I didn't get a donut, beer or a sticker. But I did get a little card which allows me into Canada.

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.

I didn't get a donut, beer or sticker. But I did get a little card which allow me into Canada.

My Band-aid was boring, I was very disappointed. It's unlikely that there will be sparkly ones for my second on Thursday. When the border reopens, though, I will be very happy to have that card.

Ken had his first yesterday and reports feeling rather blegh - sore and fatigued, but otherwise all right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

CVS gave me a greeting card and a 20% off coupon, so that was nice.

I know I said I was going to recycle my good boxes but really I wanted to find a good home for them, and I did! There is always someone getting ready to move around here.

Happy Birthday Toddson!

All I got with my vaccination was a card and peace of mind.

Our wings are not tired.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I got no beer or sticker, but Rite-Aid provided a coupon for a BOGO ice cream. I don't know the last time I was in a Rite-Aid with anyone else, but still, it's something. I'll have to think about swinging by a Krispy Kreme soon.

Jesse, if you're on your local Buy Nothing group, there is almost always someone needing boxes.

Yes, that's what I did.

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

When I moved into this house there was a website called something like FreeBoxes that was just for posting that you had boxes someone could take away. And, I suppose, looking for boxes you could take away if you needed them, but I wasn't on that side of the transaction. Got rid of a lot of boxes that way. Good boxes that went to loving homes.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

We got a good box from Amazon today, and I told the cat that he either needed to use the box or it's getting recycled by nightfall. He is currently in his heated bed, so I assume that's permission to recycle the box.
