And I am SO MAD that low-carb/keto makes me feel better, because we have a professional baker living with us.

If we keep him home from school for symptoms that could be covid, we have to show a negative pcr test to come back. But there's not guidance on what to do about vague mild symptoms that wouldn't normally require staying home from school. I guess if he still has them Monday we'll keep him home?

Now, of course, I am feeling vaguely ill myself, in probably psychosomatic fashion.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That seems reasonable to me

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, I was feeling sick before I got my negative test back..... Good luck, Dillo!

Yeah, my niece is a baker and there is no sense even visiting her bakery. Sniff

Negative~ma for Dillo! They have a sign at the local pharmacy that says they have the home tests. We were wondering what kind of shelf life they have since it might be a good thing to have on hand.

Yeah, they have dates on them, and they are at least months out, although now I can't remember specifically.

I haven’t seen any of the home tests but if I did I think I might buy a couple.

Atropa, I actually am friends with Adi! But have never been to them for hair, I didn’t know they did a lot of color!

At my CVS, they are behind the counter, so you might not know they were there, for what that's worth.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

From a ways back: t Half gallon of sweet apple cider for $11.95? Wow.

After living in the Deep South for more than 11 years, I would happily pay twice that price for real, fresh-pressed, no-preservative apple cider. It's one of the things I miss most about New England. Though we did find an apple orchard outside of Asheville a few years back (maybe 2017?) that had cider - we bought like 4 gallons of it. And they had fresh cider donuts! I think about that place a lot.

Still living in Texas. It's fucking weird here. I thought I'd be prepared for truly shitty state government, having lived in Louisiana under Bobby Jindal, but Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton really take the cake for malfeasance, misogyny, racism, fascism, and greed.

Got to see some friends who evacuated New Orleans for Austin, so that was bittersweet.

We have a new cat, a foster fail ginger we have named Milton in honor of The Suicide Squad character.

Need to get on top of the flu/shingles vaccine soon.

Ha! I should have known you’d know Adi, meara. Go to them for all your hair needs.
