I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

The speed at which suddenly everyone is getting shots is amazing!! I feel like half my Facebook got a shot or an appointment today or yesterday!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

For sure. They're opening it up to everyone 16+ here (and have been unofficially available for everyone 18+ at some of the PODS, which is what let DH get it), either now or Monday, depending on where you're trying to get registered. They just devolved control to the counties (and expect the rest of us to be faster than Oahu) and are expecting half again as many doses per week than they're currently getting.

My board game group will be all shotted up (both doses) by the end of the month.

Sad weekend. Maria’s mom has asked her to find options for a funeral dress for her. Maria can’t do it, so I am helping, but no one in her family can every know because her mother said she couldn’t even ask her cousin to help. So I am putting together a word document and crying.

Any suggestions? I am on Macy’s website right now.

And a friend from college, who was also a theatre friend and worked on the one-act play festival as a co-coordinator recently (before I left the theatre) is missing in Florida. Never have I ever had an instance where someone I knew went missing that ended well. I also can’t quite believe I know 4 people (now 5) who ave gone missing. Most of them were college students, and working at a University, I know more college students than the average person, I guess. This is the first time it is someone my age.

Our wings are not tired.

I am so sorry, Sophia. That is rough weekend. It is good that you can be there for Maria.

It's Scola day! Which makes me smile, because Tom's smile comes to mind. Happy Birthday Tom!

Punishingly Intricate

Happy birthday, Tom!!

I feel like I missed something, Sophia. Why does Maria's mom need a secret funeral dress?

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

Got my confirmations for both appointments from Walgreens this morning. Thanks again to dcp and shrift for telling me not to sweat it. No sweat wasted on that issue.

Hmph, my fridge and freezer are overstuffed, but I still don't have all the things I need. I suspect I need an audit and cleanout. But who wants to spend a Saturday cleaning out their fridge?

I'm filled with disgruntle because the A's have opened the season losing two to the hated Astros. Bah! At least they're playing though, as the Mets had to Covid-cancel with the Nats.

Happy Birthday Tom!

I found out that Tropical Smoothie Cafe has a special dragonfruit smoothie which I hear calling my name for lunch.

I should have been more explanatory as I haven’t posted for awhile. Maria’s mother is on hospice, so this would be a dress for her own funeral. It is only secret because she wants help from only her daughter.

Also, any ideas for simple, elegant, long sleeved pink or light blue dresses for a size 2 petite 80 plus lady that look good flat...
