So many vibes and good wishes, sj.
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So many hugs to you and your Papa T, sj.
Good thoughts for Papa T, sj.
My phone kept autocorrecting sj to she.
Leg~ma for your Papa T, sj.
Well I splurged today, and ordered a new couch! I have hated my old leather couch for years, and I'm so excited to get my new custom couch with blue velvet upholstery.
Now I'm cruising online estate sales looking for cheap old persian rugs...
sj, I hope your Papa T is feeling better, soon.
Teppy, I am sorry to read about Tim's dad, and that I'm just finding out.
I didn't realize I'd been gone from here that long. Winter kind of punched my psyche in the gut this year.
First! I think I missed Topic!Cindy's birthday, which may have been yesterday.
It was, Laura. Thank you. I jumped in, instead of scrolling or doing the John H. Natter diet, yesterday. I'm just catching up, now.

We got a peacock velvet one. Ordered it in October, got it in January! It's the first adult couch we've ever owned. AKA, not from Craigslist, IKEA, or a thrift store. (We have an IKEA loveseat in the front room, which is the only couch-like object we'd purchased new before this.)
Hoping for swift clot resolution for him, sj.
Blue velvet sounds fancy!!
I had an I retesting evening—met a friend downtown for a drink to celebrate her new job, we ended up at a random place but had a couple drinks and some apps, and I was going to drive her home when other friends texted so we met up at a different bar and had some drinks there, and it was such fun. I miss that kind of fun!
Oh, because "poutine" sounds too much like Putin. That took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out.
Oddly enough, Putin is literally spelled Poutine in French because if you don't spell it that way it would be pronounced too much like putain (whore).
Oh, interesting, and adds to the understanding of the unappetizing nature of poutine at this time.
I have So Much To Do, but the final novel of The Expanse series has me wanting to do nothing but read. So I figure that getting up as early as I do, 5 this morning, I am justified in spending some of those waking hours reading instead of packing. But then it will be done, and I will be sad, but I can't help myself, and so.
