Omg. I am exhausted. Last night went way better, but still! And puppy was like "ok it's 7am time to be awake and play! But only if I'm touching you otherwise I will just bark my head off!"
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

I'm glad the birthday party went well, sj.
I'm watching Agrippina from the Met. It's streaming for free until ~6 tonight, probably EDT, if anyone else is interested.

Sounds like being a parent.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Glad the party went well, sj!
why did I ever wear uncomfortable clothes?
Key question!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Today's fun at the grocery store was woman with mask way below nose, and her partner, man with mask hanging from his ear so he can vape.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I wish Nova would wait until 7 am to start meowing, but it's been somewhere between 5:30 and 6 for a while. Ugh.

We used to feed the cats at 7:30 back when we had, like, places to be and stuff. Now I get up at 6:30, feed the cats, and go back to sleep till whenever. Since Tom actually has to wake up at a specific time for work (no commute though), I figure it's fair to let him sleep through all that drama.

I need to go to the grocery store today. Mask usage has gone up quite a bit from what it used to be but I'd say about 20% of the people there won't be wearing one. Technically speaking, I'm immuno-compromised so that's not great. OTOH, there are times I kind of hope to get COVID and die so it's not all bad I guess (I'm still wearing a mask everywhere though, I don't want minimize spreading it to others regardless). At least, I don't get disapproving looks when I wear a mask like I used to.

No, that is bad. We don't want you to get sick, and we don't want you to wish you were sick.

What Dana said. It sounds like an awful disease, and wouldn't make anything better.
I skipped out on going out to brunch (outdoors) because we're going for a ride in a couple of hours and I cannot do heavy exercise on a full stomach. I'm really jealous of people who can.
Went to the farmer's market this morning and although there was like 95% mask compliance, I did notice the two young white women strolling through without masks (not hanging around their necks or whatever, not there at all). What makes you special, young lady? There are signs all over the farmer's market.
