Jacqueline, you are bathed in prayer, girl. I pray the chemo kicks cancer's ass, and leaves the rest of your asstastic self alone. JZ, we love you so much. That counts for something. It's positive energy put out in this world we don't understand. But there is so much of it. You have been a balm, a delight, and a comfort, to all of us, for more than 20 years. Karma isn't really a part of my world view, but that's doesn't mean it is not real. Your love and kindness are real. They will come back to you.
David (Matilda, Emmett), take it as easy as you can. I know your hearts must be in your throats.
Susan, I hope your recovery is going well.
Sophia, I agree with Hec about your job.
Cindy - great to see your pixels, too, friend.
Right back atcha, JenP. ♥
YESSSSSSSSS
Teppy, I miss and love you.
Plei, I know you haven't posted here, but I saw you in the 2022 thread. I hope your household's Covid has finally passed. DH is over his. C and I never caught it. B did, but we don't think it was from us. Our dog now has old dog vestibular disease, but she's okay.
TL;DR: I'm so glad you're here, Buffistas.
(Laura, much love to you.)
Also, Cashmere, WTF are you? Did you cancel your newest (sweary library?) Twitter name? I miss you.
YESSSSSSSSS
Teppy, I miss and love you.
I miss and love you, too, Cindy! ♥♥♥

Wobbly dog? Kato had that when he was an older fellow.
She's so fricking drunk, Teppy!
I'm watching Becoming, BTW. Do you see my resolve face?
I'm shamelessly promoting my Adios 2022 post, because it was hard, and I want your empathy.

Now that I can copy and paste hearts, I'm going cardio-crazy!

I just read it! Sweetheart, that is A LOT. Too much, in fact. Being the caretaker for a parent is hard enough when their temperament is good (or even neutral). But when they're difficult, mean, or suddenly a dirty old man (in the case of my FIL), it's really really fucking hard. Honestly, I'm glad that Covid gave you a break from mom duty.
I love you so much.
Woo hoo! (Also, I need ATTENTION in the year-end thread.)

She was so mean. I would have left her, but I knew it was (mostly) the drugs making her mean. I am sorry DH had COVID for his sake, but otherwise? I am grateful. This was abuse.
Honestly, I'm supposed to see her Sunday (10 days after DH tested negative), but I kind of don't want to. I will, because I'm that kind of kid, but man.
