Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm thinking after two vax shots, a booster, Omicron and a fourth shot (next month?) I should be ready to swim through a vat of COVID with my mouth open. Not that I'll tempt it, but I am starting to look at traveling again.

You could vacation in the hottest of Covid hotspots! (Based on the NYT map, that seems to be...Kentucky. Which is 100% unsurprising.)

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Hey, Tennessee has been holding its own as a COVID hotspot lately, too! (Yay? Ugh.)

My free COVID tests via USPS finally arrived today along with my order of KF94 masks.

I'll be hopping on public transit later for a salon appointment. Rght now I'm doing everything BUT work on my performance evaluation, which is due on Tuesday. I'm taking tomorrow off and I have Monday off as a holiday, so Future Me is going to be very unhappy come Tuesday morning.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I come today to find my fellow Internet Olds: there is a Vanity Fair cover out today with Nicole Kidman, and it's a ridiculous feat of photoshop, and I saw someone saying it just looks like her head is pasted on, and all I could think was HER HED IS PASTEDE ON YAY, but who even remembers that ancient lore??

You people, I hope.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Who could ever forget?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I don't even remember the origin story, but I will carry PASTEDE ON YAY with me to the day I die even if I live to 100.

I'm with JZ

Eta: I'm a little sad that that hasn't caught on with the young 'uns. It's so great!

I am so glad the covid seems mild David.

I am not even terrified of getting it anymore. I am terrified of dong the work to find a test, or get to a testing place, and then be cleared for work! Maybe I am naive, but since I take public transportation that seems like worse than going to work- running around getting the test. So I hope I get my free tests!

I remember Jesse!
