When everything else is so noisy, it's hard to hear what's going on in your head.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh a bright spot. Work just gave us all off for Christmas Eve.

{{hugs}} to everyone who needs them. This fucking year.
I'm mostly doing okay, but I am worried about a lot of people, both those I know and those I don't. The fuckers in the Senate apparently want people to be evicted after Jan 1, and they are this close to shutting down the government again.
We had our first covid case in the office last week, and it turns out the guy was there the same day I was. But I never saw him, never spoke to him, and it's been ten days. So I guess I'm fine?
I will say that I don't know how single people without pets are able to get through this year. The Boss has been a life-saver, although she does bark far too much.

I am feeling very "need to do things for other (aka get outta your own head)" so if anyone on here is in need of an online shopper assistant LET ME KNOW. Ideally I would be able to find local merchants in whatever town the gift is needed that could 1) deliver, 2) hold for pick-up , or 3) mail (local has to be better than cross country).
This need not be Holiday related - you need something - you want something.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
when I finally went to the grocery store yesterday, I nearly had a panic attack because people were not respecting even one foot of distance let alone six.
I got really twitchy about how many people were in the waiting room when I went to get my physical this morning. (Honestly, everyone was spaced 6 feet apart or more, but it just felt like a lot of people. Plus, doctor's offices are where sick people go! One dude was talking to the receptionist about how he had Covid in November, all casual-like.)
feeling bad about the weight I've put on
See above, re: physical. But Awesome Doctor didn't say a word about it, so that was nice. The only criticism about my quarantine 15 is in my own head.

I'm glad you're getting Christmas Eve off, msbelle!
I'm up, showered, and dressed. I've eaten tacos for lunch. I've got a hunk of beef in the slow cooker. Laundry's going. I'm going to sit on my couch and drink a giant mug of tea while playing Animal Crossing.

That sounds lovely. I am trying to watch the Mandalorian finale, although it's hard because my living room is pretty sunny and the show is very dark...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Been skimming a bit. My condolences to David and sj. Travel safe, Kristin. I just don't know how you all cope with things over there right now.

Our wings are not tired
I’m bucking the trend. Lots of stress and other stuff but I’ve actually lost a little weight during Covid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I see all of you and wish there were anything I could do.
I'm about to be on vacation for two weeks, thanks to my job, but I'm carrying so much leave time, I've stopped accruing, so I guess I'm going to take a week in February for no apparent reason, because I would like to get what they owe me!
