I read one of the OFMD fics! As anticipated, it was heartfelt and lovely and complicated.
Oh, no, oh, no! Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord, spare me college boys in love.

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

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.

I've got JZ's name entered in the prayer bowl in the assisted living residence chapel where they hold Daily Mass, so you'll have a bunch of prayers going out.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Hello JZ, lovely to see your pixels.
