first customer that looks at me sideways. Come at me, bros, I dare you. Although I will not actually tear into them, I just have a lot of anger and I'm directing it their way in my head for the moment.
