"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm not qualified because I foolishly lost 50 lbs. What was I thinking?!

I got Matilda up at 7am this morning for her early morning run with Iris. I'm still happily boggled that she's maintained her discipline with this.

Iris' family are off to Mexico over spring break and I'll be dogsitting their dog, Cupid, for a couple days. Cupid loves me because I sneak her turkey.

Cashmere will be happy to know that Matilda's added lifting a 5 lb hand weight while she's watching anime now. She lifts with one arm for an entire episode then switches to the other arm for the next episode.

I think the anime may have inspired some of the exercise desire. In the shows she watches everybody's training all the time. I don't love the low level sexism in a lot of anime, but I do appreciate them pushing the value of hard work and improving yourself.

But does Matilda Naruto run? Seriously, I'm glad she's really digging in on this, too. It seems like the sort of habit that's great to start when young.

You and me both. (Well, not 50, 20-25ish, but knocked my BMI down *just enough*), that, with being 3 months shy of 50 (Hi, Steph!) and my asthma being very mild seems to be implying that I won't get jabbed until it's open to the general populace.

Heh! More like Phoebe in Friends.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Buffista parents have probably already seen the new CDC guidelines for physical distancing in schools? 3 feet between masked students is the updated recommendation, which means both of mine will probably be going back in person in April!

Still 6 feet for middle and high schools, though, “when community spread is high,” which it is in my city. We have to decide by Monday. I’m leaning Casper (the senior) goes back and Dillo (9th grade, has gym and study hall so useless exposure) not.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I just got Pfizerized.
