Matt, it’s a Prius, so I dunno. It wasn’t the big big battery obviously, that’s a gagillion dollars, but I’m guessing the regular battery is also more? I could look at the invoice.
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I think part of the sting for me is that while it was limited I loved the times I had with Amy and I just assumed that over the years there would be more of those times, and so I find that I'm occupied with is thinking about the lost future opportunities. Such a wonderful person.
Very much this. Socially-distanced hugs and head nods for everyone.
In CA vaccination news, M & I both got the first Pfizer jab today, thanks to our neighbor who has been working hard to get our entire building vaccinated (it's only 10 units, so it's not a massive undertaking, but it's still so kind of her to be on top of the appointment releases). My arm is sore and I'm tired, but that's about it.
We decided to let Peanut go back to school April 12 or whenever her school goes back. At her age, it's less about the learning and more about being able to be with other kids. She needs to regularly interact with someone who isn't us.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Matt, it’s a Prius, so I dunno.
The small battery was less but still some monies when I had Mom’s. Of course I sold it and all the records. But it was pricey as I recall.
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 still feel like I have, maybe, Buffista second tier in grieving. But we all mourn her. I loved her and I will miss our amyth so much. And I know that my grief 'counts' but so many will miss Amy.
I do hope that new thorough doctor comes up with a good plan. eta: after my one and only massive seizure 7 years ago my neurologist ended up saying that he never could tell me why it happened but he felt confident that it likely wouldn't happen again. I am convinced it was the combo of record level stress, persistent lack of sleep, bad diet, and alcohol that did it. I can't handle the meds so I worked hard on the other factors, and no recurrence. There have been a couple times when I felt things weren't right, and told DH right away and took a day to focus on chilling. At this point I think I got this.
Thank you, Laura. I remember that and have held you as a person to ask if the EEG turns out anything other than bland. Please let it be nothing found there.
I was still sick/recovering from Covid, under-hydrated, undernourished, unmedicated for my thyroid and generally off when I had my big seizures.
I’ve felt mild symptoms since coming home from the hospital but always with warnings and mild issues, no seizures.

Our wings are not tired.
Yay vaccines! It is such a lessening of stress to get jabbed.
Cass, it sounds very much like a bad combo of unfortunate events. Sending vibes for good brain vibes.
Top of the morning all! My 31st anniversary today. No plans. I am having a very small family gathering Sunday with corned beef (and tempeh) and cabbage and stuff. SIL from NY will be here visiting.

sj, that is awesome!
I was wide awake at 5a, fell back asleep at 6a, and now I'm groggy. Blech. Going to see whether coffee and pancakes are the cure.

Happy Anniversary, Laura!

Hooray for people with appointments!

What is even happening?
Cindy, thank you thank you thank you! Thanks to your post and insomnia I have vaccine appointments!!!
sj, I'm so glad my old teammate, insomnia, and I were of some help.
Today, Governor Baker announced the vaccine rollout schedule for everyone else in Massachusetts, so if TCG hasn't had his, sign him up when you can, too. [link]
Residents over the age of 60 and workers in certain industries will become eligible to book appointments this Monday, March 22, followed by residents over the age of 55 and individuals with at least one qualifying medical condition that puts them at an increased risk due to COVID-19 on Monday, April 5.
Then, on Monday, April 19, the state will expand eligibility to all residents over the age of 16, according to Baker’s office.
Baker is having a press conference at 10:30 EDT.
