You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

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!

I got my free tests, so I hope everyone’s come soon!

Ugh—had a dog sitter for Rory who was cheap (local college student) but she’s not available. Reached out to another couple who sat him a few times, but previously we were communicating off Instagram, and it was $30/night. I didn’t look at what they were charging on rover because I wasn’t sure they were still sitting (they took down the insta)…and it’s $48/night! Yikes. I’d rather have him stay with people he’s met but that’s a stiff price hike.

I’m trying to sweet talk my brother into coming out from DC to stay with the dogs for a week. It might be working? He loves the dogs and the cabin. And what else is he doing? I have miles for his flight.

Otherwise I know someone I really trust who goes boarding but it will be spendy. She usually charges $80 for 2 though she said she would cut me a break.
