I thought that I accepted this, and then spent yesterday unable to do much at work (one of the least productive days I've ever had there). Today a part of me is back again not believing that this is real and insisting that this is unacceptable and not true.
Prepare to uncouple -- uncouple.

I do hope that she knew how much she touched all of our hearts. I think she did. Such a beautiful soul. I'm so grateful for the all too brief time spent with her in our lives.

Laura, she did know. As terrible as this loss is, she had the gift of spending a lot of time (*while knowing* her time was coming to a close) to spend with beloved friends to say goodbye. She really loved the giant Buffista Zoom where we all shared how much we loved her. And I know she had a lot of in-person time in the last few months with her North Carolina peeps.

I'm feeling sad and tired.

Thanks, javachik. I know many of us told her in writing or in person, and I know she was surrounded by love. As painful as the loss is, it does help.

As of today, I'm technically eligible for vaccination because of BMI, which I feel some kind of way about much like everyone else. There were appointments this morning when I started to check availability, but then I had to go to a bunch of meetings and now there are none. Now I have calendar reminders to check every morning as soon as I wake up.

DH could in theory get his vaccine if he claimed his chonkiness and went to Miami, but he is waiting until it is closer to home and available for his age bracket.
I really enjoyed the Grammy Awards last night. Granted, I usually do enjoy them, but I thought they did a good job with the restrictions. Loved some of the coordinated mask ensembles too.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My work computer has refused to adjust to DST, and I sympathize, but looking at the clock and thinking it's 2:16 feels very different from realizing it's 3:16.

Right there with you.
Hugs and love to everyone.

Timelies all!
Today was my telework day, and as usual, I finished my work before lunch.
