I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

If there's a Freecycle group around you, you might see if anyone in it wants the boxes.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Happy to help!

Just got my appointment for my first shot! Nothing on the island, but there's a general surgery 25 miles away in Silverdale that's offering them, and I seem to have beat the rush: everyone else over 18 is also eligible on Thursday.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well the virtual conference started today ... I was supposed to monitor one session that required a special registration and, of course, I wasn't on the registration list. I'd reminded the person in charge of registration to put me on the list Friday, but ....

It looks like the surprise assignments will be manageable ... tedious but manageable. I just wish I'd had a little advance notice and a little more info as to what was expected of me. sigh ....

A little tedium I can deal with, it's the "surprise!" assignments that get me.

Yeah surprise party or surprise bonus are okay, but surprise assignments suck.

Ysy for shots, boo for no warning responsibilities.

I forgot about Freecycle. I need to find that again, too. I will be having some useful items to give away soonish. Humidifiers and such. Amazing the difference a house makes vs. the apartment in humidity levels. Making arroz con pollo (con also some sausages) for dinner, and it smells sooooo goooood.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Arm ache is increasing and the base of my head is starting to hurt. DO NOT LIKE. I took Advil. I’ll save the Tylenol for if a fever develops.

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

Timelies all!

For some reason Mr. S woke up around 5(despite having gone to sleep after 9 the previous night) so little sleep was had after that. Just adding to the sleep deficit...
