I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

They count Day 1 as the first day after symptoms show up.

I'm using the recommended Day 0 is when the positive test happened, but I technically had symptoms the day before. That's why I go back and forth. But this is pretty much Day 5.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sorry, Laura.

But I'm glad you're feeling better, Pix.

I woke up around 2am from a dream that someone was trying to break into my apartment and had the door half open. When I checked the door it was closed, with the deadbolt and chain both engaged. But I still kept waking up at every noise the rest of the night. So tired.

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

Oh, ugh, Calli, I hate those dreams that don't even feel like dreams because they take place where you actually are! So hard to shake off and so full of adrenaline.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Poor Mulder. I'm so sorry, Laura.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, Laura.

We went out to dinner with Gary's mom last night to celebrate Mr. S's birthday. Unfortunately, he got more and more out of control as the night went on(including throwing his medicine into a fountain) and we ended up taking him to the ER. They got his meds into him, and he actually fell asleep there. Sigh...

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

Sheryl, I'm so sorry. Your whole family has just been through one wringer after another. I hope you were all able to get some rest after Mr. S fell asleep.

And Laura, poor Mulder and poor Scully, and you already sick and now having to contend with this.

And Epic. There are just no words. My heart breaks for you and your family, your nephew and his kids and everyone who loved him and his inability to know or believe how much he was loved or that he deserved it.

Too much Covid, too much sadness and struggling and loneliness and grief. The universe can take a deep breath and just give itself a moment to gather its thoughts instead of flailing wildly at everyone anytime now, please.

Much ~ma and health to all.
