Our wings are not tired.

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.

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.

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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.

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.

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.

Just transferred two credit card balances to a 0% card for the next 9 months. I was just going to pay them down with the stimulus, but that is all going to car work now. 0% interest will get me close if not quite to 0 debt.
