Happy Anniversary!
What a horrible and frustrating mess, Cindy! I can imagine how furious you must be at this point. I hate insurance companies so much.
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It's our Nilly's-Favorite-Number anniversary!

Happy Anniversary!
Cindy, here's hoping your son's doctors can figure out a course of treatment without the side effects and kick insurance company ass until everything goes smoothly.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So, I had plans yesterday afternoon to get together with Emmett's best friend, Joey, who is working as a student teacher at Matilda's old elementary school. I'd already gotten together with him a couple weeks ago for burritos, but I had promised to treat him to after work drinks.
I was scheduled to meet him at 4pm in front of Amoeba, so I was trotting out the door at 3:52, and ran smack into Emmett, and his girlfriend Kalena, with Joey in tow! Surprise!
We collected Matilda and I took them all out to Alembic where we sat outside in the restaurant parklet, and I treated them to the world's best polenta fries with a delicious chimichurri sauce, Scotch Egg, Burgers, salads and super fancy cocktails. Since Emmett, Kalena and Joey had all been counselors at Matilda's away camp, they all had plenty to talk about and it was a raucous, laughy, super fun time. A great pleasure.

Today is second shot day! Yaaaay!
Yesterday I realized that all my friends will be vaccinated and the sensible sort to still wear masks, which means come late August we can hit the craft stores for the early THREAT LEVEL: PUMPKIN expedition.

That sounds scary, Cindy. I hope they figure out the issue is and can fix it relatively easily.

What is even happening?
Thanks everyone. I feel overwhelmed by it, and then by everything in the news. I would like to sign up for a medically induced coma, please.
JZ just took Matilda to get her drive-through vax.
Oh, yay!
Happy anniversary, David and Jaqueline!

Happy anniversary, David and Jaqueline!
Thank you! I just made her a salmon fillet with sauteed leeks, and a spot of lemon asparagus pesto.
And a martini.
It's too cold and grey out to go eating outdoors tonight.
