That's great news, Matt!
I'm glad you have someone to help with things, askye.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

Our wings are not tired.
I can only imagine trying to deal with bureaucracy on top of having a concussion. My head hurts thinking about it.
Geez, just got a medical alert thing about a 20 yo unvaccinated person in NY getting Polio. Polio people! The world has gone mad. My sister, who is 74 was one of the first people to get the vaccine when she was a wee one.

Great news, Matt!
Our next travel in mid-August, to Toronto. We're driving, and breaking the trip up into a couple days.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
What-is-my-job-anyway-limbo update: we have a preliminary outline of how we will be realigning our roles and it sounds okay? But we will probably not really change until January because there's software changes that have to happen first and we'll be in peak season and blah blah blah good reasons but that'll be close to a year since we started talking about this. Some things might change before then, we'll see. It's good to know it's not just somebody's dream that is never really expected to happen, though, which it kind of seemed like for a while.
Of course, we'll make these changes in January and I know the only other Senior Business Analyst left (there were 5 of us a year ago, one left and was not replaced, one was promoted to be our supervisor, and another just left and will not be replaced) wants to retire around June next year so...that'll be interesting

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have finished sanding! Tomorrow, staining, which is easy and should go fast. And then this project is done. I love DIY, but sometimes the “do” part is exhausting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, scrappy! Hand-sanding a deck seems like a lot.

This is making me laugh, meara, whether you meant exactly that or not

Good news, Matt!!
I can't believe I haven't gotten Covid yet. I guess sitting in literally the last row of Boston Garden is why I got away with the NKOTB concert last weekend.

Me too Jesse! (Not the NKOTB part though, that would be weird and stalkery.)
I am going to tighten back up on my masking. I never dropped it but I have gotten more lax about quick store trips and stuff.

Great news, Matt!
I'm parked in front of the tv with a cocktail, watching the Jan 6 hearing.
