Sitting here smiling at the thought of amyparker and Beverly hanging out together.

Otter Lake has been chilly and rainy as I progress with the massive clean up. I've managed the kitchen and bathroom and some laundry but not much more. This morning I have grocery pickup 40 minutes away. $210 worth of groceries! Each year all the basic stuff and loading the freezer. I can't even leave canned goods here over the winter because of the freeze thaw thing. I scheduled the pickup at 7-8 AM because I wake up at 5:30 because it is so light out.

Mostly I'm enjoying my alone time and chillin' with my sister. Life is hectic and noisy in Florida, while here it is relaxed and quiet. I saw my first deer as I left my son's house. On Buck Hill Road, which I found appropriate.

Nilly calendar tells me today is sarameg's birthday. Sending best thoughts and wishes for perfect pool conditions.

Still got the sore throat and general blah-ness, but as symptoms go, it's pretty mild. Now I have to figure out when I should freak out and get a COVID test.

Ugh, Dana. I say go get one. It doesn't hurt to check, and you might worry if you don't.

Hi, all. I'm still skimming along here and thinking of you all. Had a good chuckle at the clafoutis/hammock exchange. I'm SUPER LUKCY because I am currently sitting in the House of Javachik. It's raining and cool and lovely here.

waves in the direction of Pix and Javachik. It is raining and cool here and quite lovely when compared to the rainy and hot at home. I have picked up all the groceries and put them away, and went over to my sister's for spinach quiche. Since they don't allow one use bags here (yay) they bagged all the groceries in my bags right in my car trunk. That was different, and nice.

Wish I could have seen you guys last night, but Ethan and I had an ACTUAL GAME NIGHT with friends we haven't seen since last February (I know the exact date because their Leap Day party was the last pre-pandemic social event we went to)!

I keep keeping emails about anxiety training. No thank you, I'm already perfectly good at getting anxious.

That sounds awesome! My last two game sessions have just been my daughter and I playing Lords of Waterdeep. It's fun, but we'd both like to have another player or two.

Yay, game night and buffista gatherings! I'm going to see Black Widow and to dinner with thessaly and Victor on Saturday and I cannot wait! We've seen them since being vaccinated but we haven't been out all together with ltc (who will be at my in-laws).

And here's a safety message from Denmark ... showing that some things are eternal.

Yay game nights and Buffista gatherings! (Which autocorrect wanted to be buddhist and I think we aren’t quite like that….)

Dog wasn’t sure last night if he loved me or hated me—on the one hand I spent two hours petting him and touching him! On the other hand I kept pulling his hair and trying to brush him.
