"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I have my 2nd booster scheduled for Tuesday and my flu shot a week after that, so all I have to do is not test positive for Covid or get sick with anything else before those appointments. I could do them together, but I'm choosing to get the Moderna after 3 Pfizers and I'm not sure how much it's going to wreck me.

My manager told me that I technically don't have to isolate after close contact exposure at DragonCon, and I MAY have responded that the CDC may have given up on it but I haven't.

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

Timelies all!

I guess I need to figure out where to get my second COVID booster shot. I was spoiled by being able to get the first three shots at work, and I'll get my flu shot there as well.

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

I’m back from MI and being lazy for the rest of the week. Running around after three kids under four is exhausting, even though adults outnumbered them 2 to 1. I have my Omicron booster and flu shot next week.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I’m trying to understand the recommendations for the new Covid. I’ve heard that with the most recent variants fading it might be wise to time it for a few weeks in advance of any big expected events or get togethers instead of going for it right away.

That's why I waited until today to get my booster (well, that and hoping by a month before my Vegas trip the Moderna Bivalent vaccine would be available—it was!). Not even a sore arm to show for it as yet, but we'll see how tomorrow goes.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The Queen has died. Phone so I won’t link but BBC has it.

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

I just heard some coworkers talking about it. I guess this is literally the end of an era, eh? It's going to be weird hearing any mention of the king when that starts happening. It always strikes me as weird even when it was historically accurate to whatever I'm reading.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My mom texted me said "Every pub in Ireland is going to run out of booze tonight."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I wonder how much longer the monarchy will last. Certainly not another 70 years.

That'll be interesting to watch. I am always surprised how many monarchies are still in existence when I hear of one.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Jim said he has friends in London who can hear the church bells going.
