That seems like an excellent reason to stay, Consuela. Especially considering we are looking at a high of 105 on Tuesday here (probably not quite that high by your house, but still pretty high, I'm sure).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

It's been ...a day here. Mr. S woke up in the middle of the night scared. Luckily Gary was able to calm him in his room. Of course, Nova was yowling at 4:30 this morning, so not a lot of sleep here.

Also, I had to go in to work to process samples this morning. Why do they keep starting patients on Friday of a holiday weekend, when they know that means timepoints on Saturday, Sunday and Monday?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think everyone I know in Colorado has posted the weeks forecast on the socials.

What is even happening?

Trudy, I'm so sorry to hear about your Aunt Carol. Peace to you, your mom, and your family. (I'm glad your mom is still being cautious.)

Teppy, you're doing the right thing with Tim's family gathering.

If we'd just handled this right from the outset, we'd be largely out of the woods now, and outdoor gatherings wouldn't make us blink. I remain completely angry about how the US has handled COVID-19 and how we're handling everything everything everything. It feels like there's no way out.

I didn't want my despair post to taint this.

>I make my stuffed mac & cheese (from scratch, 4 cheeses) with a layer in the pan, add a layer of smoked brisket, a layer of caramelized onions, then top it with more mac & cheese, a layer of cheese, and a layer of bread crumbs, then bake. It is tasty.

Vortex, that's art. My word, that sounds incredible.

Omg. I am so sweaty and tired. I got a recliner off Buy Nothing—she helped me get it into my car but I fought it all by myself to get it out of the car, up a flight of stairs, and then down another flight of stairs! (To be fair, it wasn't that big or heavy, mostly just awkward, but kinda heavy!). Whew. But not I have a recliner for my basement library room!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds like a lot of effort, but an excellent result!
