I'm glad you're taking steps, meara!
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Our wings are not tired.
First, Happy Birthday to Nora! I was greeted with a memory on FB this morning of the NOLA party 8 years ago. That was indeed a good time. I hope the day is grand and that the year to come is joyful.
What a mess, meara. I hope it gets all settled very quickly.
I have an iPhone, which does updates automatically. I checked but it said nothing available so hopefully okay. I did yesterday get a random linky sent via FB messenger. I know the person would not be sending me links and deleted it followed by letting her know. Sheesh.
Guess I should spend some time doing password changes and stuff. I'll go through the lists of compromised passwords per browser warnings, but half the time the websites don't even exist anymore for me to change them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Froze my credit today too, which is annoying when I want to buy a car soon but better safe than sorry.
In my (now possibly out of date) experience, it just means they call when someone wants to anything. So like, I was opening a store credit card and while I stood there, the credit report company called me to let me know that was happening, I okayed it, and got the credit card. So no big whoop on my end.

Trudy, any specific type of rawmilk cheese? Like a soft cheese or a harder cheese?My shop's raw milk cheeses are medium to hard - I don't think I saw any soft ones.

I'm pretty sure I have seen raw milk brie at either Trader Joe's or Whole Paycheck, and all I need is a good excuse to buy them...

I just sent emails to ltc's school library about volunteering there, an email to the library bookstore to see about resuming my volunteer work there, and an email about signing ltc up for swim lessons at her old school so she can continue to be comfortable with the water. So, a somewhat productive morning. I have to do some errands later today, but TCG is coming home for lunch so I'll do them after that.

Fistbump of solidarity in the face of blergh, Tep. I realized after I posted that probably I used up all my Behave Like a Human energy yesterday at the in person Sales Meeting with waaaaaay more people than I am used to seeing at one time yesterday. I even said to a co-worker that I'd need to come home and hide under the bed afterwards, which I pretty much did, but I need more recovery time, apparently. All masked and socially distanced and everyone was required to be vaccinated to attend, I do not feel worried about contagion, just that was a lot of people
