What is even happening?

And even though I've been getting Jacqueline Second Coffee every morning for a year now, she still acts surprised, pleased and grateful when I'm handing it to her.

I get that. When DH gets up before me (almost always), he has a cup of coffee waiting for me, when I get downstairs. I am surprised, pleased, and grateful every day.

Many days, it's the nicest thing that will happen to me. (I'm not whining here, either. It's just rare, in life, that someone thinks to do a kindness like that.)

Brendon is like this. Although I have been cooking most of the meals for over 30 years he still acts like it is the best thing ever that I cooked for him, every single time. It is quite endearing.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Still have no word on MD opening up to phase 2, which is when I’ll be eligible.

I love that so many people are getting vaccinated. It seems the delivery has moved into high gear.

Mac’s car needs almost $3k in work. Catalytic converter, struts, a few other small things. Ugh. Still cheaper than a new car and this work should make the car good for several more years.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My stimulus $ showed up in my bank account, yay! I've used it to pay bills, woohoo!

Well, we can pretty much guess where this is going to work out.

Ours hit, too, and it's earmarked for new windows. (Jesus, windows are expensive. I miss being a renter sometimes.) We still need to renovate the bathroom, but we put that off last year because we had no idea how Covid might affect the economy/our jobs. But we seem to be doing fine (medical editing is a fantastic career during a pandemic), so hopefully we can renovate that nasty-ass bathroom this year.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

My tier (1c, I think) is now eligible. But the challenge of actually finding an appointment is a bit daunting, now that I'm actually trying to find one.

"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

Tier 1c just opened up this week in my state. I think I'm technically in that group if I play the high BMI card, but I'd feel guilty about adding to the rush since my work isn't public facing and I seem to be less bothered by social distancing than the vast majority of people.

msbelle, my apologies to your mechanic if it was the extra pricey battery at fault.
