Beverly, thanks for the recommendation. I do have something that might well be something they'd want. But most of what I have - that I'd like to get rid of - is 19th Century, a specific pattern of white ironstone, plus one complete tea set in soft-paste porcelain. sigh ... I buy and I buy, but never got rid of anything.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, Alan Tudyk.

Someone called him out (Tudyk) and he responded pretty well. "I shouldn't deny another person's experience..." etc although he had to reiterate how much he likes and respects Joss and just BE QUIET FOR A WHILE, MAN. JUST HUSH

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
As far as I know, none of them have ever said anything about Adam Baldwin, so. Yeah.

Really? Well.
Had a glass of wine and watched the first episode of the quarantine version of The Princess Bride. So far it is as cute as you would imagine. Quibi might well win me over with this gambit.
Waiting for more orders to be approved so I can work more. Yay.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Took Nova in to the vet for a followup visit. They'll have the results of the bloodwork tomorrow, but she has put on a fair bit of weight, so that's good. They noticed some thickening of the intestines, so they want her to have an ultrasound to see if the cause is IBD or lymphoma. Sigh...

OK, totally random, but...one of the few republicans I still have on my FB feed is a friend from college, who very rarely posts about politics--mostly just to say he'll be appearing on Fox or CNN or whatever, and sometimes about his wife/kids/etc (his wife does some very interesting and non-partisan law stuff). Interestingly, his wife is from India. He's a very white redhead. Their older daughter clearly takes after her mom. But he just posted a picture of the younger daughter (he hadn't posted in several months, since she was quite little) and she seems to be blonde and blue eyed. I just....gotta wonder how weird that will be for the two kiddos. One will have so much more privilege than the other....and will their dad even see that?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Up to 14 staff at my parent's place that have tested positive. Still no residents. Parents are going out even less, but Dad had Dr appt today.
Through contact tracing anyone who has had contact with an infected staff person is being put on apartment 2 week quarantine. They are hoping to avoid that.
really not liking the daily total of employees affected going up. Every single positive employee has shown no symptoms from what they are telling us.

That seems so strange, and is certainly alarming. I hope the "no residents" part keeps happening.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
msbelle, if the staff protocol is anything like the one we have, staff have to be masked up for all resident interaction. The few infections we've had have been through private aides who do the bathing, dressing, feeding et cetera for the people who need the highest level of 'assisted living', except for one person, a staff accountant who spends about an hour and a half on public transport and rarely deals with a resident.
We all get temp checked upon coming into work.
