I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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

Happy New Year most constant invisible friends!

I do not have covid!

Also, dang. I got my test at 4:30 on Friday and had my result at 5:30AM today. I really hope CVS (or Quest or whoever) isn't working people to death.

Yay not having covid!!!

I am very grateful for over 20 years of invisible friends.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am glad you don’t have Covid, Dana!

I don’t think I commented but that drive sounded like hell, meara.

Happy New Year Buffistas!

I had the worlds most boring two weeks off- I didn’t do anything I meant to, drank too much wine, and crocheted and listened to podcasts. But I still don’t want to go back to work because I will have to face the Covid 19 booster shitshow and so much work. Unfortunately my reaction to too much work is often a freeze response and I just spin helplessly.

Yay, no Covid and 20 year blinvisible friends.

Quiet day here. And gray. Sitting in front of my happy light at the moment. I think we'll take a walk later -- it's supposed to be mid-60s.

10 days past our Christmas gathering and not a symptom in sight, so I guess I didn't catch the 'Rona. (I've held off testing in the absence of symptoms, just kept my distance and masked up.)

A round of No 'Rona for my friends!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed they don't close the schools or go back to online for a few weeks.

At the same time, I'm thinking of rescheduling some things from next week to a few weeks out, as I'm hoping for the quick surge/quick slope to Omicron rollercoaster.

Hmmm, I'm really craving poached eggs over hash this morning but not sure what I've got that's I can make a decent hash out of. "I'll make a hash of it!" implies that fucking it up is the proper approach so maybe I'll root around in the crisper.
