I have seen congee described as porridge. What about gruel, Tep?
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Gruel and congee *are* considered porridge! At least, according to Wikipedia.

We planned to watch Die Hard after dinner, but we're all wiped out. I'm already in my PJs on the couch.
It was a nice meal: traditional turkey dinner, with two very tasty tarts at the end: chocolate and lemon.
I gave up alcohol for the next 12 months, so a lot of my presents were mocktail-related.
I'm glad I have tomorrow off; I have a bunch of little errands to do and I have to call the dentist.

Today is a festive day in Buffista land! We can celebrate Jesse's birthday! May this birthday bring much joy, and may the year to come be filled with treats and delights.
Jesse shares her birthday with Theodosia and Rayne, whom I have not seen in a while, but I hope they are enjoying their day.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Happy birthday to Jesse!
I am also dreading work, Laura. Waiting outside right now in my car for COVID results; big part of me wishes it would be positive but it isn’t looking that way.

Yeah, you would think that being positive would mean a break, but not so much. Sending negative thoughts! I didn't get my positive result until after being sick for a couple days.

Well, my worries about not being able to support my new practice and train this week have been diminished. Shock and surprise - half the staff has Covid! I knew that was were I had to get it. Sigh. At least they won't be upset with me for not being there. DH went this morning to set up their fax server and is trying to get the hell out quickly. We've been good here keeping the windows all open and keeping each other at a distance.
I did go to the dog park a couple times, both times in the rain and at off hours. The park was empty. I washed up and masked for my brief time in the elevator, but didn't encounter anyone.

smonster, may you get a day that serves you well, whatever that may be today.
Laura, that's a relief. Continued good luck to B for staying clear.
Jesse! Happy, Happy Birthday to you!! And a fabulous year ahead.
