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.
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

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.

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.

What is even happening?

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am sad and tired as well. Holding all of you in my heart.
We did get raises this year, 2.5% for me, which does not seem like enough to get excited about but is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Haven't gotten our appraisals back but the raise hit on today's paycheck which is odd but kind of nice (I would be bummed if I hadn't gotten one after finding that out and not having an appraisal to know why, though)
And my new (refurbished) phone came today and I successfully moved the SIM card and it's restoring from backup so it will be as if nothing disrupted my phone having soon enough. I assume.
