My SIL had a drive by baby shower, and my niece had a virtual one. I did point those out since they participated in both, but it was rejected.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That must be hard, msbelle.

I'm sorry, msbelle.
My sister has moved up her retirement date and now only has 3 weeks of work left. I'm pretty jealous, I have to admit.

My sister retired in February this year. She planned on being able to go places and do things. Yeah. A couple weeks after she retired they went WFH. She has regrets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, that is rough, msbelle.
I am also proactively sad and/or worried about holidays, although I just heard the amazing plan my church's music director has come up with for a pre-recorded service that is as over-the-top as the in-person services usually are. But what about seeing family?? I'm afraid there's just no way.
Unless we all actually quarantine in advance? That could actually work, maybe.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
For Thanksgiving, my family's plan is that we all quarantine in advance (which we're basically all doing anyway). Still trying to figure out the safest way to get from Cincinnati to NJ, though -- I'll probably have to stop at a hotel for one night in the middle of the drive, though I might be able to do the drive in one day.

ltc is going to freak out about Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm trying not to think about it. She's home with a slight fever today, no sign that it is Covid, so I'm trying to stay calm.

We had a BIG Thanksgiving gathering for my dad's side of the family in Kentucky last year, so I think we'll be good just doing Mom & me this year. Christmas with my cosuins is most likely on as usual, we'll just be careful. (Luckily the two households with children each have a smart medical professional, so I think they'll be as safe as humanly possible to share a meal with.)

ltc is having cheese and crackers for lunch and I'm having a frozen burrito.
