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.

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

Good news on the work front, askye, and totally understandable that you're still tired after four hours.
Sorry to hear Covid, Pix. May it be mild and pass quickly.
There were other things, but my memory is like unto a sieve. Positive ~ma all around.

Oh, Epic, I am so very sorry. The word tragic doesn't even touch how heartbreaking for all who loved him.

Thanks all. So much love to you, Epic. What horrific news. I wish all who knew him peace and healing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So sorry, Epic. Heartbreaking.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm so sorry, Epic.
