I think I just need to have radical acceptance that this will happen and it will be terrible. I feel like I am stuck being David in an eternal loop of “fold in the cheese” from Schitts Creek.
I am glad you are testing negative.

I'm sorry about the shitstorm, Sophia, it does seem inevitable. Although it also seems very preventable if other people would just be sensible, which is even more frustrating.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh Sophia, good luck with all that. Just FOLD in the cheese.
I'm trying to get my old computer ready to bring in for them to transfer the data onto my new computer I am buying, and I can't figure out the password. IT people can get past that, right? Argh.

Sophia, we cannot show you everything.

ltc is at my inlaws house for two days! She woke up before 6 AM for them, and we slept in until 10:30. She is having so much fun that she could barely spare us 5 minutes on the phone.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
How has this meeting already lasted 15 minutes?!?
It seems like we got through the family wedding and Christmas celebrations mostly unscathed. One person tested positive a week later, but no one else in her family, including kids.
I have such mixed feelings about it all. Was it a bad idea to have these gatherings? Probably. But it was also important to gather the family together. I'm angry that I missed two years in the lives of my parents and relatives. And the day after we got there, my parents had to put their dog to sleep, so we missed the last two years of her life when she was mostly healthy. (Sad animal news white-fonted)
Really pissed about all of that. Everything is such a fucking mess.

That's fair. Um, you being angry, I mean, not the meeting. I doubt the meeting's existence is in any way fair.

Can you show me one thing!?!

Yeah... everything is a lot right now. Virtual... whatever-you-wants all around.
We just canceled our NYE plans (just having two friends over for dinner), because all four of us have been out and about to various degrees, and... just not worth it. I'm going to test tomorrow if I can find an appointment, just given that I was really doing more than I should have during the break -- for my own reassurance and so that I can let anyone know if I need to. Feel fine, but... yeah.
My pandemic game night group is going to do a NYE call now. Sort of free form. We'll see how it goes! But no one's really doing anything this year anymore, for the most part, so why not.

My NYE plans are to spend it in my pajamas reading Yuletide and watching weird, queer shit. Assuming my flights don't get cancelled.
I should clarify that I'm grateful for the opportunity to be tired of spending time with my family. I say this as I'm helping my father set up all his accounts again after he panicked and deleted all his saved usernames and passwords.
