Happy New Year most constant invisible friends!
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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

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.

Happy gnu ears all!
I also skippy-skipped through a bunch of posts, but enough to feel fairly caught up. Gonna do better in 2022!
I watched Consuela's off-road towing video, which was wonderful -- nice to see a dicey situation resolved with attention to safety. Reminds me of a guy I know who retired from the Navy to become a backcountry EMT -- his wife remarked that while he was an adrenaline junkie, at least he channelled it in a useful manner.
At work (assisted living) we've had a couple Covid cases, including two direct coworkers of mine who had to go home to quarantine in the middle of Thursday! We're testing twice a week until there are no new cases.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Good news: I made that hash.
Today seems to want to be particularly dreary. It's that post-holiday hangover times the Sunday before work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy new year, all!
Good news, Dana! Apparently no one I was at church with on Christmas Eve has covid, which is amazing to me.
