You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Our wings are not tired.

Thanks for the validation, my friends. Here's the review, btw [link] M thinks she remembers the reviewer now and that she (M) was flirty with the guy the reviewer was with...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

God, I hate everything. How are people even functioning?

Yeah, I get that. There is a lot to hate.

I've adulted today, well more accurately agreed to adult next Tuesday. I agreed to let my PCP give me the Shingles vaccine. I'm 65 and had chicken pox as a kid so my chances are really pretty good that I'll get it eventually, and don't wanna. I haven't had a vaccine since the 60s! So expect me to cry and whine on Tuesday. I'm even paying for it since I have no Rx coverage, mostly because I don't take any prescription meds. Medicare doesn't cover the vaccine, but they will cover the visit and lab work and all the other crap they will do to me. Upside, you won't have to hear me cry about getting shingles!

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

Timelies all!

Back from our meeting, where some ideas were brought up for dealing with Mr. S. Meanwhile, he was hitting, spitting at and pulling the hair of the person who was watching him. Why he's behaving so badly I don't know.

Avoiding shingles is good!!

I have landed from France, in Vancouver. Now to get to my next flight. And stay awake.

You have more reason than many for that right now, Dana. If that's any comfort.

Oh, man, Sheryl. Good luck with that.

Got my boobs squished this morning, whee. Why can't they use something like the magical X-ray that zooms around around your head at the dentist to scan? I would take that over jet packs, I think.

I thought at first you were telling me I had a lot more reasons to be functional, which I am willing to admit is true. But I think the way you intended it is more comforting.

Husband is coming out of his virus-induced exhaustion. I am going back and forth with the airline, who insist on having our bank account info before they decide if they owe us money.

You actually can develop shingles after getting vaccinated (my mom did), but it supposedly makes outbreaks less severe if it can't prevent them entirely.

When I got ready to leave for work this morning I discovered someone had gotten in my car and rifled through its contents last night. Apparently they only took the 20¢ or so in pennies scattered through the interior, and left my spare glasses, my car emergency kit, and the window cracker tool on my front seats. I guess leaving it unlocked to avoid setting off the alarm in the mornings worked to my advantage and saved me from having to replace another window.
