Happy birthday, Fiona!

Ooh, that sounds good!
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

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

Our wings are not tired.
Yum! Enjoy what is left of your special day, and of course, the year to come. How are things going with you and yours?

Things are OK, thank you for asking! Mr. Fiona and I are a bit overworked, but that's par for the course (speaking of which, Mr. Fiona is playing a lot of golf). I'm still mostly teaching online but one of my classes is in person again this semester, thank goodness. Real live students, in the flesh!
B. finally got his ass in gear and has started a Zoology degree at the University of Bristol. C. did not get along with online learning during the Covid year At. All. and is repeating her previous grade year at a different school. I think she's finding the switch quite hard, but that's to be expected and it's still quite early days. Her parents are convinced it's the right choice for her.
Oh, and we've had two guinea pigs for about six months, and should be getting some garden chickens soon.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We've been requiring vax cards to eat indoors or go to movies for a while now.
NYC does this too, at all theaters and most restaurants.

I’m sorry Fiona are you saying one of your children is old enough to be in COLLEGE?!? That can’t be right.

Oh, B. will be twenty in a couple of months. Hard to believe, but true.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
They're generally not required in San Diego - signage usually says if you're vaxxed you don't have to mask, but no one is verifying. But at my fan convention 2 weeks ago (SD WhoCon represent!), we required vax card or negative test. One of our committee members refuses to get vaxxed and therefore couldn't (wouldn't) come. Tried to be all passive-aggressive at our (Zoom) committee meetings, "Well, if that's the rule, guess I won't be able to come...", apparently not realizing that this is leading to secret thoughts of, "Oh, thank goodness, you wingnut moron!"
