Health~ma for your mom,Matt.
I agree askye. Some types of stupid shouldn’t be rewarded with extra effort.
Yay, Mac’s new job! I hope it works out for him.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

What is even happening?
Matt, all the best to your mom, and peace of mind to you.

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.
Matt, I'm holding my thumbs for your mother, and for you.
askye, that's a lot of expectation for what sounds like an inadequate reward. I hope things ease up soon.
A dear friend is presenting today at the Pop Culture Association of America's annual conference, which I think is neat. I flashed hard on an image of three of us in a clump, reading the "Dark Phoenix" saga over one another's shoulders.
Me, I'm going to Costco, or will be once the road off the island is clear of fallen trees - fortunately the people in the car they hit are okay. Between this and all the mechanical problems with the ferries, I'm happy to be spared a daily commute.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Matt, I'm sending good vibes your mom's way.
I got shot #2 this morning, and in 2 weeks I should be chock full of antibodies! Hoping for minimal -- or no -- side effects. Allegedly shot #1 is worse than #2 for people who had Covid, because our immune system is already primed to say "Wait a minute...I recognize THIS!!!" And I did feel crappy after shot #1, but not horribly so. Fingers crossed that this shot is no big deal. I am drinking lots of water.

Steph, may your side effects be few! Ken had his second shot yesterday and was able to take today off - he says the coffee is broken and he is going back to bed.

All kinds of health -ma for your mom, Matt. And whatever kind you need, too.
askye, that sucks. Retail is so frustrating.
Yay, Steph, and I hope any reaction is mild.
We're going up to visit DP's mom and my sister and S-i-L this weekend, leaving tomorrow. Should be fun.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I got shot #2 this morning, and in 2 weeks I should be chock full of antibodies! Hoping for minimal -- or no -- side effects.

Anecdatally , my side effects were way worse (still better than having COVID) after shot #1. Shot #2 was a little fatigue, two hours of headache and some minor arm soreness. #1 was extreme exhaustion for a couple of days (slept over 20 hours, up for a couple and back to bed for a solid night's sleep) and my arm hurt a lot post-injection and got the reflare of arm pain a few days later. Better than COVID.

Thrive to spite them
Matthew finally got shot #1!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Matt, all good thoughts to you and your mom.
Yay for second shots! Definitely better than covid!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Matilda's scheduled for her second shot this Saturday, at which point the whole immediate family will be vaxxed.
In other good news, San Francisco has resumed Muni train service after 14 months without (to discourage movement through the City during Covid), and Amoeba has returned to being open 7 days a week (after being only Thurs-Sun since September, and closed before that).
