Thanks for following up with DX's sister and reporting back, msbelle. It sucks and blows and hurts in so many ways, but it's good to know that that loop, at least, was completed.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Thank you for doing that, msbelle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks, msbelle.

Oh she responded to me because she now has access to Ed's emails, I did not reach out to her.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Bless DX's sister for reaching out. If you check in with her again, please let her know how much it means to all of us that she did.
And thank you, JenP!
My leg is completely better, but have I gone out and walked my laps to celebrate? No, I have not. I'm irritated with myself, but not irritated enough to get out there. Tomorrow morning, maybe.
I've been darting in and out of stores running last-minute before-the-re-lockdown errands and I don't *think* I've lost LDB, but I don't pay super close attention because the song I am most earnestly trying to avoid is "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmastime," which a coworker played about 900,000 times one December in our open office and which I will hate forever because of that. That one I've already lost, though at least it was a cover and not the original. So far I've avoided the original, and I hope to stay that way.

I lost LDB yesterday. So far I've avoided the date rape song.

I have sent out the first of the Card Exchange emails, but the rest will have to wait for tomorrow.
BED TIME!

Since I currently can’t drive, I’ve been able to avoid Christmas music.
