Skipped to the end to wish Dana a very happy birthday! I'm so sorry it has been an isolated one. Many wishes for a negative test so that you can celebrate more appropriately.
Arrived at Otter Lake. So much to do. Will catch up later.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Happy Birthday Dana!
The farmers' market is giving me no love on tomatoes this year (though it did have fresh salad greens and fig jam today), so I stopped at a roadside stand and bought 3 giant ones. Also picked what I believe are some primroses in a vacant lot and put them in a cake can vase.

Still testing negative from last weekends festivities but also hearing about a couple more positives every day, so…eek? Not sure at what point I can uncross my fingers.
I was feeling good about going to the Belle & Sebastian show last night because 85% of the crowd was masked up (including me). But then I turned around and checked out the crowd and it was sold out and packed to the rafters. So now I'm a bit more worried.
JZ and I are busy packing the next few days. Wall shelving for CDs, LPs and books have to come down by Tuesday.
Matilda went to the big bonfire last night at Ocean Beach for all the HS students. A veritable citywide baccanal. She and her friend Mia are sleeping it off.

Small victory: I kept checking the airline website, and sure enough, they released some seats and I now have an aisle for both flights home. Today! Home today!

Happy birthday, Dana! Congrats on the seats/flight!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yay, Dana! That is a happy birthday!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Happy Birthday, Dana! Hooray on the flights!

Happy Birthday, Dana, and yay!
We are having a game night tonight with 13 people over! I didn't think everyone would say yes, ha! Yay for decent, folding chairs at Costco. We only have 10 sitting around a table chairs. Now we have more!
I know we're all masked out in the wild, and vaxxed and boosted, so my fingers are crossed we all stay healthy after our gathering...
And it's getting us to make the living room as presentable and accommodating as possible. Why do I love watching other people decorate but refuse to do it in my own damn home? Ugh.
Should be a super fun night, though.

Yay getting to go home, Dana!
