I'm especially a fan of looking at something with my parents or family and realizing "Oh, that's why I'm like this."

Oh, I forgot to say I'm sorry about the Covid, Atropa. May it be short-lived and mild.

Feel better Atropa.

Got the vax on Thursday, felt like shit on Friday. Felt better today; it was a gorgeous day (after the deluge on Friday). I went out and shot 2 rolls of film, took 14000 steps. I feel utterly exhausted now.

Texting with Mr. Loomycakes earlier:
Him: You’re resting, right?
Me: Yes. I’m spending the day rewatching Interview with the Vampire.
Him: The Blu-Ray?
Me: THAT’S WHAT YOUR AMAZON PACKAGE IS?!??
Him: Hahaha surprise!

Our wings are not tired.
Aww, I hope the surprise package was successful in comforting.
We crawled around the lake in my sister's pontoon boat and took a zillion leaf pictures, then DH and I went for a nice drive and I took a few more. Stopped and visited an artist friend who has an artist coop place in Raquette Lake to get hugs, and while I was there some super cute ghost earrings and lovely soap. With my place under construction I have no place for any of the other pottery and such. This is the friend who referred me to the artist who painted my awesome otter sign for my camp. I finally have insulation and walls in the downstairs living spaces, and a propane furnace! They are working on the ceiling today. Coming together. Warmth has been very nice, just in time for a series of warm days we are expecting this week. My son and GF are coming Wednesday to go up the ski lift with us to see more leaves on the mountain sides.

That sounds lovely Laura -- the leaf viewing past and future.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
SO GLAD the government shutdown was averted, at least for now. So many people were panicking over having their paychecks stop and all the government resources stopping. They might have put an end to this year's Fat Bear Week (starts Wednesday).
So sorry to hear about Atropa's COVID, especially on her own. Glad to hear her own personal lurker is supporting her.
I'm in the office all alone (usual for Mondays and Fridays); next Monday is a holiday, so I have to plan around that. It's really cold in here (I suggested subletting some space for fur storage) and the lights keep going out (they're motion-activated and I don't move around much as well as being outside sensor range).
My mother had both knees replaced and loved not being in pain any more. My sister had one knee replaced; I still have both my original if much damaged ones.
And people were posting about "that one cousin" ... that was my mother. She managed to antagonize both sides of the family; she assumed my father's side were all hicks (well, they kind of were, but still family) and her side, her half sister wasn't sufficiently supportive of their father, so good bye to her, her husband and three sons and, last I heard, a couple of grandchildren.
