I woke up at 5:30, walked almost 6.5 miles today and had two drinks out (!) with friends (!!) after work (!!!), so I'd better sleep well tonight, is what I'm saying.
Saffron: You just had a better hand of cards this time. Mal: It ain't a hand of cards. It's called a life.
'Trash'
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Um. I'm with Dana on the news-cancelling headphones.
Can we maybe make a news thread for hard news, and save Natter for news-light conversation? I come here for sanctuary, and right now, it's not that. I care about all of you and what's going on in your lives. But I can't keep up with you if news keeps intruding.
I do keep up with the news, I'm not completely avoidant. I'd just rather not deal with it *here*. Here is where I go to set that aside for a little while and relax a bit with my friends. It's okay if you don't agree. I just thought I'd bring it up.

It's been literally two years!

Our wings are not tired.
Going out for drinks with friends. Ahhh, I'll just sit with that notion for a bit. Well done.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I now have noise-cancelling headphones ... they're blocking the sound of the techies doing arcane technical stuff with our servers. yay!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Woo, Toddson!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
It’s work from home day today. I’m only one day a week wfh and have been back in the office most days for months and months.
Wfh means I can watch movies and/or knitting podcasts while doing data entry or other non-thinky work.
I’m taking advantage of being well rested and non-hectic workday to do some heavy lifting on serious movies for Oscar Watch.

I am currently in the dentist's chair waiting for a cleaning. Just a cleaning. No drills, no needles, no nothing. Practically nirvana.
Then I need to go home and get a bunch of WFH done.
And yay for drinks after work!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I hope to go out for drinks with friends again soon. There's a cider bar within walking distance, and they give some percentage of their profits to dog rescue. But they opened in 2020, so I haven't really felt able to take advantage of their presence.
