Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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

It's basically this one: [link]

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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

Happy Birthday, amyparker!

More holiday chilling today. Picking up hogies for lunch, going over to visit and have dinner with DP's mom tonight. We go home tomorrow.

I got a travel watercolor kit for Christmas, which made me think of Lori... and also made me think I need to take some lessons, ha!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

dcp, I think you made the right call. Sincere condolences for your loss.. my Dad died just before Thanksgiving lo these many years ago, and it still flavors the holiday for me.

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

Ugh today y’all.

My left side, shingles vax sore arm, hip and shoulder muscles tight- might be related. Anyway that side of the body is a mood of FUCK YOU! today.

I’m in the office, no one else here in my immediate office and really not too many requests and items coming in so I am able to get done things off my list from Thursday, but…..

I keep almost crying… like, for why?!?

Wtf body?!?! Hormones??? I don’t even know.

So I am breaking down the tasks I need to do into single steps and just trying to do one thing at a time. I can tell I will lose it if I get multiple requests at the same time.

Do. Not. Like.

Do. Not. Recommend.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Woohoo, flight home tonight is already delayed 20 minutes. Last night, the same flight was 1.5 hours late, which will result in us getting home after midnight.

Well, my decision to isolate and not socialize with family was the right one. (I did visit with MIL without hugs although we are all vaccinated) Anyway, SIL and her 1 & 8 year old sons, and almost surely her husband all have Covid. Kids are spiking high fevers, she is sick. MIL is a wreck with worry. I haven't talked to SIL myself because I can't be civil right now. Her busiest week of the year, and guess what, can't go to work now. I have steam coming out of my ears. Just talked to DH and he is calling his mother to make reassuring sounds that kids recover and SIL is healthy, etc. and grrrr. I know her husband won't ever agree to get tested, or treated, but she did say she was going to the doctor. MIL did go to a gathering with her Christmas evening, but she at least was masked. She is feeling fine and vaccinated.

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

Timelies all!

Mr. started feeling sick last night.(Sore throat, nasal congestion, fever.) Didn't even want to eat much. Fell asleep early. Gary took him to the doctor this afternoon, where they did a COVID test. Hopefully it will be negative.
