I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, Steph. I hope everything stays manageable for you both.

I'm annoyed that after days of freezing weather here, it has warmed up for the snow, so we're getting wet heavy yuck out there.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Teppy, may it go easily for both of you; I join Volans in hoping for an opportunity to punch Tim's coworkers in the neck.

Today stinks on ice - my goddaughter's MIL died last night (fuck cancer right in the ear) and if this were the Before Times I would be writing this from the car as Jim drove us up to Whidbey. Now we're all working out what to do instead. I hate this.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm sorry, Steph. Fingers crossed for mildness.

I'm back in the office today. First time I've set foot in the place for over ten months. Weirding out a bit.

Well that sucks, Steph. I hope it’s mild.

Oof, Steph, I'm sorry. I hope that you'll also be able to get what you need to make this relatively smooth sailing.

I made scones and a loaf of bread today. Then pasta for dinner -- all carb day apparently.

Damn. I'm sorry, Steph. Obviously sending you all of the health, mild case, and smooth sailing vibes there are to be had.

Steph if you need anything dropped off, etc., just let us know.

My 87 year old stepfather has a vaccination appointment on Wednesday and my 74 year old father on Saturday. I need to see if my in-laws have been able to get appointments yet. I am encouraged!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

All of the smooth and complete recovery to you and Tim, Tep.

Fuck Tim's co-workers so hard.

Yep. If Tim wants to trade alibis...

Oh, amy, so hard. It's bad enough that other things haven't stopped causing families to lose loved ones, now we can't do any of the things we do to comfort our friends.

My parents (80 and 74) got their first doses the other weekend, which is good.

Thrive to spite them

Steph I hope you and Tim have a swift and uneventful recovery.

What I think is funny about work because everyone says the store manager is the best manager they've had and he really cares about everyone and treats us well but somehow is also recommending a person we will all hate and who will be terrible to us and it will mean people will quit it will be so bad. Because that sounds like what a terrible manager would do.
