Timelies all!
Today is Mr. S's birthday. He turns 7. He's had some red zone behavior today, but camp went fine as far as I know.(It was pajama day, which was a complete coincidence) Right now he and Gary are putting together a Lego Star Wars thing.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Happy birthday to Mr S! Glad it’s been a relatively good day for y’all

Argh. Had a migraine Saturday, Monday, and today. Didn’t take meds until v late today because I was hoping to avoid taking them for the third time in five days but eventually gave in. Felt fine by like 730pm. Figured maybe I could get a good nights sleep tonight since I have meetings from 7am until 630pm tomorrow (not straight through but like seven hours of meetings). Nope—just woke up at like 1230am and ended up puking. Not sure if it’s something I ate or the migraines revenge or what but I am not happy about this.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
I would like for the Universe to lay the hell off my Buffistas for a while. Just let us catch our breath, ok? This is long past ridiculous and into serious back-off-mantis-fucker territory.

Positive for Covid. Everyone else is getting tested today. Currently staring out the back window and trying to figure out what I'm going to do in this bedroom for the next five days (assuming symptoms are gone by then).

Ugh that sucks so bad Pix! I hope you’re able to figure out the logistics without too much trouble.

I'm sorry, Pix! That sucks. This surge is wreaking havoc with everybody's travel plans.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
This Omicron variant (BA.5) is apparently the most contagious one yet, in terms of how easily it's transmitted and how quickly symptoms develop. This surge is reminding me of the one between Thanksgiving 2021 and about the second week of January this year, where it seemed like virtually everyone was getting Covid.
I never did test positive after going to Nashville last weekend, and never developed symptoms, so I'm assuming those tests weren't false-negatives (Teppy the Statistical Outlier). My other 3 roommates have had really mild symptoms and are about 5 days into it, so they can drop the quarantine as long as they stay masked.

Oh Pix, I'm sorry you're with Covid. Quick and easy recovery~ma.
Epic, I'm so sorry about your loss. ~ma as needed. (and, eh, how are you doing other than that?)
Lots of health and love and happy birthdays that I missed ~mas around.
Re: difficult families and secrets convo that I skimmed earlier: oh, do I hear ya. My ~ma to y'all. It's weird and wonky and complicated with lots of ambiguous decisions, but all of us can have and are having better families, either chosen or biological ones. I love y'all, weird and wonky as you are.
Oh, and I too love reading askye's posts.
In other issues: Americans, could you kindly remove your President from my city and neighborhood? He's jamming up half the city and I'm not entirely sure what good he's doing here in the first place.

Thrive to spite them
I hope you feel better soon. Pix.
We got Lovey to the vet. Used the kitty backpack. Lovey peed it and on me. So that was gross. Got a better look at his wound...I think Cheeto did it by accident he kind of jumped on Lovey a few days ago and had his mouth on Lovey's head. So I don't know but thr 2 puncture marks look about Cheeto's size.
I worked doing fulfillment stuff at work!I did the processing and it went OK. Had to deal with some minor dizziness but I think it will be ok if I can figure out how to work around things. Still tired after 4 hours and ready to go home though
