My fortune cookie fortune is "Improve your finances, improve your life" and on the back is a QR code for a "get rich smart app". I don't like any of this.

Eta: the cookie tastes good, though

Oh, dad of Tep. I do hope he stays feeling ok, as well as remembers to stay away from people. Jeesh.

This.

Too many people getting breakthrough infections. My 11 yo nephew had a friend stay over this past weekend (both vaccinated), and the friend is now positive. My sister took the boys so she was in a tiny car with both of them too. She and nephew will test tomorrow since it would be 5 days. In the meantime both isolating anyway.

Yay Botox! I really hope it does the trick for you. I'd try it for my clenching, but I keep telling myself I should really do the other list of stuff I should try first.

Also, Woot! Mitch ball kicking party sounds like a most excellent time for all with souls.

eta: I'd get a refund on that fortune cookie! That ain't right.

Too many people getting breakthrough infections.

I can't believe how many people I know [glaring at Tim] who've tested positive in the past month since Christmas. I think all of the people I know who've gotten breakthrough infections are fully vaxed, though, and have/had only minor symptoms, which means, hey! the vaccine is fucking WORKING.

And my sister also told me my 40 something yo nephew and his girlfriend both have covid too. Both vaccinated. She found out when she was at the hospital for another issue and then he tested and found he did too. I hate this crap. Both he and GF has serious health issues.

My neighbor just told me he has COVID. He works at a grocery store, so he's vaccinated and only has "annoying cold" symptoms. But he'd be much happier if everyone had gotten on board with vaccination so he'd have been far less likely to be exposed to it to begin with.

As would we all.

Calli if you can work remotely why not see if they’ll let you move to Michigan?

Yeah, I'm going to float that idea in my stay interview. I mean, if they'd let me work from MI I'd be happy to stay with this job forever.

That does sound ideal, Calli. When is the stay interview?

I know that Alibelle got COVID a few weeks ago, and was fully vaxxed and boosted and also has been barely social. Her case was mild and fluish.

And Amy Garvey had a positive test this weekend. She's also vaxxed and boosted.

ETA: Oh, and Sean and his gf both have it.

It does seem to be past its peak in the Bay Area. Matilda just got boosted on Saturday and I don't know how she dodged getting it in school over the last few weeks.

Timelies all!

Sorry for all the folks testing positive for COVID. So far, so good here...

I just checked in and Alibelle is free from disease and isolation and went out for the first time in 21 days (to a Starbucks drive through and immediately back home). But she's feeling fine.

Amy is very tired and headachey.

I got three notices for exposure in my workplace (which I haven't been to so I wasn't exposed) recently, which is more at one time than I've seen in a while. I also was told that my county has the highest rate of infection in the state. So, continuing to stay at home, inside and alone, as much as possible. Which is quite a lot of the time when you are me.
