Congratulations, Robin!
I’m exhausted today and can’t figure out which of my half finished projects to deal with.
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

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!

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

What Cash said - both counts. Hope the rest of the family stays well, or also has mild and quick, if not.

At this point, I think you want to get Omicron IF you're vaxxed and boosted, and are not immunocompromised.
Then you're pretty much bulletproof with antibodies. At least for a few months.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Adding my vibes to your reserve for a mild and extremely uneventful course for A, Jess.
Yay, Robin! Her future school is so lucky to have her.
I'm sitting in the bedroom, hunkered down with my laptop and an after-dinner drink while Matilda, her boyfriend and one of her best friends watch From Up On Poppy Hill in the living room. Earlier evening activities included Matilda doing everyone else's eyebrows, which her boyfriend did not like. Her friend is right now not liking the deplorable lack of hot zombie action or, indeed, any supernatural elements in Poppy Hill. Later there will be homemade pizza, which everyone will like, followed by giving Prubs her evening meds, which she will grudgingly tolerate but that's about it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
And maybe we’ll see you in Chicago every now and then?
That is the hope!
Woo!
This is the first time I've been caught up in Natter since the start of the year! I utterly failed to compile a meara as I read, but I hope to keep up for a bit and respond to events properly.

Welcome to the present, aurelia!
I’m crossing my fingers I did not get COVID this weekend. Dance convention, the first one in a couple years, and most people were not masked. I did mask, but not super strictly (definitely when dancing, but took it off a few times to eat or drink).
Jess, hope the rest of the family miraculously avoids it, or it’s very mild!
