so far as I know, I haven't had it yet, but today I left the office early, as I am headachey and sore throaty. Covid test says "nay" but i don't really trust them anymore.

I brought my laptop home so I can work tomorrow, pretty sure I don't want to go in.

But I hope I'm not sick, because book club is this week and my sister is making the NYT cranberry curd tart. And I'm getting a birthday dinner on Friday with my nieces.

FUCK YEAH GA!!!

FUCK YEAH GA!!!

I second that emotion!

I razor thin portion of Americans think that "I don't even know what a pronoun is!" is disqualifying.

I will take it and fear for our future.

Love to see it. And now Manchin and Sinema have to decide if they each can get what they want before the other goes along with the party instead of knowing they can block legislation with a “nah.”

Can't they still work together to flip the Senate and nullify Harris' tie-breaking power?

They could (and did) do that before. But, really. if either one of them decided to do so, legislation was dead. Now they have to work together to be difficult, and the other Democrats just have to get one on board instead of both.

I posted in Good Riddance and was like-- hopefully nothing bad happens between now and the end of the year---and a few minutes later I catch Penny peeing where she shouldn't be. She doesn't really like litter boxes and it's been raining so she hasn't gone outside and I'm assuming this is how she is showing her displeasure.

I'm glad Warnock won but that race was way too close.

I have a cold or something but the Covid test is negative so I guess I will be working the outlet sale tomorrow (masked and gloved if they provide them, so hopefully not giving everyone else my cold!)

I was somehow expecting it to take a lot longer for Georgia to get resolved, so a little extra yay for that!

(masked and gloved if they provide them, so hopefully not giving everyone else my cold!)

I hope at least some people continue this after Covid is declared endemic. Masking shuts down respiratory viruses decently, not entirely. And it shows the minimum level of giving a shit about other humans.

Many of my doctors reported zero flu infections during the first winter of Covid. Might be something to this hand washing and masking stuff.

I hung lights on my balcony today. I think only one other condo in my building has lights. I am quite delighted with them. I hung 5 strands of icicle lights that used to cover the entire front of my house on the balcony. I doubled them up so that if one strand died it would not leave a blank spot. Only downside is that my tree used to be real visible, but now it is barely seen through the other lights. Oh well.
