Gud checked in with me. Was feeling overwhelmed on Friday with so many new work and family responsibilities. He sounded okay today.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Today we celebrate the birth of our beloved Empress Aims! May this be the best year ever. Also, take care of your noggin' my dear, it is one, yet only one, of our most favorite parts of you.

Happy Birthday Aimée!
I was not comforted yesterday by driving behind a pickup with custom law enforcement plates and a Proud Boys insignia on the back window. To protect and serve... NeoNazi domestic terrorists?

Ick, Matt! I don't even like following cars with Trump bumper stickers. That would be way worse.
Thank you for the update, David. I hope that Gud knows how much he is loved 'round these parts.

And Matilda is finally back on a school campus with other students. She's got a two hour orientation that started at noon (took a Muni bus and arrived with three whole minutes to spare).
She is excited to see her teachers from last year who she's never seen in person, except her science teacher briefly handing out text books last year. She is also psyched to get to hang with her two friends there, MI and Ruby.
Her Sophomore year of high school starts next Monday, the 16th.

Sophomore! I'm agog.
I went to a lovely potluck in Glen Park on Saturday and there was a ton of food and people were great, and now I'm worried I shouldn't go to book club tomorrow in case I contracted the delta. SIGH.
This whole delta thing is just argh.
And I just booked a hotel for work travel in late September. I don't want to get on a plane!

Yay for back to school. How did the summer gig go for her?
This whole delta thing is just argh.
Seriously. I did a test before I came to FL. Haven't gone anywhere or did anything so hoping I don't have to do it again when I get back to NY, but I might anyway. I can't get a sniffle without wondering. The thing with vaccinated people being asymptomatic carriers is very concerning.
