Starbucks in NYC now have entry signs saying masks are optional for vaccinated patrons. Which, given that tourist season is here, I'm not sure is such a smart idea.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, it sucks that leaving is sometimes the only way forward.

Thrive to spite them
Cindy i hope you can get the insurance company to change their stance.
Msbelle sorry about Mac.
I got an update from Mom. She's coming home..she will stay tonight with a friend and be in NC tomorrow.
My aunt has been extremely difficult and I guess there was some sort of disagreement and my aunt flipped Mom off and mom is done with her.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
The hoarding folks who came over yesterday treated the mold in the office and hauled a lot of stuff out of the basement. They'll be back tomorrow to haul out the rest of the stuff from the basement and treat the mold there. (I was slightly mistaken on what they were doing to the office -- they were only treating the mold, not hauling stuff out, which I'm disappointed about. That said, Tim has already gotten a lot of stuff out of the office himself. I told him that I want the office to be usable for him, so we'll keep working on getting stuff out of there together, so help me god.)
I asked him how he was feeling about all the stuff being hauled out of the basement yesterday, and he said "Lighter." Like it's a load off his shoulders to get the basement cleaned out. And I guess it damn near literally is. I was worried about him being upset or stressed about it, so I'm glad it's having a good effect on him.

Punishingly Intricate

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
and he said "Lighter."
Excellent! That is the way forward.
We just had our umpteenth Zoom call with financial advisors dealing with JZ's dad's estate. Exciting phrases like "early retirement" and "have you been looking at listings to get a sense of the market," and "but what if the return on investment was higher than your anticipated budget" and "traveling business class to Greece" were bandied about.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I would like to travel business class to Greece. There is no word in that sentence I do not like.

Right?! JZ and Matilda went and stayed with relatives there in summer of 2019, but this time Emmett and I could go too, and we could stay longer (provided we had a guinea pig sitter).
Obviously we're talking about 2022, but still exciting.

Well, those are certainly pleasant things to consider. Lovely.
