'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

The guy was being treated for Hodgkin's, which involved killing off his immune system and replacing it with new blood marrow -- and the donor had genes known to protect against HIV. So in order to get cured, he had to be nearly killed.

Here's a WashPost story that covers it much better than I can: [link]

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Susan Butcher in the early 90s.

I have met her! Multiple times! She's so awesome. Were I more outdoorsy, I would have tried to follow in her footsteps.

Sheryl, I have avoided play dates at the house so far for just that reason.

Since there is zero chance of getting to see Captain Marvel this weekend, I picked up Ant Man and the Wasp at the library so that I'll at least be caught up on the Marvel Cinematic Universe when I do see it.

After failing hard at being social, I'm going to a live Dear Prudence podcast tonight, going to Captain Marvel tomorrow night, and Captain Marvel again on Saturday afternoon. This might be a bit Much.

I don't count Lyft driving as being particularly Social, even though sometimes I have some delightful conversations or get to hear stuff or whatever.

But this week I have: gone to a services orientation at the employment center on Monday, spent most of the day yesterday tramping around Old Sturbridge Village with a friend visiting, and tomorrow I go to another, hopefully useful 2 hour class on Writing Your Resume at the same center.

That's about 300% more social than usual for me.

Oh, and today I got fitted for a bra, which dammit should count as social because the saleswoman was very nice about it and actually found something that fits my odd (if perfectly functional) torso.

So make that 400%.

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

Way to go, Theo!

I hope it's all fun, shrift, and not just Too Much.

Almost done with my one day of work this week. I do not recommend this method of taking time off, btw.
