Definitely, Susan. I am really hoping Washington can get our shit together and speed this up because we feel behind! And I’m sure some of it is supply issues but still!

If loving the Doritos Taco is wrong, I don't want to be right. That thing is GOOD.

::high five::

And in re Dorito Tacos - our top person, some time ago, said she'd had her first one and, when she finished, cried because it was gone ... until she realized she had a second one in the bag.

Ah, ha, ha, ha! I feel that. I won't tell you how many I ate. It was more than two. Ahem.

Thanks for all the good wishes!

I qualify in VA, but for some reason, I guess the pharmacies aren't into 1b yet (which is me), but I'm still on the County List. Which is not moving very fast, bless them.

Congrats on the house, JenP!

Good luck on a quick and lucrative offer on yours, Laura!

A cute house that I'd been keeping an eye on went on the market yesterday, but has already been removed this morning. I'm going to take that as a sign that I'm too busy to dive into the house search with both feet at this time.

Woohoo! I finally got the promotion I’d been waiting for for almost two years! It’s just a title bump (and the associated raise was...5%, so barely more than COLA) but I’d sworn up and down if they didn’t give it to me this year I’d leave. Whew.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I'll keep being patient and doing the right thing, living my life of extreme introversion and masking, often double-masking, when I have to go out, but I sure hope the vaccine goalposts start moving in the right direction, or at least stay still, sometime soon.

ETA Huzzah, meara!

Punishingly Intricate

Congratulations, meara!!!

Have you filed a claim with the moving company, Toddson? That's so frustrating.

Because books.

Congratulations, meara!

Yay for the new house, JenP!

Fingers crossed for wonderful offers, Laura!

Now I want Taco Bell.
