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.

If you need help on January 20th, remember that Canadians did try to burn down the White House once, and we'd be happy to smoke Trump out for you.

Sue, that is a very generous offer; thank you. I find I quite like James A. Corey's suggestion that we could wipe out the national debt by raffling tickets to frogmarch the Cheeto Vulgarian out, at $100 a pop, though given the tweets from Whole Man Disposal Services the non-sick members of the Secret Service may have arranged for prepaid pickup.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

The next time we visited, I tried again, and explained why we shouldn't talk while hugging. These weren't long hugs, where you finally have to say something -- just a mere few seconds. She still talked.

No hugs for you, mom.

The couple of times I've seen my dad* in person in the past couple of months, he always goes in for a hug, and I always have to step back and say "You work in a grocery store! Which is your choice, but it makes you a no-hug person."

*Remember the whole deal with my dad having hallucinations and whatnot? He told me yesterday that he hasn't had one in 2 or 3 weeks, so it seems that it was the Ambien that was making him see people. I'm SO relieved! Also, we were talking about a Covid vaccine, and how it'll no doubt be rolled out in tiers, like to healthcare professionals before anyone else, and he piped up, in a really chipper tone of voice, with "And then high-risk people...and there's nobody higher-risk than me!" So he's got a pretty good grasp on reality right now, and a pretty good attitude about it, too, so that's good. (Although we have not and will not discuss the election, because my blood pressure can't take it.)

has willpower for approximately 10 seconds, clicks the link

Your willpower may be in luck because it looks mostly sold out now, which is wasn't this AM.

It's a good idea.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I felt a nudge in the Amy/Aimee Force.

What's up, party people?!!?

I'd pay more to watch that than I paid for Hamilton tickets!

And there's our Empress.

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

Timelies all!

Ugh. Woke up three times this morning before I had to get up to medicate Nova. The first two times were for no apparent reason, though the third time was Nova declaring cat o'clock.

Hello, friends. {{{hugs}}} It's good to be with you all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If you need help on January 20th, remember that Canadians did try to burn down the White House once, and we'd be happy to smoke Trump out for you.

Thanks, Sue!! And I hear you re: driving. Am more glad than ever to live downstairs from my mother.

Remember the whole deal with my dad having hallucinations and whatnot? He told me yesterday that he hasn't had one in 2 or 3 weeks, so it seems that it was the Ambien that was making him see people. I'm SO relieved!

Hey, is this a good news? I am having trouble recognizing it.
