Very cool, and exciting.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Watched the news while eating lunch, yeah, I know not supposed to do that. Anyway, Chuck Todd went off a bit on both the unvaccinated, and in particular those who spread the conspiracy theories. It was pretty on point. In part,
The only people dying are the unvaccinated, and for those of you spreading misinformation, shame on you. Shame on you! People are needlessly dying because of your misinformation! Think about it. I don’t know how some of you sleep at night who are doing this for a living on television.
I heard that, Chuck Todd. You are correct.
I haven't gotten to swim yet this summer, and it's bumming me out! I will on the 10th, because we're doing a family reunion at my nephew's house, and they have a pool. I guess I need to join the rec center or something. Community pool is an idea, but it's already halfway through summer, and, frankly, it seems expensive to me. But I've never joined a pool before, so what do I know?
I wish to live at the beach.
Great news, Sumi!
Sumi, that is great news!
I get irked by the people who've decided they don't want to be vaccinated and then say they're being discriminated against. A hospital in Texas (I think it was) fired a number of nurses, etc., who refused to be vaccinated and they're suing. Bruce Springsteen opened in New York to vaccinated people only and there were unvaccinated people marching outside (closely packed, un-masked) calling it segregation. jeepers
That's good news, Sumi! I hope the treatment is minimally troublesome and completely effective.
Let's hear it for Bruuuuuuuce! Good head on that man's shoulders. I think I'm gonna queue up Thunder Road when I'm out of this meeting.
Those people have a choice & nobody’s preventing them from changing their minds & joining the vaccinated.
In co-vid related news: a colleague has switched from using her home-sewed masks to using these masks which breath a lot better than cloth masks so your face doesn’t sweat as much.
Great news, Sumi!
I went to the doctor this morning, filled a prescription this afternoon, and I have some homework to do, but at least it's a start on the whole taking care of myself like an adult.
If anyone is low-carbing it and has some good resources or recipes they'd like to share, please give me a shout. My doctor recommended it after I specifically asked. Happy to report that she did not bring up weight gain or shame me in any way about it. I just don't want to replace a good chunk of my wardrobe.
Also, I'm curious to know how Sonic works out.
I will report back after I make the switch!
Resume skills sections are the worst. Soft skills doubly so.
I'm applying for a job that I only sort of want, to make sure TPTB will accept me as qualified for the similar Job I actually want, which will come open in the near future.
