Niece is missing her her stage debut because she tested positive for COVID.
She's pretty crushed - but she's vaccinated and we're all safe. Yet again, let me say, not getting the damn shot BEWILDERS me.
Giles, help! He's going to scold me!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Thanks, all! I'm very happy with it.
David, I'm so sorry. That is just heartbreaking beyond measure. It's a lovely gift, the photo.
-t!! Go you! Fantastic! I am following your biking saga with interest.
In my own fitness news, I'm working with a trainer at the community center, and she is awesome, and it's going well. She's great about getting that I'm still in PT for the shoulder and working with that.
meara, definitely new thing worthy!
ETA: that stinks, Trudy. Bah.

Wish me not expiring from the heat tomorrow during our big charity bike ride!! Fortunately, msbelle will be here to rescue me, just in case.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The weather this weekend here will be July. Highs in the 90s. Fun, fun, fun.

In the space of the last 32 hours I've found out that the co-worker I was paired with on my main project is in the ICU, that my landlord is urgently trying to sell my apartment, and that Mom's brand new refrigerator is on the fritz yet again. Enough, universe! Take a coffee break or something.
In less stressful news now that it's done, I wrangled Little Meg to the vet Wednesday and she's now recovering nicely from being spayed, with a clean bill of health on all tests. Kudos to the two vet techs who managed to extract her from my car after she broke out of the carrier and initiated a game of whack-a-mole with us.

Oh, holy hell, Matt, that is too much. I hope your co-worker recovers from his/her/their ills well and quickly. Don't know what to say about the apartment... or the fridge. Well, I hope it recovers quickly, too. Yay for spayed, recovering kitty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, Matt! That is a lot.
David, that is so, so sad. It will be good to be there for them.
That is a bummer for your niece, Trudy. So many people missing so many things still!
Good luck, lisah!! I wish you cold water.
I can't believe how many (fine) plans I have this weekend keeping me from the beach! Especially Sunday, but at least I'll be by the water where it should be cooler for a band gig.

Good luck to lisah!

Thrive to spite them
So I'm playing minecraft on my regular server and I was helping a newer player , who told me "thank you sir" and I explained that I'm not a guy...and also an adult. I have a title of Queen for my rank but it shocked everyone to find out I'm not a guy. and they started talking about how awesome and stuff and I mentioned about the anniversary of the concussion and how nice it's been to have the server and them around and stuff... it was just really cool and then one of the teenagers gifted me with the top rank. It's a server donation and I was going to do it but haven't, it's not a huge donation but it's still.. I had mentioned my birthday is next month so it was a birthday present .
anyway I got a little teary eyed thinking about how awesome this group of mostly kids and teens is.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm working with a trainer at the community center, and she is awesome, and it's going well.
Well done! I was considering that even though I am leaving in 2 weeks, just thinking it would help with putting together a plan.
Niece is missing her her stage debut because she tested positive for COVID.
So hard. Too many NY people I know coming up positive. Fortunately vaccinated, but still way too inconvenient.
Wish me not expiring from the heat tomorrow during our big charity bike ride!!
I'll be cheering you on! Would you please post the linky because I don't remember seeing this year, but with my crazed life I would well have missed it. It is important.
Oh dear, Matt. That is a whole lot, but you made me grin with the Little Meg escape escapades.
That is so sweet, askye. My great nephew is big on Minecraft and has his mother and grandmother (my sister) hooked into doing it with them, but I fail to comprehend how he can watch so many hours of YouTube videos on the subject.
A/C is still not doing the thing, but we had serious rain today which has cooled things off to an incredible 72 tonight. Like free A/C!!1!
