I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Happy days Theo and Jesse.

I am NOT ready to go back to work tomorrow. I am still in the sit and knit mindset and would like that to continue. But, I am doing things to help make tomorrow a success. Iced coffee is made, apple crisp and some chicken are ready for breakfast. Lunch is made and ready to go. Outfit is laid out.

Happy Birthday, Jesse and Theo!

We just ate yum takeout from a great Korean place. I think we're going to watch Encanta now-ish. Lovely day.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Happy Birthdays, Jesse and Theo!

It was a weird Christmas yesterday, largely because things are so fraught with Tim's dad's health. Tim visited him for much longer than he had planned, which meant we got to his family's Christmas dinner at 8 instead of 6 (no one cared, of course, because they totally understand everything that's going on). So we missed some family members who had to leave early, but sometimes that's how it goes. We ended up visiting with Tim's brother and SiL (the hosts) and nephew until about midnight, though, which was lovely. Still just a weird day.

I have a sinus infection from hell and feel like hot garbage, so that didn't help, either. But I did an online e-visit with a doctor in my primary care physician's practice, and I have antibiotics, so hopefully I'll start feeling better in a few days. I also have a biopsy Tuesday morning for something that's 99% sure to be benign, but, you know, I don't like being poked with needles and I don't like the nonzero chance that it isn't benign. Bah.

But! Holy shit, for Christmas my brother got me a Captain America hoodie and the hood is the cowl, eyeholes and all. It's perfect. I'll post a picture on Facebook once I dig it out of the bag I stashed it in. (Not 10 minutes after I opened it and tried it on [and then put it back in the bag], my mom said something to me and addressed me as "Batgirl," and I just sputtered and said "Bat...how can you confuse...how...how...Captain America and Batgirl are vastly different! How can you..." until Tim interrupted and said "You should probably let this one go.") (In retrospect, I think my mom was trolling me, but I can't be sure.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is it like, old-fashioned Cap? I have one of those, and without the hood, my mother thought it was the Puerto Rican flag!

Our wings are not tired.

Today we celebrate the birth of amyparker! Happy birthday! I hope you have a beautiful day filled with love and treats.

Super cool, Steph. Yes, I am going to go with it being a mom trolling event.

Bracing myself for the Monday after holiday work deluge. It is always 3x the work on Monday mornings, but after a long weekend, oh the multiplier seems to work against me. Coffee being ingested now. Run to surgical center to get covid test at 10, but since I haven't been anywhere or done anything that should be fine.

Nice! The one I have is less techy, so just the star/stripes, so you can see where she got confused. [link]

Oh DCP, even under simpler circumstances losing loved ones at Chrismas is so hard. My condolences.
