Yay friend of Tep! And yay meat and cheese platter!
Did the thing, back to doing nothing, also yay for me

I'm glad your friend is well enough to come home, Teppy.
Zenkitty, I'm glad Sam is through surgery. I hope he gets better soon.
Hil, I hope you feel better.
Heya flea!
Just taking a little break from cooking. All my parts hurt.

I’m glad the second surgery went ok, Zenkitty.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ugh, Hil, that's no fun.

Hey Hil, in case you had to skip and skim, I don't know if this is up your alley, but I didn't want you to miss this opportunity from Matt the Bruins fan. [link]

Tired. Dealing with Mr. S, our Tazmanian Devil, does not help.

I am so fucking angry right now .
M and his mom are going to leave soon to go over to his brothers and they are all going to do Xmas like there is no pandemic. His brother and his family, his oldest niece and her boyfriend, his sister and her family, his brother's best friend and their family.
That's over 20 people. Possibly more.
And inside ina double wide trailer so there is no way to social distance

Askye, I don't blame you. They're taking your choice away from you.
All of the local members of my husband's family are going to my sister-in-law's tonight, except for us. "You've gotta live your life," is their refrain. We've always had a lovely time at the Christmas Eve gathering, but I'm so angry at/worried about them, it's a relief not to talk to them. DH is fit to be tied.

Thrive to spite them
Even after I told them we had a customer come in looking for kid's face masks-- he pulled down his mask to ask where they were because-- his family has THE COVID.
I ate lunch in the breakroom because 1) a co worker brought tamales to share and I had to heat it up and 2 ) it was pouring down raining and I didn't want to run to my car and eat and run back. When I was first in the break room there was 3 of us all distanced, but the time I finished eating more people came in and2 shared a table. I had my mask back on by that time.
Several people have talked about going to see family and friends and the get togethers they are having and it's just so frustrating to hear.
I keep saying I don't think assume that the M's extended family has covid. But I could have it and spread it around.
And M and his mom went shopping and of course it was busy and of course they are using that as a reason why it's ok to go and eat and share a small closed space for hours.
I know I take more risks at work than I should, we have a tiny area where we can keep our water bottles, etc and so we end up with our masks off at different times in the same space.
We all have to end up taking risks through out the day but a big thing is figuring out which risks you can avoid.
