I made my inaugural trip to Dunkin' Donuts this morning for Pumpkin Cold Brew and apple Cider Donut, an Apple Fritter and assorted other impulse buys to get me through the day. Yum. There is also a Baskin Robbins in the same building but that does not appear to be available via drive thru. n order to get an affogato it appears I will have to go in the building to get ice cream and then drive thru for my espresso. I think that is manageable, although I did not try it today.
You turn on any of my crew, you turn on me.

That sounds tasty, t! I bought a breakfast burrito when I dropped the dog at daycare. I feel very behind on things. Even though I’m not really sure I am behind on anything. Frantic Tuesday mornings are dumb and I am rebelling by….posting here instead of catching up.

That is my kind of rebellion

I just tried a white pumpkin mocha. It was a lot. Tasty, but a lot.
While I was in Michigan, I wore my mask inside in public spaces and went maskless inside with vaccinated family. It’s the same protocol I’m following in NC, as infection rates are pretty similar.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
apple Cider Donut
You bet your ass I'm getting a cider donut from the One True Apple Cider Donut place in Vermont (Cold Hollow Cider Mill).

Exactly! BTW, I also got an Apple Cranberry Refreshed off the Flavors of Fall menu because I am extremely suggestible and also thirsty (in the literal sense) but it doesn't taste much like apple or cranberry to me, it mostly just tastes like sugar.Which I suppose I should have expected but did not.
ETA I have never gone to the place I am told is the One True Apple Cider Donut place in my area because it's too long a drive to wait in such a long line for me, so I can be catholic in my donut consumption

I overslept my alarm this morning, so today has been off-kilter despite not being particularly busy so far.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In short, if you're vaccinated and wearing a mask indoors a breakthrough is still very unlikely even with Delta (1 in 5,000). Also, the emphasis on the higher viral load in Delta was somewhat misleading in that while it does make it more transmissible to unvaccinated people, if you are vaccinated you are still very protected.
My anecdotal problem is I know as many people who have gotten breakthrough infections as who got covid pre-vax. None of them have been seriously ill, but it does make me want to retreat back into my house again. (Although I did go to the movies last weekend.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Cold Hollow Cider Mill
Sticker shock! Half gallon of sweet apple cider for $11.95? Wow. Locally pressed here [link] it is $7.95, and I thought *that* was high.
