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.

{suggests to Ken that I am not controlling him properly} {am asked to please stop making him laugh that hard in the office}

I think that may be a non-starter, Teppy.

Ha!

Boxes picked up! And it lit a fire under me to empty a few more to get as many out as possible by this afternoon. The boxes left are basically just DP's clothes that don't fit at the moment that we weren't going to rush to unpack anyway.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

So I had an vax appointment for this afternoon, but I got a call last night telling me they had to cancel because it was for the J&J. They re-scheduled me for next week, saying I'd get email confirmation in a few days. Ok, that was all fine until I just got a text reminder for today's appointment.

I'm guessing this is an automated system that didn't get turned off, but the pharmacy can't handle questions over the phone and the link from the original confirmation email goes to a blank page. Do I trust that next week is set or do I race to the south loop just in case?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Pretty sure that Ken is still the teenage boy that sick animals find to comfort them as they leave. Pretty much Dickon but modern and pretty goth.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hey, I am getting a Baskin Robbins/Dunkin' Donuts nearby! I'm not even sure why I am excited about this but I am. Do I need a reason beyond drive-thru donuts and ice cream? Maybe not.

It's going into a high turnover spot that was last a Del Taco, which I was excited about when it was new as well. I have a sentimental attachment to Del Taco because it was the go to midnight run for munchies at my college dorm, and also it bought out Senor Naugles which had the guy who played Harry Mudd on ST:TOS as their spokesperson (I went to Harvey Mudd College, we were pretty excited about Harry Mudd) so I still kind of think of Del Taco as really being Senor Naugles in disguise

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

-t, I got a Dunkin Donuts next store to me, and it was very exciting!

All of these children should be super tiny

I had today off for Maria’s moms funeral mass/calling hours/etc. Her niece, who I used to play with as a tiny child hugged me! We are not a huggy family. It was so hard to social distance even as a non hugger, and I have had my second vaccine. I understand that it might be easier to just not have anything right now, because it was unpossible not to hug. I met her friend Heather who we always talked about and she talked about me, so we felt like we knew each other, and we had to at least shake hands.

And the dress looked great!

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

Timelies all!
