And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Congrats on boats for tall people and college admissions!

Yay Suela meeting up with friends. Yay Laura getting a boat! Yay robin getting into college!

I did not watch the Oscar’s because I was at a friend’s birthday—she rented out a roller rink for a private party. I have not roller skated in…20 years?? And I went about ten feet and fell down. From there I managed two laps slowly and shakily and gave up. I feel bad about that. But today the base of my thumb where I caught myself hurts a lot so….maybe better I didn’t injure myself further? But it makes me feel old.

I watched the Oscars and it was a pretty wild ride there at the end.

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

I did not watch the Oscars and that was some buzz to wake up to this morning

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Congratulations, Robin!

I’m exhausted today and can’t figure out which of my half finished projects to deal with.

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

Congrats to Robin!

It's beautiful, but cold here today. This is my last week fully working from home (barring unexpected upsurges in COVID [which, honestly, would not be as unexpected as all that]). But even after we're "back" I'll only be going into the office one day a week, so that's not so bad. Enough to keep up with my coworkers and enjoy the Durham foodie scene, but not enough to get me tired of the commute again.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Congrats, Robin!

Well, the streak is broken - in the second week of Plague Year Three, my daughter has tested positive for Covid. So far the rest of us are negative but I'm not going to hold my breath. Symptoms so far are mild and we're all as vaccinated as can be, so it could be worse, but still. Ugh.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I hope A’s bout is mild and quick.

Laura, the boat looks amazing. I hope life on the sea is freeing.
