I'm sorry, Hil. It must be so hard not to be with your family as you all mourn your aunt.

R got her first vax shot today! I think I'm more excited than she is.

I'm sorry, Hil. I. hope you can find something local to do to remember your aunt.
Hec, I have my fingers crossed that something comes through for Matilda.
I'm having a socially distanced Easter brunch with a couple of friends. The weather should be sunny and in the 70s, so we can sit on my porch and sidewalk and chat, while being far enough away for safety. We've all had our first shots, but I'm waiting until two weeks after our second before doing anything inside. Luckily, spring in NC makes it pretty nice to hang out outside most days.

Our wings are not tired.
At my sister's house today. Took her for her 2nd shot today. Not as easy as my side. We were there hours. But done!
I'm sorry, Hil. It is so much harder at a distance.
Sending ~ma for all things to turn Matilda's way.
Many wishes for happiness in your new digs, JenP!

Congratulations on your new place, JenP!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am a little ascared to try and make Mayo! But maybe tomorrow with my stick blender.
Hil, I hope your local group can help. It seems so hard to be so far away.

Thanks, all!
Sophia, I've made it successfully with a stick blender before. You can do it!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You can get good results making mayo with a stick blender and not being super careful with the traditionally fiddly bits - you don't necessarily have dribble in a thin stream of oil while you blend, , for example, but can basically put everything in a jar and blend it up and still get mayonnaise. Google "easy homemade mayo" and enjoy!

Hec, I have my fingers crossed that something comes through for Matilda.
She's got a Zoom job interview at 5:20 PST! Wish her some -ma, Buffistas! She needs a lift.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so sorry, Hil. How incredibly difficult. The distance and being cut off from the rituals that sustain you make the loss so much harder.
25 minutes to the interview! Matilda spent some time fiddling with the lighting to get it just right.
