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.

Scrappy, are you working with a realtor, and can you ask them to communicate with the buyer's realtor about working with an Islamic-compliant finance company? This article is from 2007, but might it give you some ideas?

Gah, the ever-unnerving "Hey, can you rush right over and get this thing that's probably nothing checked out yesterday?" call. I'm sorry. I'll hold my thumbs for you.

Damn, Scrappy. That's plenty to be anxious about.

I'm, uh, having fun dealing with different levels of risk tolerance while visiting my family. There's a bonfire tonight where a lot of people have said they are coming, and some of these people are anti-vaxxers. I'm not comfortable spending any time with grown ass adults who are anti-vaxxers, but if there are thunderstorms and we need to go inside, I definitely don't feel comfortable being indoors with these people. Not that it matters much if the rest of my family are indoors with them unmasked.

It's easier for me because I don't live here, but I'm way more comfortable than my family being the only one wearing a mask in indoor public places and being blunt about not wanting to have certain kinds of people in my life. I just scheduled a COVID-19 test for the Monday after I get back, because Jesus Christ.

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

Timelies all!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oh, Shrift, that is not good. gonna pray for good weather.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is a lot, scrappy! Hoping for the best.

Good luck, shrift.

I am still living in the non-covid world, possibly unwisely, but I have had a really fun day. Drag brunch, random shopping, another drink and snack at a good restaurant, and now I'm awaiting houseguests. I need to drink more water before they get here.

I'm, uh, having fun dealing with different levels of risk tolerance while visiting my family.

There was that glimmer of hope for a bit that we might have a normal summer. My anger level is almost as high as my doctors. They are outright pissed. It was one thing for them to deal with it last summer when there wasn't a way to be safe. Now they are exhausted and dreading another big surge.

I'm sorry that you have to deal with this, shrift.
