What is even happening?

Hil, I am so sorry. Boston is not a good place to be, right now. Our COVID rates are on the rise. This week we have 32 cities/towns at high risk. Last week it was 20. The week before it was 14. Meanwhile, our Republican governor has dropped the travel restrictions to a travel advisory.

Ask and the internets shall provide

I love that.

I'm sorry you were feeling so bad after the vaccine. I'm glad it's almost gone.

My 20 y.o. didn't have the side effects we expected from his second shot. Because he's on immunosuppressants (and in fact had an infusion two days after his second Pfizer shot), I'm not exactly worried -- I just would have liked it better if he felt even a smidgen warm to the touch. He did report feeling achy though.

Hil, I’m so sorry.

My condolences, Hil.

Happy Passover to those who observe!

The status is NOT quo.

Much love to all. Drew and I have an appointment shortly and can't come to the Zoom, but we send our love.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Hil.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm so sorry, Hil

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hil, I'm so sorry.

I am also very sorry I had the Zoom in my head for much later this afternoon.

It’s weird that you have to think strategically about Good Stuff, Jesse, but I’m glad you are on top of it.

To be sure, I mostly don't think strategically about it!

In so sorry, Hil.

We got stuck out longer than I thought we would; I'm sorry to have missed the Zoom.

In completely trivial news, I found the salt, and we got a lot put away this morning in the hunt for it before going out. I just did a bunch more, so the kitchen is almost done, yay.

In funny news, we bought two patio chairs at Target and realized about halfway to the car that they probably wouldn't fit... we were right. They're super light, non-spendy chairs, but too big for a Civic, nonetheless. So DP called for a "big" Lyft, and I rode home with the chairs, ha!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm sorry for your loss, Hil.

That was so smart, though!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hil, I'm so sorry about your aunt.
