Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I get my second jab tomorrow, so I'll probably spend the next couple of weeks scheduling all of the in-person appointments for when I'm at full immunity.

I have the worst goddamn FOMO watching everyone get vaccinated. (I can get vaccinated the first week of May, so not much longer. But still, the wait is making me so impatient!)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I also finally got notice from the IRS that I do not, in fact, owe them like $50K and the inquiry is closed. Zero regrets about paying an accountant to handle that for me.

Money well spent!

Yay not owing the IRS! Also yay vaccines!

...I had more but my brain is slow today

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yay Matilda! I'm so glad something came through for her.

Yay Shrift's accountant! I'm glad the IRS stuff is resolved.

I just had my yearly review, and it went well. I keep saying I'm going to get another job in MI, and I just have to keep this one going until then. But another job has yet to materialize, so I'm glad this one is going well. And I have a new title (not really a promotion, more a recognization that my work priorities are different now), and I can make that look good on LinkedIn. Career progress! Sort of. Anyway, I broke out the second half of a pint of Ben and Jerry's to celebrate. (Chocolate fudge brownie.)

Our wings are not tired.

Eeep. Waiting for verdict. Sending peaceful and justice thoughts.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

A co-worker shared this article today, and it really resonated with me. Languishing is *exactly* how I feel lately.

This was so helpful. Of course, I am stuck just being addicted to Best Fiends. Damn you Kevin Flynn for Crime Writers on! They have been advertising for it this whole time, and I wasn't feeling up to it. Now I am and I can't stop playing. I am acheiving flow, I guess.... Also, a Buffista is one of their favorite listeners and appears on the Patreon Book Club. Anyway, a great podcast if you like people who think critically about documentary podcasts, movies and TV series. Although the theme is true crime, it is really four smart people analyzing things, kind of like we used to do with Buffy.

I am so glad Matilda got the job!

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Chauvin guilty on all 3 counts. Thank god.

Thank god. And the jury.

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

Timelies all!

Yay for Matilda!

As a friend in Minneapolis said, she’s now worried the MPD will take it out on the city. But it’s something....

Languishing is very applicable for me.
