I just want to say that it's so nice to be here and read posts from people who are excited about getting vaccinated. Living in Texas, I feel like I'm surrounded by anti-mask, anti-vax nut jobs, and it's nice to know that there are sane people out in the world.

Congratulations to all who are vaccinated or are about to be. There is a light at the end of this tunnel.

I think the nutjobs here are a minority, though they're certainly loud, and there's more of them than I'd like. I hope that enough people will get vaccinated to make things safe.

The people I spoke with giving vaccines said it was such a change of pace to have everyone happy, excited, and grateful to get a needle stuck in their arm. They said it has been an awesome experience.

I am back home! Brendon ripped apart our utility room to move around the washer and dryer and install a bunch of cabinetry. He did not complete the project before my return, but it is super nifty. When he is done I'll post FB pics.

I never watched The O.C., but I feel like I did, from the old days in Natter. I just saw on Twitter that Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke have started a re-watch podcast aptly titled, "Welcome to the O.C., Bitches!" [link]

Timelies all!

Pizza order has been placed.

We ordered Indian from a place nearby, and it was really good. Yay.

Also, a nice neighbor stopped by with a hanging plant for our backyard, some cupcakes, and a lovely card! I was taking a nap, but DH spoke with her. So kind! We will reciprocate, of course, but how neighborly. Our landlords said she was a nice lady, and he was right. We might even have neighbors we can, like, invite over for dinner and stuff. Like people did in the olden days.

We had Chinese food for dinner, which was yum, and I have two days worth of yummy leftovers to look forward to!

Watched "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" which while fairly un-Easter-y was pretty damn good. (Cut to me saying "THAT was Viola Davis? Damn.")

Is Chadwick Boseman in that?

He is, Tep. [link]

That was a great movie! And my mom would love it. I wish I could get her to share my Netflix account, but she thinks it is immoral/illegal. I should probably just lie to her and say I bought it for her... Maria and I share, but we sort of pretend in our minds we are one household. She has Disney Plus and Time Warner, and I have Netflix and Hulu. And we both have prime.

My missing friend was found by his brother and is in the hospital. No further details, but I am so happy. It never has turned out well before. I guess we don’t know if it will turn out well, but he is found and alive!

And Maria’s mom’s dress will be delivered Monday, so maybe I will get to do a fitting. Which sounds terrible, except her mom really, really wants to look good, so I will do whatever it takes to make that happen.
