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.
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

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.

I bet this how people felt when Queen Victoria died. Whether or not you like the monarchy, it’s definitely feeling like the end of something. I wonder if Charles will choose a different regnal name?

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
I wonder how much longer the monarchy will last. Certainly not another 70 years.I'm betting they'll wind down like a bunch of other European royal families. They're rich and have titles, but most of them have jobs and basically private lives.
