I'm sorry, Shir. And yes, I understand, my pixelated friend.
That's my girl... That's my good girl.

Yes, Shir, your friends in the glowy box understand and sympathize with your feelings for another friend/acquaintance in the glowy box. Hope things for her get better.

I don't know her, so I can't call her a friend. Just a person I care about. There has been a terrible and sudden loss that's echoing an older terrible loss, so I don't expect things to get better for a long while.

My boss brought me pie.

I got dispatched on a 35-mile round trip to deliver a 'care package' of clothes and toiletry items to one of our residents who is in a rehabilitation facility after a bout of COVID. Only to find after driving all that way that despite what the resident and the social worker who suggested it thought, outside clothes and so on are not permitted to be given to the patients currently.
(Our facility does, fwiw, and so does at least one other rehab place in Cambridge. So it didn't occur to US that this might be a possibility.)
At least it was an easy drive (to Stoughton, for those who know their Boston geography so it was all Southeast Expressway which used to be ..dire) and I saw goslings!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My hair is currently at 1961 Beatle. I figure in about ten days, it will reach 1962 Beatle.
