"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

ltc's teacher this year is so amazon. It breaks my heart that ltc's time with her has been cut short. She has figured out that the kids are overwhelmed by the big Zoom meetings. So, now she is going to do several smaller meetings a week, and now I'm a little teary eyed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, hey, this weekend was supposed to be my 30th college reunion. Guess I don't have to think about that for 5 more years...

Because books.

My mom and her lead teacher are doing that, sj. A few of the kids (pre-K) can't handle the whole class meetings, so they've been doing small groups, too. It's making a huge difference.

I love the idea of her ltc's teacher as am amazon, too. ;-)

I've been working long days the last few and haven't been online much so waves and hugs and good thoughts to everyone.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

endoscopy and a colonoscopy in two weeks (like a rotisserie chicken)

Or, as overheard from the nurses, "She's in for a spinner."

I was a couple of days behind, and I've just been catching up and basking in the conversation of sane, rational people. Keep doing that, okay? It's important there're some places like this left.

Also? I love you all.

Our wings are not tired.

Love you, Beverly!

That's all I got. Past my bedtime.

What is even happening?

A spinner. Beverly, thank you for sending this insomniac back to bed for another attempt at sleep with a smile on my face. Much love to you.

And much love to you, Laura. I'm sorry you're going through it with your son. You're a good and loving mom.

I love the idea of her ltc's teacher as am amazon, too. ;-)

Same, Amy.

Oh Dana, the worst. I hope you get some relief soon.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's okay now that I'm out of bed because I can put the ice pack on my arm. But yes, we will be talking to the doctor about some kind of prescription today.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Aw, Dana, that blows.

Honestly, the thing I mainly use for itching is lidocaine cream. Bug bites for example -- impossible not to itch, but with a little lido cream the sensation is entirely numbed. That's a good prescription option.
