People who want longer days in the winter need to move to Florida! We have the extra daylight time! Okay, our politics seriously suck, but if more sane people move here we can overcome.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Laura, I wish I could find a doctor like the one you described. I had one like that in Minneapolis, and I loved her. It's strangely hard for me to find one like that here in SF.
Hugs to all that need it. I've been trying to get a COVID vax appointment for Peanut for the last hour, and it's an exercise in frustration. The closest appointments are a full neighborhood away and 2 weeks away, and I'd really like to get her started ASAP & close to home (for comforting purposes). But she & I will be getting our flu vax today, so we've got that going for us.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just made one for Aeryn on the 20th at a pharmacy half an hour away because everything else was booked. I'm really hoping our school district is able to organize a vaccine clinic for the elementary students like they did for 12+ a few months ago so I can cancel it!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've got to figure vax appts for kids will open up in a couple of weeks like they did for adults, right? Not that that is much consolation for families who have already been waiting all year.
I've been "sleeping" in my lounge chair an hour or two at a time for a while now because apparently my bed is lava
OMG, Beverly, that sounds so awful. Glad you got some good doctoring.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We got an appointment for Mr. S for Wednesday for his first COVID shot.
The hits keep coming. The hinge on one arm of my glasses broke. Luckily we were in the same shopping center as my eyeglasses place, and they found a new frame to put my lenses in. Still cost me $170…
Also, our nanny told us that she’s moving out of state at the end of the month, so we have to find a new one. It’s going to be a tough transition for Mr. S as they have a good rapport.

Eeep on the glasses, and a bigger eeep for poor Mr. S. It will be a tough time. I do hope you can find someone quickly that will click with him.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
So very happy for you, Bev! And vibing hard that having almost a month's notice will be enough for you to find another good match for Mr. S.
Digits crossed for easy appointmentation for all the remaining younger Buffista sproggins. Matilda is all Pfizered up, and a couple of days ago she started bugging me all on her own about a flu vaccine, so now she has an appointment at the neighborhood Walgreens for Wednesday. I'm both joyful for her and kind of flummoxed--between this, navigating the City, and sailing smoothly back into regular socializing with what appears to be a group of really lovely young adults, I feel like she's more mature, grounded and competent at 15 than I was at 25 and I'm not sure she needs me for anything but the routine things that come up when one isn't yet a legal adult.

Yikes good luck finding a new nanny, Sheryl!!
I spent the evening playing board games with some friends and found out one only has a prescription in one eye of her glasses. So we promptly tried to convince her she really needs a monocle. Impractical, sure, but awesome?
Also my dog is being weird lately and I can’t tell why. Sick? Learning bad habits? I’m taking less good care of him? I don’t know!!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My dogs are angels and let me sleep in, but....Miley is having incontinence in her sleep again and her diaper came off while she was in my bed. So laundry today.
the itchy is somewhat better but still get really itchy when the benedryl and steroid cream wear off.
today I'm hoping to clean some, knit some, and cook some.

I'm sorry to hear the itchy is hanging on so long.
Today is family day. Brendon's brother and a friend come most Sundays to shoot pool with him. I'll wait until they get here around noon to discuss Thanksgiving plans with them. It's a keto T'day for DH and me, but others are welcome to bring whatever bready and/or sugary stuff they want. The keto stuffing, butter tarts, and pumpkin cheesecake bites will be an interesting experiment. After noon I will head to see my MIL and bring her a TV for her bedroom and visit a bit since I haven't seen her since Spring. Then we will go together to SIL's house to see her and her family around dinner time. Then home! I plan to have a good swim before heading out.
