All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Soothing and healthy vibes to everyone!

My assistant may be stuck in Seattle tonight and all our remaining performances of ACC are cancelled but I'm back to work with my crew at 8am tomorrow! Oy. I think the next month of work is going to be a big ball of tension.

Yikes, so many health issues.

Stay safe everyone!

My brother the ID doc says omicron is "like water", it's just everywhere. And the existing at-home tests have a lot of false negatives. So testing multiple times is good except people can't get the tests. Argh.

I'm parked on my couch for the week, although I think the new CDC guidance says I could go to work bcz I'm asymptomatic and triply vaxxed. But seriously I am not going to do that until after I get tested.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am in an Uber on the way home. I know they're evil, but they were half the price of Lyft and I am tired.

Husband just started a vaccine convo with the driver. I may need to murder him.

Oh dear, Dana.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

So, unexpected outcome at the OB/GYN: the issue that necessitated the biopsy has healed so well (with a new treatment) over the past 2 weeks that the OB/GYN said she didn't think a biopsy was necessary today and wants to see me again in a month to check it. She was actually speechless for a minute; I said "I think it's improved over the past 2 weeks," and she checked and did an actual double-take. She said it looks like it's healed about 90%, so it's entirely possible I had just needed the new treatment.

Anyway, I didn't have to have needles where needles should never be, so that along with Wow Check Out Your Healing Factor is my big win for today.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

That is a big win, Steph! Yay Healing Powers!

Sending the ~ma to Laura, and anyone else who needs it.

Jane tested positive this morning, and since the four of us are stuck in a car together for the next two days, I'm assuming both Mark and I will have it too by the time we get home. Luckily we're all vaxxed to the max, and so far it just seems like an annoying cold; in fact, Rose is already feeling better. (I did buy a pulse oximeter just in case, though, because why not.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I want to type hugs, but my iPad Keyboard seems to have died and I hate the keyboard on the iPad itself.

But much COVID ma to Kate and family, Sheryl’s kiddo and family, Laura’s friend, Cindy’s son and girlfriend, and everyone else.

Also, I was going to give Steph biopsy ma, but yay! Good news!

I am listening to Buffering the Vampire Slayer-a special on Tara’s death and another on Spike/Buffy rape, and I had totally forgotten that they were both in the same episode. It kind of makes me angry all over again, because it feels like they just slapped 2 groups of fans dreams down, and also shot it really oddly.

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

Glad to hear that, Tep!

Huh, I had forgotten those were in the same episode, too, Sophia. They feel so separate, somehow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Anyway, I didn't have to have needles where needles should never be, so that along with Wow Check Out Your Healing Factor is my big win for today.

Huzzah!

Jane tested positive this morning, and since the four of us are stuck in a car together for the next two days, I'm assuming both Mark and I will have it too by the time we get home

Hoping for the best!
