Good thing, because that skirt needed YOU.

Rehab getting-in-to-ma for your sister, Laura. And getting home soon -ma to you.

Matilda is awesome, and I'm glad that is widely recognized.

Chocolate and raspberry, yes. I got some great raspberries a couple of weeks ago, but none since then. We're currently on clementines and pears over here.

My whole day is three onerous tasks, but I'm plowing through them. My WFZoom-mates are getting periodic updates so that I stay focused.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I have to head over to campus in about an hour. It's been a couple of years since I spent any time on the campus of the university where I allegedly work, and I'm kind of looking forward to seeing it. And they are taking vaccination and masks seriously there. Still, lots of humans, breathing in my general vicinity. Suboptimal.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh thank you so for the quick working ~ma. She is to be moved to Rehab in about 1-1/2 hours. I'll go home tonight! My brother has to take over now.

eta: I love my sister, but I am worn out.

I, in fact, ordered that skirt!

Yes!

Glad to hear that, Laura.

Yay glad to hear that Laura! I’ve heard it’s been hard to find nursing home and rehab beds so fingers crossed it works out as planned! And that you get some restful comfortable sleep.

TGIF y’all.

Also, dancing is back tonight!!! So of course I gave myself a blister walking the dog in the wrong shoes yesterday, oops. But I think it’ll be fine. Now to spruce up my hair, too….

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Just did my first rapid test since Monday night when I found I was positive.

Still, unambiguously positive.

Come on, already!

Symptoms very mild at this point.

Well, glad the symptoms are mild. Hope the virus leaves you soon!

I keep forgetting Monday is a holiday. I'm looking forward to having the day off but I am going to have so much to do on Tuesday!

This is an extremely specific to me gripe, but we apparently are sending samples of new cookware out to "influencers" in advance of shipping them to stores, and to make this happened have air shipped a small quantity of a few items over from China or Thailand (I forget which is the COO of these products but I'm pretty sure it's one of those) at pretty great expense but have NO PROCESS IN PLACE to get that inventory into the system so that the orders can be processed and we can actually ship these out to the influencers. I have been poking various departments to get things done so we can ship these stupid things all week and we still can't do it! Argh!

And posting about it made it happen. At least, the inventory is showing as available, someone else will have to confirm the orders are processed.
