I am so sorry Calli.
Buffy: Dancing with you is way better than trying to hook up with some good-looking guy. Xander: I think I liked it more when you were kicking me in my puffy groin.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm so sorry, Calli.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm so sorry, Calli. That's so hard, to be guessing at what happened. Not that it's much better to know how/why you have lost someone, but not knowing is it's own kind of burden.

I'm so sorry, Calli.

{{{{{msbelle and Calli|}}}}}, I'm so very sorry for your losses.
As much as I don't wish COVID or its consequences on almost anyone (and even then, only as an educational aid, not as a death sentence), a part of me can't help but wonder if long COVID will effect design of environments and protocols for better accessibility, just because there will be more people with disabilities around.
I have been thinking about that a lot too, as well as being filled with rage that accommodations really were more possible and people just didn't want to do them.

I wish I was better at healthy coping methods. Not really drinking and eating too much, but so non-functional. Much of my day is now spent on Microsoft Sudoku, or crosswords. No productive focus.
In the past six months I have spent more time playing solitaire than I ever should have.

The closest thing I have to a healthy coping mechanism is probably reading books, other than that it's all food, shopping, and endless amounts of computer/phone time.

What is even happening?
I'm so sorry for your losses, Calli and msbelle.
Toddson, I so enjoyed that Catherine Tate/David Tennant sketch. Thank you for sharing it.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
mabelle, Calli, I'm so sorry.

Almost all I do in my free time is read fanfic. Although I did have a burst last week of playing Plants vs Zombies on the iPad.
