Our wings are not tired

As of yesterday half of my employees now have their first shot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, that's excellent.

That is a beautiful thing to read.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

my car issue was the battery. Just under $500 for jump start, full check up, and new battery installed.

Was the mechanic wearing a black eye mask and a striped shirt? That seems like more than twice what that should cost, unless it's some special ultra-pricey battery.

PSA, the Tik Tok pasta is equally if not more delicious for next day reheating.

ND, that's fantastic news!

msbelle that is positive but not fantastic.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I found a variation on the Tik Tok recipe - it includes slices of lemons, says to include capers and/or olives to increase the saltiness ... and that the pasta is optional. I may try it ... sometime ... and halve the recipe, since it's just me.

Oh that sounds good. We've been speculating about all the potential variations. It would definitely halve easily.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

It's going to be interesting feeding Mr. S during Passover this year. He's gotten rather picky, and most of the stuff he will eat has bread or pasta in it. (He'd happily eat pizza, grilled cheese and mac-n-cheese every day if we let him)

move out and draw fire

Hey all. I have been grieving Amy and I feel bad about it, because I know that many of you were closer to her and I should have been here supporting you, but I just didn't have the spoons. It was a weighted-blanket-and-couch weekend.

So hugs to everyone now, in properly socially distanced and non-space invasive form.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

There's no place for "should" in grieving. We all knew and loved her, and it's hitting us in different ways. That's just the way of it. I've spent the last few days sort of numb and foggy, just wanting to sleep all the time. (I also got my second shot on Sunday, which was a bit of yay in the midst of gloom, but also made me sleepy.) Listening to her playlist helped. I was able to dance a bit and that helped me access some happy memories.
