A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

I'd do the same, Dana.

I am Moderna boosted. Just waiting my requisite 10 mins. Poor pharmacist has a bum knee, but she has to kneel to get the right angle to stick people. No fun!

I think I will buy myself a small chocolate treat on the way out.

So, just a quick update on the SO -- he is scheduled for surgery on 4/25. A bowel resection to excise the area where they found the mass in his colon. Initial biopsy came back benign, but the surgeon is dubious. Needless to say, they will biopsy the whole shebang once removed. All positive waves of best outcomes ~ma are super appreciated. He is doing well, all scaries considered.

All the belly-ma for him!

Much ~ma, Jen!

Our wings are not tired.

All the ~ma for a successful surgery, easy recovery, and continued benignity!

Punishingly Intricate

Sending good thoughts to your SO, JenP!

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

Timelies all!

Much ~ma to your SO, Jen.

Thanks, all.

Who's got weekend plans? Mine: ha, ha, ha -- put away the Christmas tree. Trees. And Birthday brunch for a friend on Sunday. (The trees are, at least, de-ornamented. It's just been a micro forest in the living room since the end of January.)

Casper and I are driving four hours each way to spend 18 hours with family including meeting my new niece. Unfortunately our work schedules are such that we basically never have the same two days off in a row.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Who's got weekend plans?

Gotta do the taxes. And put together a utility cabinet for the basement. Maybe even mow the lawn. Nonstop party, woo.

All yardwork all the time. Especially since I missed my window today and it is too hot but should be cooler over the weekend, fingers crossed
