Atropa, ltc declared herself the queen of Halloween tonight. I told her she might have to fight you for the title.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

I don't know...maybe there are age and weight classes. Maybe she could be a junior bantamweight.

Princess? Would she accept the title of princess of Halloween? But erika's suggestion is good.

Happy Birthday, flea and TomW!
Apparently my long run of good luck in avoiding infectious diseases is over, though so far I've only developed a scratchy/sore throat rather than any nasal symptoms or cough. Probably just a common cold or the like from spending the weekend around lots of family and assorted strangers, including many young children who just went back to school. If more Covid-esque symptoms develop by Friday I'll get tested when I refill a prescription at the pharmacy.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I somehow managed to pick up a headcold a few weeks back, but so far still no Covid (knocks on all wood or wood-grained items in the vicinity).
I was supposed to talk to my doctor today about vaccinations (not just vaccinations, of course, they're just on the list). They had me do flu & Covid while dealing with the cancer, but hold off on shingles. Now I'm not on chemo anymore, do they want me to get the shingles vaccine back on the schedule? Are flu & Covid both still recommended?, etc. So, of course, I got a call that the doc was called away & had to postpone my appt. I'm getting better about writing myself lists & notes & questions to take to my appts, so I'm unlikely to forget when I see him Monday, but I hate having to rearrange plans & whatnot.

Because books.

Starting as a courtier is definitely an idea.
Epic, thank you! I'm having surgery on my shoulder on the 26th, and you reminded me I need to ask if I should get a Covid booster and/or flu shot beforehand. But also, I'm sorry the whole thing is so complicated.

Our wings are not tired.
Happy birthday to TomW!
It's forecasted to hit 102 today, 104 tomorrow, and 106 on Friday. Actual temps, not heat index.
Crazy temps. We were on the Canadian border on the St. Lawrence and it was 90. Places there only have fans. But it was still grand storming the castle. We went to a small pub in Alexandria Bay and I had a Riesling from Thousand Island Vineyards that was super tasty. It tasted like biting into an alcohol-infused apple. Also had fried cheese curds dipped in maple syrup. Decadence. Two days of wandering with the family visiting various places along the border was a delight.
The next thing is for the asbestos mitigation team to start working on the tile floors, but because of said issues, they won’t be able to start work until next week.
Bleah indeed! I'm sorry it is taking so long.
Negative covid test wishes for all. And yes, Epic, making a list beforehand is so helpful. I hate getting home and remembering what I forgot to ask!

I got to spit in a tube and. They have sent it off for genetic testing. They were like “do you want to test for the basic stuff or more?” And I was all “clearly you haven’t met me. Test ALL the Things!”
Sheryl that sounds awful! And a long time out of your house.
