We’re eating yummy leftovers from yesterdays party and watching Project Runway. We usually only eat in front of the tv on Fridays but I told ltc this is one last birthday treat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sorry to hear it, Calli -- definitely get as much rest as you can!
JZ!!!!! Love to you.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I read one of the OFMD fics! As anticipated, it was heartfelt and lovely and complicated.

Always Anti-fascist!
I am sad that, although here and there I watch new shows(Praise Petey for instance, is funny and weird) there isn't anything that makes me want to hide out with it in a fannish way.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I read one of the OFMD fics! As anticipated, it was heartfelt and lovely and complicated.
The last one she wrote (about Lucius and his sister) is very Austen-ian if that appeals to any.
I haven't scheduled visits past Wednesday. Just going to have to see how much energy she has.
The house is emptying out after a very busy weekend. It's been lovely seeing people but it's also nice to have some quiet on a Sunday afternoon.

Quiet, a bit of hopefully rest for all of you.

Our wings are not tired.
The balance between wanting to see people and having enough rest is tricky. At least you should know that if at any moment you or Jacqueline are too tired, that is all you have to say to guests. You are both working with very limited energy resources.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I’ve been thinking that if I can’t find a UU congregation that clicks I’ll look into the ELCA.
I've got to put in a good word for the Episcopalians, too. Ten years in now, and it feels like home to me. (Except for the vestry. WHY did I agree to being on the VESTRY?! Bad move, Late 2021 Susan!)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Calli, seconding what sj said. And I personally experienced the Paxlovid rebound; it was not fun. So be on the lookout for that.
What Laura said about visitors. Very tricky balance. I know you won’t hesitate to speak up if JZ needs you to.

Calli, don’t push yourself too fast.
Thirding this -- don't be too demanding of yourself, friend.
JZ, lovely to see your greetings. Surrounding you with love.
