Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

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!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Congrats, Robin! And the whole fam, of course. Yay Prubs, way to make a comeback! Hooray for tall people boats. My usual tag for things going well is a line from Overboard: "It's a great day at sea, sir!" Feel free to use and enjoy it going forward!

Easy case and fast healing for Aeryn, feel better soon for Sheryl, no achies for meara and no interference with her May event. Yay for meeting with friends for drinks and/or foods, at home or out and about.

If I missed something, apologies--so much good news! It's a great day at sea, sir!

Our wings are not tired.

Health~ma all round!

I'm overwhelmed with stuff to do and learn and once again had to give up on sleep. This time at 3:30 this morning. Ugh. Let's hope for a nap later.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hope all stays OK, Jess.

Congrats to Robin!!

I’m crossing my fingers I did not get COVID this weekend.

Fingers crossed! After an unmasked memorial service the other weekend, I got very nervous, and realized I could (a) get an extra test at work, and (b) switch up my testing day. I had been testing on Mondays, which is actually practically useless, because basically all of my risk comes on the weekend! So now I'll test on Thursdays, which I'm feeling good about.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Love trying to decide if my migraine is bad enough that I can work from home and not drive to the office for the one day a week I drive to the office.

Called my doctor yesterday for steroids, and as with my botox, they didn't get shit done, so I'm going to start haunting their phone in 8 minutes when they open.

Not going into the office. I did make myself avocado toast with bacon and feta for breakfast.

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

Not going into the office. I did make myself avocado toast with bacon and feta for breakfast.

Two excellent choices.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

In other words, if the AARP has been bugging you to join, go get that second booster!
