I’m super excited because the bar we dance at, which just started dancing back up two weeks ago, decided to move to vax-only!! I was feeling awkward about the dancing but went the first night, but now I will feel much better about it (I know most of the folks were vaccinated anyway but still).
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Empress, it is such a relief to see your pixels. Here's to a little better each day.
Its no surprise that E has grown up to be so brave and strong, but it is wonderful to see.

I'm trying to figure out what makes sense for our Planet Fitness. It's huge, well ventilated, they have two "off" treadmills between every working one, and it's never crowded, but... working out with a mask on seems not ideal. Inconvenience is better than disease, though.
Honestly, if it weren't so freaking hot no matter what time of day, I'd just do my Zombie Run training outside and probably back off on weights for the time being. Maybe add a Zoom yoga. Ergh. I dunno.
It's the first time in my life I've ever been consistent with exercise, and, you know, at this point it's about staying mobile as I age more than anything else, so... will figure it out. Also, DP is exercising, too, and I don't want him to lose his momentum either as it is doing him just as much good.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We had an outage in a server in our distribution center which apparently has brought shipping to a complete standstill and also is preventing us from importing new orders, so I am twiddling my thumbs waiting for that to get fixed. It's kind of relaxing, although ominous for probably needing to work late once things are moving again

A local museum gift shop used to sell (might still, I haven't been there for a while) a martini glass with a quote from Ms. Parker: "I'll have one martini, two at the most, three and I'm under the table, three and I'm under the host".

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm slightly paranoid, so when I started reading about how the Delta variant is hitting Israel, which has a higher vaccination rate than the US, I bought a box of KN95s. I feel like maybe I should buy more. I don't think cloth masks are going to cut it with this Delta variant.
My mask-making neighbor has ordered us all a bunch of KN95s and is starting up her cloth mask making again because a) we'll be wearing them for a while and b) she figures we need new colors/patterns since we've been wearing the others long enough to be bored with them. Which is its own source of sadness. Still, it's nice to get a face-wardrobe refresh.
