Also I had a super weird covid dream this morning where I was running through an airport or something? with Danny Lavery, but I called him his old name??? And I ended up running into Amy Pohler???? Anyway, I almost forgot my mask, but then no one else was wearing one, and it was very stressful.

We'll, that's no fun, Jesse.

I think someone, maybe StephL, posted something, maybe in FB, in the last week or two having to do with scary clowns I had a dream this morning that didn't actually feel scary but involved a serial killer clown on a cruise ship. He figured out that he should take his makeup off so he could just blend in with the other passengers so he wouldn't get caught. His cabin mate was chasing him (and didn't understand why he was running away) as he was running and wiping off his makeup, and he got it off in time. Phew. Thank goodness the serial killer didn't get caught? I guess?

Ha! Dreams.

Whereas I had a dream that I was hanging out in a castle with an acquaintance ad she was the nicest sweetest person and I loved hanging out with her. In reality while she seems perfectly nice I don’t know her that well at all!!

I posted a FB memory with a picture of Puddles Pity Party from a concert, but he’s not a scary clown. Although I think my mom commented that he was scary.

He's the really good singer who dresses as a clown, right? Or is a clown who sings well. Not sure how he self-identifies. Yes, I think that's what I was thinking about. I mean, possibly not the only reason I dreamed of a cruise ship serial killer clown, but... ya' know.

We are going to take a ride locally tonight to look at some houses in NoVa that have been identified as worth a look for their (over-the-top, if you believe such a thing is possible) holiday lighting. Identified by a random person on the internet, but she seems to have put a LOT of work into it. I made a google maps trail for us to follow. With an option to continue on past the first hour if we want to. Matt does not seem to think that will be necessary; I like to be prepared.

He was a singer before he added the clown persona, IIRC. It’s certainly one way to stand out from the crowd.

Indeed. Which it was kind of a bad choice for my dream serial killer's disguise. Kind of surprised that didn't figure into his calculus before he started.

Fuck this year, man. One of my friends got Covid from his dad (it's a little unclear to me on whether his dad knew he had been exposed before he went to Friend's house for Friend's daughter's birthday), and his O2 level was so low today that he went to the hospital. I know the hospital is the best place to be if his O2 level is low, but it's still scary. His wife also tested positive for Covid, but her symptoms have been mild, and now she's at home just stressed out and worrying.

[edit] Friend's dad is ALSO in the hospital.

Yikes! and sorry about your friend. hope they get better kitty~ma, for bat cat, Shir so many losses and illness! {{{{{{{Buffistas}}}}}}}}

well, my holiday cards might get out by or before New Years. I had plans, I tells ya, Plans! But, the reality is that I've been feeling sick the last few days and lower GI troubles are keeping me housebound an my low-grade fever is causing me to nap at the oddest times. so no groceries, no mailing, no taking out the trash.

I got a surprise invite from my sister to come over for Christmas dinner, hope I feel well enough.

I've been catching up for a while, so I'd also like to note that the Zoom with sprogs and pets was wonderful, though I couldn't stay long. To see some of your faces and hear your voices is a treat.

Health~to peoples and pets!

I need to spend more time here.
