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.

I can’t even with these shootings. I hate our political system.

Also, I have an event starting tomorrow that is usually the highlight of my year (dance convention in SF). It hasn’t happened for a couple years, obviously. And now a friend i hung out with (outdoors, but nearby and some in and out of the house for drinks) on Saturday told me she was v sick with covid Sunday and Monday. Why she waited until today to tell me I don’t know. And now I’m super paranoid that tomorrow when I have to show a negative test to register for the event I’ll pop a positive and not be able to go or have to just hole up in my hotel room all weekend while everyone else has fun? Fingers crossed it’s not so. I did test negative earlier today but who knows.

I've seen a real surge in people getting COVID around the Bay Area lately. I'd be cautious, especially with a group event where people are coming from all over.

Yes it’s definitely a huge surge—the friend with covid is the one taking care of my dog! …probably it will be more her partner, and they have a big yard and our dogs love playing together. But I tested negative again this morning so am at the airport masked up and on my way!

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

Good luck, meara!

Gallup polling and election results indicate there is no political pressure for more gun regulation. Makes it hard to see how anything can ever change.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Goddamnit, Dana. I'm sorry. May it be mild and behind you soon.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Everything sucks.

Went online to check status of car repair for the car Mac wrecked. Discover that insurance company reestimated after estimate from repair shop and slotted it as a TOTAL LOSS a week ago. No email, call or text to me.

FUCK FUCK FUCK.

I cannot manage finding a used car in this market from several states away. And I still owe $9K on that car. Pretty sure I am not going to get that in the total loss payout.
