I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Our wings are not tired.

Also, I have realized that it is really hard to get a Covid test if you don’t drive, because everything is drive through.

That is how I have done mine, but my son went to a quick medical clinic place to have his done.

I had to share this with this group. You'll appreciate it.

HA! Awesome

We usually do Friendsgiving but I rented out the local skating rink for 2 hours on Thanksgiving Day. It may only be me, but I will skate and eat pizza.

I would love to come skate and eat pizza with you. Grand plan!

and it looks like I'm going to have to BUY A NEW PHONE because Authenticator says my device isn't compatible with the version they have

It seems to me if it is required for work they need to provide the phone too!

Askye, I hope both that your employer fixes that Thanksgiving schedule and that your noggin is better today.

I'm thinking of retiring after my next birthday. I'll be 70 and I've been working, pretty much non-stop, since I was 22 (I was off for two weeks before starting my current job ... in 1997).

Yes, I've been thinking about a date for that too. Maybe 70. 70 sounds right to me.

Smaller Thanksgiving for me this year. No kids. My MIL, SIL, BIL and a couple nephews. Maybe a couple other people, will know more tomorrow. I truly love having dozens, but not happening this year.

Big request to send all the ~ma my way today. Potential home buyers we met with last June are coming back. I'm sure they spent the summer exploring their options and most likely will make an offer. May it be an offer we can't refuse.

Welp, one of my nieces woke up with a fever and just tested positive for COVID-19. I hadn't seen them yet, so this is going to change our Thanksgiving plans significantly.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh shit.

Oh no, shrift! What a mess,

Doctor is advising that the rest of my sister's family not get tested if they are fully vaxxed unless they have symptoms. WTF? Whyyyyy.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

What the shit? Breakthrough Covid is a real thing, as is asymptomatic Covid. (Which you know, but I just need to express my frustration verbally.)

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

Oh no, shrift!

meara, that sounds pretty great!

Exactly my response, Steph. What the shit, indeed.

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

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, shrift.

Ugh. I woke up at 4:30 this morning for no apparent reason. Did the wake up, go back to sleep thing until Mr. S came in to our room just before 7. Why is my brain doing this?(Yesterday it was 5 something in the morning)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously, what the shit, shrift.
