I'm so sorry, askye. This fucking year.

Here's a change of pace; the most American video ever. It has a happy ending! [link]

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm so sorry, askye.

Which makes me smile that they can build that kind of relationship and support system.

This is really lovely. I was very lucky that my parents loved me more than divorce conflict. My family has also kept my ex-aunt-in-law as family. Life is so much better when people can either co-exist or leave the other's orbit.

the most American video ever.

There is a fast-Mexican place called Berto's when they stop for lunch. The Southern California in me is laughing. I'm only about five minutes in...

I am supposed to be driving up to Sacramento today, and to Portland tomorrow. But although I was worried about the possibility of i5 being closed in Northern California or Oregon, i did not anticipate it being closed north of Los Angeles!! Trying to figure best alternate route. Geez!

Oh, wow, meara! Time for a scenic drive up the 101?


meara - Dec 30, 2021 7:52:01 am PST #11769 of 30000

I contemplated that but seems like it would be even long to drive up 101 and then over to Sacramento?

It is pretty slow going, as I recall, and not really the direction you want. You could cut over after you got past the Grapevine, though. Going east first might be better, although it'd be harder to avoid possible closures. Depends on how bad the snow is, I guess. Good luck!

Also, I have been looking at a meeting on my calendar this afternoon all week thinking the person who scheduled it (not me, for once) was not thinking straight and she just moved it to next week. Whew!

Thrive to spite them

And I've been not feeling great and kinda like I had a uti but deluding myself that it was just a painful bladder syndrome reaction to some things I ate.

No it's got to be a uti. I am not going to call me new Dr because I need to see someone before the 1st before my deductible rolls over . So now I'm waiting for Matthew to get up to drive me to the Urgent care .

Our sleep schedules are all messed up so I've also been missing taking my medicine and have to fix that . I'm not napping during the day but I have had some brain fog or just felt tired and then at night I can't sleep until 4 am or something and then I sleep through my alarm for my meds...

I'm sorry askye.

I found out one of my cousins at the Christmas gathering last week tested positive. On the upside she's already tested negative, so hopefully she wasn't too contagious by the time we saw her, and Mom and I were wearing masks whenever an immunocompromised cousin-in-law was near. (Said cousin-in-law is my biggest worry, as she stayed in the same house.) We're keeping an eye out for symptoms this next week though.
