Skipping school is a way better birthday present than omicron.

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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Pix, that is a lot to deal with.
I had a yearly eye checkup tomorrow and I called to move it back by a month because it’s not an appointment for an urgent issue, and weighing that against potential Covid exposure was an easy decision. The guy on the phone told me all about having Covid in November, and we compared symptoms, and long story short, I think we’re BFFs now.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry askye.
It snowed here. Still had to go in to work, as I'm an essential employee.(Basically the fed government said that those who could telework, should. I can't) There was one other person in the lab besides me. There was supposed to be one other, but she didn't come in. Luckily the workload was pretty light.

I’m sorry, askye.
Nothing much~ma for the lump, Pix. I hope your coworker comes through ok.
My university is going remote until January 18, in the hope that the Omicron surge will have peaked by then. I start back (from my living room) tomorrow. It’s been a nice break, although I could have lived with not spending half of it with a cold (apparently not COVID, though, so at least there’s that).

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
We are still planning in person orientation January 6. I do not know how long this will last.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
One of my favorite residents died (in a rehab care place) the same day that Betty White did, but I didn't find out until this morning. She was 93 and very frail, so while it's not tragic, it's still sad. Part of the job, I know, but still.
But at least two other residents came back from hospitalization today. And only one resident is on Covid isolation (not quarantine -- so not an active infection) so overall the situation seems under control.
On the up side, I got another favored resident out to get his glasses repaired. Found a convenient parking space in Harvard Square just around the corner, too -- and then I was able to get my own glasses repaired, because a teensy screw came loose over the weekend.
Still, it was a day that I kept paddling as fast as I could.

And you did it!
