I'm glad Tim's lungs are looking better, Steph.
I just got back from the Eno Riverwalk—a series of paved and well-groomed trails along a river in a nearby town. It's a lovely day for it, and almost everyone I passed was wearing a mask.
There are cockroaches in Mexico big enough to own property.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Tim! Phew. Also glad your DP is OK, Jen.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yay, Tim!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay Tim!

What is even happening?
I'm glad you and Tim got good news, Teppy.
JenP, I'm glad DP is home. Tell him not to do that again.

Good news, Steph, and good for follow-up visit anyway.
We are getting Mexican take-in tonight, including Margarita Kit for Two, to celebrate week two of DP's new job. Er, we don't celebrate it every week... this just happens to be the two-week mark, so, yay.
ETA: Thanks for good DP wishes.

Hey celebrate whenever you want, girl.
I dropped puppy off at the groomer and went grocery shopping and basically bought everything bad for me. All I want. Feeling very down today for no particular reason. Just exhausted and achy and sad.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Quick 5-minute rolled oats recipe. While water is on the boil for tea: water in saucepan set to boil. Add dash of salt, broken walnut pieces, dried cranberries, cinnamon, and brown sugar (to taste) stir in oats. Make tea, simmer oats, stirring occasionally, five minutes, or more if you like them softer. Spoon into bowls, add a scrape of actual unsalted butter, top with a splash of almond milk or half & half. Serve.
Caution: it's very lumpy and textured, but we like it that way.
Yay for Tim and Jen's DP! And also Laura's DH getting on the health wagon!
I am an advocate for breakfast pie. Also? fried fruit-filled hand pies, crust sprinkled with whatever spices go with the fruit. Apple=cinnamon, peach=ginger, cherry=a little anise and cardamom, etc.
I dislike cornmeal, in general. But we do the trad buckwheat pancakes and they're quite tasty. Mmm, breakfast.
Good luck with the job app, Consuela.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am currently sitting outside the ER while DP is in getting assessed
Must have been the day for ER visits. I spent the night at the ER. 10:30pm - 8am. GI virus or food poisoning, unclear. running 102 - 102.7 fever. I took 2 bags of saline and got meds that finally stopped the waves of nausea.
They did not do a COVID test, but I had an appt with the city testing at 9:15, so I went from the hospital to that and should have results in 3-5 days.
Fever still not broke. On clear liquids. SO hungry, but everything sounds awful and I know would not cooperate with my innerds at the moment. So water, broth and tea.
