Ugh Sophia, good luck with all that. Just FOLD in the cheese.
Sophia, we cannot show you everything.
I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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.

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.

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

Gold ticket straight to heaven!
I forgot to mention, that we got to see Maria and her beau on Boxing Day. Tried to get into Zazie but it was an hour wait so slid over to the Boulangerie where we had Croque Monsieur and went tromping off in an intermittent drizzle. Showed them Haight Street, and then a walk through the Panhandle. Down to Divisadero and those shops and back. Brought them home to dry them of and introduced them to the Boulevardier cocktail.
It was a shock to realize I haven't seen her in 8 years!! 2013 - that was a different world. We'll see them again before they head back.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

AGREED.
I'm also impressed that apparently no one in my church choir or family has covid this week.
