You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I salute you from "Can we just spend ten minutes tidying something rather than spending four hours tackling the entire task, which of course requires cleaning the dust mop so we can use it, because ten minutes from now I'm going to regret bringing it up?"

And it ends up in a pile, sitting there, not being purged at all.
Oh look, it's our house.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I have weed-eaten. It took 10 minutes. The battery was fine. My husband lives.

God, I really *am* weak and tired after Covid. The weed eater is light, but my arms are shaking so hard right now. This post-Covid bullshit is indeed the bullshittiest.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Tired and cranky this morning.(It doesn't help that Mr. S has been annoying for most of the day.) Went to the local kosher supermarket for Passover stuff for us and for my MIL. Tomorrow is my telework day, and I will be running my MIL's stuff to her house at some point. Whee.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
In my experience, the post-Covid is the bullshitiest. Just in the weak, tired and brain fog symptoms, not even taking into consideration the hyponatremia and seizures. Maybe the brain fog is hyponatremia, I am not sure. But it sucks.
And it ends up in a pile, sitting there, not being purged at all.
Oh look, it's our house.And mine. Ugh.
I have a "Bag for Seattle" but I don't think it's ever making it to Seattle. I'm hoping it makes it to the good resaler / womens' shelter which is the pile it currently lives in.

I am sorry for your weariness, Steph and Sheryl.
Jim told me about a friend of ours who is in the process of emptying the home he shared with his late wife; he remarried earlier this year - my first Zoom wedding, much better than all the funerals - and they are selling two homes to purchase a new one. And if I let my brain linger too long on "all of Barry and Miriam's stuff", it will short out and hide in a corner, for 40 years in one place is a LOT.

Our wings are not tired.
One back bedroom is just a large junk drawer, and we don't want to think about the garage or attic. It is just overwhelming. Need to purge, but have to find a method of doing it in small chunks.
Had a 'huge' gathering today, mostly outside. 12 adults and 3 kids. SIL and a couple friends are down visiting from NY. My son and his family, DH's siblings and mother. It was a gorgeous day so sliding glass doors were open and most of us were outside, except those watching basketball inside. It was really nice, although noisy, to have a bunch of family around. (all were mindful, at least half of us were either fully vaccinated or post Covid) I made corned beef and cabbage, and a tempeh variety for the vegans. Tasty. Tired now, but still have to finish cleaning up.

Oh, I never answered your question, Cindy. We move on Thursday. Movers come between 9a and 10a!
DP wanted a nap this afternoon after our drive, so I helped him by rubbing his back. Two hours later, I woke up. I am so helpful! To be fair, he did fall asleep, too... for an hour.
