See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hang in there, Pix (and ND!). This is so hard.

Boy, I did not expect, when posting about being sick on FB, that I would get an anti-Covid-testing comment from a dude I knew in high school. What a fucking wanker. I mean, he was a fucking wanker in high school too, so that part isn't too surprising.

Yeah, what the actual fuck. And I am sorry you are not better yet!

So there's this person I don't like, and I want to run a smear campaign against them. Does anyone know who at the NYT I should contact to get the ball rolling?

It's really going to help if the person is a minority of any kind...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So now I have some hyacinth forcing jars with fairy lights glowing in them, to make up for the lack of Christmas tree lights in the living room. It’s bringing me joy far beyond what I expected.

I am pro-little lights every and anywhere as joy-making.

Poor Pix! That's really scary and stressful. Hoping for best outcomes.

Our wings are not tired.

Today is a happy birthday to shrift day! I hope there is much slounging and treats this day. May you find an abundance of joy in the year to come.

It's amazing how much better you feel when you're not sick.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

Dana, sometimes I think my body gives me my little complaints to keep me slogging through my ordinary stuff. But I do overthink stuff sometimes. Happy Shrift Day!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Today is DRAAAAASGGGGING. I am chilly and tired and getting a little grumpy.

I just ate lunch thinking it would help but only increased the tired.

Whine!

I really need to go to bed early tonight.

Dana I always think that on days after I’ve had a mild migraine—where on the day in like “this isn’t sooooo bad maybe I need to just slog through it? Do I really want to take a pill? What if that means I use too many?” And then the next day I’m like “oh right! This is what not having a headache feels like! That WAS bad!” (There are def times when there’s no question and I’m absolutely like “fuck this, pills and bed now” but not always)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy shrift day! I will try to get some slounging in

Happy Birthday, shrift!

I am currently awaiting that feeling , Dana. I am happy you're there.

Continued good thoughts Pix and ND as you navigate care for Pix's dad.

I had a bunch more to comment on, but I need to leave it to a partial meara for the moment.
