Started masking again today. Seemed like the right time to start doing it again, or maybe even a little overdue.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Oh, Matilda. My heart goes out to you. I’m sure your mother would think you new piercing is lovely.

So many people I know suddenly have Covid. So, yeah I was thinking now is a good time to start masking again

I don’t own a caftan, but I do own a few t-shirt dresses that occasionally double as nightgowns. I was thinking recently that I should buy a house dress.

I’m working on the old spare bedroom and soon to be office. So much clutter to go through this is our, “don’t know what to do with it so throw it in there” room. Right now the best I can do is make more organized piles so that I can then sit in one place and deal with one of those piles at a time. Otherwise, I’ll wear myself out.

I was thinking the same about masking, Tom. I was kind of delaying since I just got Covid, but who knows what variant I had and how long any immunity I built up might last. Blergh. I mean, not that masking is that hard, just...

Our wings are not tired.

I haven't started masking, yet, but I have made a serious effort to only be outdoors with the peoples. Anyplace that is crowded just gets passed by.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Staying near the airport and my murder pony, or going all the way into Denver proper? Also, jelly, as I am coming up on FOUR YEARS since last I saw Blucifer.

Murder pony all the way. He's never seen Blucifer and I'm a little too gleeful.

There are so many metaphors, but I did think that was a good one.
It rang very true for me.

Hmph.

Pleather pants don't breathe. Perhaps there will be a place for them again when I'm not overheated all the time.

I'm super super not excited to be getting on a plane in two days and flying to Georgia for all the Covid reasons.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

oh dear ... a co-worker who sits near me had been talking to a friend of his about a James Taylor concert ... and followed up with the comment that he didn't know who that was. sigh ... he did Google the name, but still.

I have both pleather pants and caftans. I'm not absolutely positive the pleather pants fit me right now, because they are not summer friendly.

I just read this the other day in a novel and it hit me where I live:

Grief is like getting stuck in the same cyclone over and over and over again. And every time, you think, Man, I have got to get out of the way of this fucker, and then the next time you find you haven’t budged a fucking inch.
