Go go, antibiotics! Scrappy doesn't want her face to be swole!

I realized last night that I hadn't taken any of my allergy meds for the day. I thought my allergies just were acting up because I was cleaning and there was a lot of dust, but nooo.

If anyone here know about labor laws either in general or specifically in MA and is willing to chat with me back channel, my profile address is good. Things are proving difficult with me not being able to drive and with no one else being able to help me with appointments other than TCG.

Yay antibiotics! Here’s hoping antibiotic resistance is conquered after Covid?

That’s good, Scrappy.

I spent today clearing out two big shelves full of random crap in one of my bookcases. Now I have one shelf 2/3s full of fairly specific crap and the rest of the space filled with board games. I’ve been thinking about doing this since COVID became a thing, and 10 months later finally got around to it.

Scrappy, starting 2021 by getting rid of that infection is an excellent way to start the new year!

I keep saying I'll clean out my closet on New Year's Day. We'll see if I follow through on that.

Calli, you give me hope that I might possibly get to any of the many many things I could have and have not been doing all this time. Well done!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have this janky closet situation, and finally ordered some brackets and a rod to create a more normal situation, and they finally came, and none of the pieces work together! Like, the brackets don't fit into what I currently have, and the rod doesn't fit into the brackets. Oh well. I give up, I guess.

That sounds like something The Container Store would love to help you with

Or maybe Ikea.

Or Closet World? They may be local, I don't know

I was hoping to have a tiny solution, not the full re-vamp it actually needs. Basically, I have a weird narrow but deep closet, so I have shelves like this [link] along the two side walls and I have to hang my clothes in the little squares. I would rather have a rod! Maybe I will keep googling.
