Suzi, I'm so very sorry about your dad. I can't wait to see baby pictures!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

So, my county recently moved up a tier in California's reopening plan (to red, which is apparently better than purple, this is all pretty confusing) which means movie theaters could open if they stayed there for some amount of time (I think. Like I said, confusing). I wasn't paying too close attention but I happened to check my local cinema this past weekend and it had movies Now Playing! So I kind of idly pondered whether I would want to (a)see any of those movies on the big screen or (b) sit in a theater under the conditions outlined in their safety protocols. Today I get an email from my the company that owns that particular theater saying they are temporarily suspending operations close of business tomorrow. So I guess that is not a decision I actually have to make.

What is even happening?

Boston schools had to push their in-person reopening (for hybrid learning for students w/out special needs) from October 15th to at least October 22, because the positive test rate in the city is now 4.1%. [link]

I have to go get my flu shot. I keep forgetting. My youngest son got his yesterday, during his annual physical. I'm going to drag my husband and daughter with me. Our oldest son has his own place again, so I'll have to nag him via text.

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

Timelies all!

Hugs to all who need/want them.

Well, crap. I'm running a slight fever again. Pretty tired of this.

Our wings are not tired.

You need to give yourself TIME to get better, Gud. Get to a doctor and take time off, in bed, resting and recovering. Go to the ER if that is what it takes. If you don't give it the time you will continue to relapse.

Gud, sorry for skipping or skimming, but did you get tested for COVID?

I have some weird eye infection, which I think is sort of an indirect effect of quarantine (not wearing makeup leads to somewhat sloppy nighttime routine and less face-washing, leading to infected eyelash follicle). It's pretty uncomfortable and is giving me a headache, so I'm taking the day off. Which is weird because it's just like a work day except I'm not working. But I'm still drinking tea and reading my laptop.

I've been tested for COVID a couple of times and have been negative.
