Yeah, I could see that.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Happy Birthday Jesse!
Happy Birthday Theo!
Happy Birthday Rayne!
Happy Birthdays!!!!
Re: vacations
Does anyone have hotel recs for Paris? Safe, inexpensive, close to metro would be ideal.
(Though Matilda's first comment after the movie was, "Dammit! Why is every story a dead mom story!")
Yeah, sometimes when you don’t expect it at all.
Laura, I know COVID isn’t restful. Being sick never really is. At any rate… I have the flu. Came home early from work, fever now 101.1. Most of the classic symptoms. I just got my flu shot a week ago Friday, here’s hoping it helps at least a little.
msbelle, I stayed at the Hôtel Saint-Marc – 36 Rue Saint-Marc, 75002 Paris -- in late October of 2017, so pre-pandemic. It's a pretty short walk from Opéra station -- 600m or so along Boulevard des Italiens.
Thanks Karl!
Sending happy birthday wishes to Amyparker today! I do hope that it is a day filled with treats and that the year to come is joyful.
Another cause for celebration, a negative Covid test this morning. I still have a cough and my belly is fragile, but still happy to see this.
Good news Laura! Hopefully you, Tep, smonster and everyone else feeling poorly are on the mend and recovering quickly.
Happy birthday, Amyparker!

Yes, a round of good health for my friends, bartender.
I spent a good chunk of yesterday cleaning up the kitchen from xmas eve dinner. At one point the most expedient way to clean out the roasting pan, which was thoroughly and thickly covered in grease, was to drench it in Dawn and wash it in the bathtub.
I have mostly gotten the house back into some kind of order and starting to work my way through the laundry.
Matilda's godmother, Marta, will be coming by later and we'll do lunch with her and maybe make a boef bourguignon.
eta: I think I need a cleaning service. Something JZ and I had discussed before, but now that it all falls to me (with some bits of help form Matilda), it's onerous and I'm no good at dusting anyway.
