Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, you guys! Hang in there!!

Holy heating issues, people! Good luck with all.

Happy Birthday, Jesse! No Covid presents for you, please.

Happy Birthday, Theo!

We are visiting with Matt's mom and then on the way back down to VA soonish. I am sooooooo sleepy. I already warned him he wouldn't have much conscious company on the drive home, sorry. He seems OK with that...

We had a lovely day yesterday, a yum dinner out, and then went to see Deep Blue Turquoise, the sequel. It wouldn't have been my choice, but it was fine. The theater chairs were comfy.

Actually, I went to the movie with the fam. Matt couldn't bring himself to join. Fair enough.

Happy Birthday to the Boxing Day babies!

I have today off as a fed, and other than walking the dog, I haven't done much. Need to get off my ass and run errands before the storm arrives. (There's a big storm coming into the Bay Area this afternoon, looks like massive rain and wind.)

Dinner at my brother's house with hot pot and homemade desserts, and then some karaoke. It's weird how much harder it is to sing with a mic in my hand than without. Everything is much more strained and I cannot hit my notes. Good thing I never went into music professionally!

Hippo Birdies, Theo!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Happy Birthday, Theodosia and Jesse!

I'm off work until Thursday and am trying to decide what to do with myself--tons of little things that need done, so a recipe for ADHD indecision if I'm not careful

aurelia, your poor grandmother! I hope things resolve quickly for her.

I’m on a train from Quebec City to Montreal, where we’ll spend a couple of days before going home on Wednesday. I’m pretty ready to go home, but not so ready that I won’t enjoy this final leg. So that’s all good.

Then I get my doggos back on Thursday. They’re with a friend who is boarding a bunch of dogs at her place way out in the burbs. All dogs she knows and at least partly to support the rescue she runs. So they couldn’t be in better hands.

Happy birthday, Jesse!

Happy birthday, Theodosia!

May everyone have internet, heat, and hot water ASAP.

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

maybe I really am magically immune???

That would be awesome. A happy birthday miracle, perhaps.

Happy Birthday Theodosia!

I hope they are able to get in and save the sentimental things, aurelia.

Hot water and internets are important. I hope they are all restored soon.

I have a dead hot water heater as well but that's not new. Mom added a second bath/laundry room (mostly to get the laundry out of the garage) and so I've been washing on cold. But that bathroom is large and freezing in winter so I've just been using the original bathroom. I do need to look into replacing it though.
