Virtual hugs back, for all! My naturally huggy self has had a time the last year! I do hug my husband and kids, and of course Skinner, Mulder, and Scully! Now that I think of it I have hugged a couple others too. But not my siblings, and that is sad making. My sisters have been super cautious, even more so than me (one I haven't even seen), My brother on the other hand is completely reckless. His MS keeps him from getting out much or driving, but he still socializes with all his family and friends maskless. I suggested doing a drive by outside visit over Thanksgiving and he was honest with me. Told me straight out that he would love to see me but he and crew didn't go in for this mask stuff and I might be uncomfortable. (he lives on right wing sites) Anyway, I appreciated his being upfront and I sincerely hope he survives until I can safely see him.
One more day! I know it isn't going to be a magical transformation, but it will be better. Once again send gratitude thoughts to Georgia.
JZ, honey, I am so right there with you. It's a damn lucky thing for people that I'm a true hermit because my filters are just all. gone. at this point. H is tolerant and patient and laughs at my funny rants to help me crawl out of the Angry Pit. He used to get upset at my monologue at Other Drivers, but he gets it now. I want to stop being angry. I want my first startle reflex not to be rage and retaliation. I'm really truly done with this societal death spiral crap. Can we have some progress, now? Some kindness, some public caring for each other, some freaking hope? That would be nice.
Yeah, going back to work in person (because that is a thing I will eventually need to do) is going to be be rough just from a filter perspective.
Much less the fact that exposed to Covid (and look what fun friends it eventually brought) at work. I'm not over that. My getting sick was preventable and probably I'd never have experienced the hyponatremia (very low sodium) and seizures.
But today I am focused on getting my dog back (work Soldiers were awesome caring for her but everyone had young kids or crazy puppies or lived in barracks, so Shelby (she doesn't have an internet name. does this call for a Facebook poll?) is up at a nearby base chilling with my bosses' boss. She's basically on vacation but I know she'll be happy to know I'm safe and back to okay again.
she doesn't have an internet name. does this call for a Facebook poll?
That was how Mulder & Scully got their names! I think it was a Buffistas poll though.

I've got a super-sized case of the jitters.
Wow, I hadn't actually realized. This feels very weird.
In memememe news: so much email to slog through. After only 1 day of holiday! Although I guess my usual post weekend email slog is usually kind of a lot and having it on top of my early morning Tuesday deadlines may make it seem like a lot more. In any case, much slogging.

Me too. I want to crochet or plant or do something with my hands, but I also do not want to start anything right now and possibly bring the bad energy into my work.
I know everything won't magically be better in 24 hours, but at least I'll have hope.

Yes, I remember well wondering how much damage he could do in the remaining months. Guess we now know. I have to believe it gets better from here.
I'm going to be a wreck for the next 24 hours. And longer probably.
I think it was a Buffistas poll though.
All polls are Buffista polls in my world. Doing them in the Facebook just lets me add pictures but I can link to them. Puppy needs a nom de net.
