That's fair. Um, you being angry, I mean, not the meeting. I doubt the meeting's existence is in any way fair.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Ugh Sophia, good luck with all that. Just FOLD in the cheese.
Sophia, we cannot show you everything.
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.

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.
Really pissed about all of that. Everything is such a fucking mess.
AGREED.
I'm also impressed that apparently no one in my church choir or family has covid this week.

I was just thinking about Maria and hoping she was doing well.

Thrive to spite them
I got a text from Mom. My cousin J has been moved to hospice. He has had another series of strokes and his body is shutting down. I said something about the rehab place being the reason and she said it was ...complicated.. but couldn't talk at the moment because my aunt was right there.
I don't know if J's son will get to see him before he dies. I hate this past year. I really really hate it.
