Always Anti-fascist!

I *look* chill. But it's not really true.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Morbid, I know, but have those of us who have any sort of fannish content up at AO3 actually set up our Fannish Next of Kin options? [link]

(I am someone else's. I have not set up mine. I should do that.)

I just tested positive for COVID. Ugh. It’s summer cold-y right now, and I have an appointment for a non-home test and hopefully Paxlovid tomorrow. So annoying. I have stuff to do.

Ugh, may it clear quickly for you.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Calli, that sucks. I hope your symptoms stay mild and it fucks off quickly.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I am convinced that Pax made a huge difference in my COVID adventure last year. May yours be as boring as mine was!

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

Timelies all!

Health~ma to all.

There is definitely water damage in our house, we just don't know how much. The ceiling in the lower levels got water logged, and in the case of Gary's office, much of it came down. The carpet on the stairs down to the basement has been removed, and we have many dehumidifiers going.

Needly to say, the home visit with Mr. S has been canceled for this weekend.

Water issues in the home are the worst. I hope it’s all resolved quickly, Sheryl.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

So glad at the village of helpers appearing at critical turns.

Steph, I feel you so much. I can just imagine my dad doing something like that and you’re left in the “ this is so so hard and you’ve just made it harder and I kind of want to strangle you, but I can’t even really yell at you stage.” Try not to blow a blood vessel before it passes.

Someday when I redo my bathroom, I am definitely getting a heated floor.

I’m redoing my bathroom right now AIFG!

No really. It’s about 70% done and it looks so awesome. I did not go for the heated floors. I’m not sure I trust the wiring to that degree. But it’s going to be such an improvement and I could not love how the tile and stuff came out more.
