A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I loved Rihanna's halftime show!

Jesse I’d say if it’s just today then be sick, but if you feel like it’ll be going on for a few days maybe you can pop in very early or late to grab your work stuff?

Yeah, I'll take today as a sick day, and we'll see about tomorrow.....

Yeah, take the full-on sick day today.

Yikes, msbelle. That does not seem like How Things Should Be!

Oh, -t, my mother's trip was this weekend and she didn't end up taking the train after all (her host insisted on a million-dollar Uber!).

I did hear that BART stations near the airport were closed for some reason (like hazardous materials in the area?) recently, so that may have been a good choice. But I was also in MTZ this weekend, so hooray for proximity even if totally invisibly!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

And some days, the transit gods smile upon you (thanks, Hermes!). My flight arrived and I walked quickly to the bus stop, where I waited less than a minute for my (early) bus, which pulled into the transit center at the same time as my transfer, which had a rollator-user, so I could even have walked a little slower and still gotten on.

Big medical appointment in an hour and a half, so things going smoothe is extra nice.

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

Timelies all!

Gary took Mr. S to the residential treatment center today. It's very quiet here.

Ooh. I have seen things labeled Cheesecake Brownies although I don't know what that means in a practical sense.
Usually a brownie with some cheesecake marbled in on top. Delish!!

I made camoflauge chocolate cheescake brownies for my superbowl party - regular cheescake topping, chocolate cheesecake topping (regular + cocoa powder), and some of the brownie mix swirled on top [link]

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I livestreamed my uncle's funeral today, in between classes and meetings. While it's great that this technology exists, and it's definitely better than not being there at all, it still feels like a disconnect. But there was just no way I could get to Boston for this without missing at least one day of work and possibly two, and I knew I couldn't get anyone to cover my classes on that short notice.
