and Hec insisted I share it here because of Steve Rogers.
It's a valid reason!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Steve Rogers is always a valid reason.
I had a pretty lazy Sat and plan an even more lazy Sun. So far only coffee, but I think biscuits and white gravy are in my future.
The plan for the afternoon is cleaning the front porch and sitting out there knitting and listening to an audiobook, then once it cools a bit, mowing the overgrown lawn.

Wonderful relief, Pix!! Thank you for sharing the good news.

This.
Chilling, literally, and hanging out today. Have soup in the slow pot. Sun is out, but still only 57F outside, which is better than the 43F when I got up this morning. Leaves are turning, but still a month or so away from heading south as it is still really warm there and I am enjoying my solitude. I'm a month into Duolingo learning Spanish. Partly for brain exercise, partly because there is a lot of Spanish spoken in South Florida.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
That was truly fascinating, JZ! Thanks for sharing!
First week back from vacation was quite busy, alas. Also rides got cancelled due to illness, others got priority-moved onto the schedule (a resident funeral -- one of my favorite ladies, alas), my phone auto-pay didn't and that day my phone suddenly wouldn't connect, so I was out of contact when I really needed to communicate.
Saturday I somewhat collapsed with fibro, but managed to push myself to walk to the library and back, then did some adulty things like finding my health insurance card and laundry. Today I have to go grocery shopping, catch up on bills and so on!

Excellent negativity!
JZ and Matilda are slowly rousting themselves up to go to church. When they return I am tasked with trimming Matilda's bangs in advance of Picture Day this week, and also hanging out with new school friends Zane and Vanessa. Last night she was on a Facetime call with new school friend Carlin and they were laughing the whole time while they did homework together. Laughing like a drain, as Fay would say.
It was a source of some anxiety that Matilda was going to a school without her elementary or middle school friends, but she's just gone out and made new ones (while retaining most of the old ones). One Freshman girl, Chloe, said, "I don't know how to make friends," so Matilda said, "Then I guess you're sitting with us for lunch." Which is what Chloe does every day now.

She is 100% your child in that regard. That's awesome.

Yay vaccines!!
I had crazy dreams last night (one of which I was v annoyed to wake up in the middle of and not be able to get back to) but in several cases boiled down to “damnit I really want someone to be into me and me be into them” and this stupid pandemic is the WORST.
