Y'all just reminded me that I can totally go get a massage (assuming the massage therapist is fine with clients who have had/are recovered from Covid, since we have homegrown antibodies). Right on.
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

I think I was super, extra paranoid after the previous year's hospital stays, so I just really backed off on anything that wasn't 100% necessary for my continued existence. I did see several docs in person, but I didn't have a choice, and where I did, we did telehealth.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The DH got his second shot yesterday and we are counting the days until we can go back to our favorite diner for breakfast.

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.
Hooray, Cindy!
My annual physical isn't due until next month, and I'm hoping to have had at least one shot by then. I miss my salon: it's in a strip mall between a pot dispensary and a vegan muffin shop, with a sex toy store on the other side of the parking lot. The stylists are my age and have tattoos and madly colored hair and ride dirt bikes. It is one of the best places to people watch: you get something from the muffin shop - their coffee is amazing - grab one of the lawn chairs out on the pavement and see who strolls through.

I did, too, right up until I got Covid. Well, until I recovered from it. (What I'm saying is that I also need to make a dentist appointment. A massage just sounds so much better than a teeth cleaning.) The only reason I got new glasses in December is that we had to use up the HSA or lose it, so I masked up and did it. Oh, and I had to have a physical in December or else my doctor wouldn't keep prescribing my BP meds. Kinda bullshit, but whatever.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay for more vaccinations!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
hmm - FB down and IG not loading.
I was going to get take out tonight, but I am doing the 6 week WholeLifeChallenge that starts Saturday and I still have non-compliant food in my fridge that is better used up than either wasted or tempting me once I start. So I am going to save $$ and eat stuff here instead.
Good walk with the dogs and the weather was beautiful. Blooming trees are all GORGEOUS right now. My backyard needs a mow, like WOAH. maybe I'll change clothes and do that in a bit.

Same here. Cherry Blossom Trees exuberant. Jasmine abundant.

Yeah - aside from, you know, not wanting you to have Covid, I was also, "But... but... she did everything right! What does this mean for MEEEEEE??!?!" Ahem. Not proud of it. Just saying.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
My heart swells a little bit more with every single person who reports getting jabbed.
askye, vibes and prayers and ~ma to Jay and his son and GF and all your family.
I don't really have much of anything to report, except that I'm reading again after a weirdly long zero-attention-span hiatus, and have plowed through some Octavia Butler and NK Jemisin and am currently juggling another Butler and two nonfiction books by Ijeoma Oluo plus a graphic-novel biography of Calamity Jane.
Also, I got through the anniversary of my dad's death with only one keening total collapse. At one point, decades ago, our relationship was so frayed that I would have anxiety attacks over the thought that when he died the whole family would be on display and I'd be unable to engage in even purely theatrical, performative grief, that I'd just be shrugging and indifferent and everyone would be able to tell and be disgusted. So, I guess, yay for all the crying? Well-done, self?
Anyhow, I'd rather focus on all the EFFING AWESOME VACCINATIONS EVERYONE ELSE HAS GOTTEN. Except for the stubborn fools in Matt's and msbelle's orbits, who are super damn lucky that Matt and msbelle and most other people are doing their best to help herd immunity instead of thwarting it.
