Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

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

Very nice, dcp! Somehow, the hummingbird in the video looks huge to me. I know how big those feeders are, so I know it isn’t, but my brain is getting tricked by something.

Hmmm. Curious. Depth-of-field issue, perhaps? The camera was about four feet away from the feeder, and the wall in the background is at least another ten feet away.

Let me know if you figure it out.

I am still amazed at how good cellphone cameras have become. (And my cellphone is almost two years old, now.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My Mother met with the Oncologist today. Stage 1, 6mm - she will have a lumpectomy in the next couple of weeks, we think (they were waiting to hear from surgeon). After that, several weeks of radiation.

Really about the best news it could be.

Oh, that is good news.

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

Yay for good news!

Continued good vibes to her, and I'm glad it's promising news.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Least-bad news is as good as can reasonably be hoped for. Yay!

Definitely least-bad news, that’s great, msbelle!! Fingers crossed it continues to go as easy as possible.

I got to go DANCING tonight!!! It was amazing and exhausting and my feet hurt and my shoulders were tired (apparently I’ve not had to hold up my arms for multiple minutes at a time, like you do when partner dancing, this pandemic??) plus got to see friends and even when I wasn’t dancing, just be super happy to watch other people dancing. Yay. It was a one-off event at the ballroom, vaccinated only, limited capacity. But so good. Even walking home in the pouring rain with friends who live in the neighborhood was so nice.

I do suspect I’ll have a headache in the morning though.
