Jeez. I have had my phone in silent mode possibly since I got it, all the while wondering why I was missing calls. And now I have rolled my eyes right out of my head at myself, so that's not going to increase productivity
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The downside to Mr. S going to sleep fairly quickly is that he's woken up early the last few days.(and then demands "Daddy open my door!" when there is nothing physically preventing him from doing it himself. sigh)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
She's 95 next week, and Prince Charles does not inspire affection.
Never mind him, the one that gives me the wig is Camilla peering gimlet-eyed like a Dark Crystal muppet beneath her haystack of raw flax and her tiara the size of a garden fence--or hat the size of a small ketch in full sail. I'm surprised Wills' tots call her granny instead of "Mrs. Grandpa."

The dress up vaccine friend of a friend of Jesse's is awesome! (Though obviouy not the fact that she had to postpone everything.)
I was in the first of five (9a-4p!) Zoom sessions for a workshop given by the JCA in our area for job seekers 50+. It was pretty good! Then the facilitator called after it was over today to ask whether I would be the mock interviewee for the group (that happens Monday). I cheerfully agreed. I think there was a time in my life that that would have made me so self-conscious! That time, apparently, has passed. Getting older def has its benefits. Anyway, I was so tickled. "They like me! They really like me!" Total goofball, I am.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Dylan went back to in-person school today for the first time since last March, and I thought I'd prepared myself for all possible reactions, but the first thing he said when I asked how it went was "I'm taller than all the teachers now."

Ha!
Matilda won't be on her school campus at all this year. But her friend Mia (down in San Bruno, a half hour south of SF) will be, and now Matilda is worried that she can't see Mia because her cohort is too big. And...I don't know really know how to parse the risk there.

David - keep meetings outside (as long as the weather allows this)?

Our wings are not tired.
That is very cool, JenP!
Ugh, David. That is tough. It is much easier as adults to deal with the concept of this too shall pass.
