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

My university had several vax sites open to staff and instructors, and they all had Pfizer. So that’s what I got.

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

Timelies all!

Mixed marriage here. I'm Team Moderna, since that's what NIH was giving their employees. Gary's Team Pfizer, and has an appointment for his second shot Friday.(He went through the county site.)

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.

Jim's mother is in the hospital with a fever. I have said no, I'm sorry, our limit is one parent hospitalized per week, she'll simply have to get better and go home.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Excellent advice, amyparker. Let's hope she does just that!

Dana, there's a fic writer who was very prolific in SGA and SPN fandoms on LJ. Most of her stuff migrated to AO3, and she is now writing in CQL, just as an observance of trivia.

Hooray for everybody getting whatever kind of vaccine they can, even if they have to fly from another country to do it!

So very frustrated with dealing with Mr. S. He's been annoying, bossy and rude a lot lately,

You make reasonable proclamations, amyparker.

Sorry you're dealing with that, Sheryl.

I had brunch OUTSIDE at a RESTAURANT with a FRIEND today for the first time in a year and a half. Joy. All fully vaccinated, natch. It was a beautiful day, too. So nice.

Ah, Sheryl, I'm sorry. You can love your kids and still have moments of wanting to load them into the bucket of a trebuchet.

JenP, BRUNCH!!!!!! That is a very happy thing.

Ken just texted me a photo of the bread he baked. He has pronounced the required starter sponge "extremely gross", but is delighted with the results.

amyparker, yeah. There's a song by some German filkers with the chorus "It's ok to want to throw your child out the window. It's ok, yes it is, but it's not ok to do".

It must be the age, we're dealing with the same behavior lately with ltc.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My church opened for walk-in services (previously, it was streaming/online or with a reservation). It's been over a year. Distancing, all kinds of cautions, hand sanitizer before communion (wine in little paper cups that will be burned), but still ... PEOPLE! elbow bumps all around! it was nice ... I put on real makeup and nice clothes. yay!

And the mother of House Moderna is Dolly Parton, in case you forgot.
