I've also been unpleasantly surprised by some who I thought would know better.
I have friendly acquaintances who fall into this category and I am really sad about them. Worse with family, I would guess.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Our wings are not tired.
One of my SIL's closest friends, who argues with DH very very often about all things anti-vax, pro-Trump, and any other lack of sanity subjects was moved to the ICU today. First, she had posted about being Covid positive, then a couple of days later posted, "on top of that now I have pneumonia" like it was somehow unrelated, now in ICU. The woman is an ambulance dispatcher, and not stupid otherwise, but ugh grr. I really don't want her to die, but I am so frustrated with people who take no responsibility and of course infect others. When she recovers, which I sincerely hope will happen soon, I have zero doubt she will say it was no big deal and now she is all immunized.
Totally stressed about my to-do list, so I am taking a break to watch a bit of junk tv.

Good lord. If this downpour keeps up, I may be taking a taxi to my follow up podiatrist appointment so I don't get completely soaked waiting for the bus.

Some were on the Board asking about color wheels for holiday trees. I saw something in a store window that outdoes those - it's a white fiber optic tree that flashes various bright pastel colors. Kind of like this ... only it seemed more so.

In slightly less terrible news, non-surgical treatments for my feets are working and I'm in agreement with my doctor that surgery isn't necessary given my current level of pain.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay for no shrift surgery!
My car is finally ready. (I'm actually going to pick it up Wed. morning before we bring Sam to school and go to Worldcon in DC) My credit card bill next month is going to be ugly.

Right the fuck on! I should get on the podiatry thing.
