'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.

That is delightful to read, David.

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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Yay negative tests!
Yay new school friends.
I had crazy dreams last night
me too. mine were not at all about wanting mutual attraction. A mobile home with drug using, drug dealing family that vacated the place overdue on rent...I was there to watch a child or something, was caught unawares with them vacating and got caught up in a mess of cops, a bunch of abandoned pets, other drug dealers wanting money, and super super weirdly injured celebrities which I am not sure how that got tied in, but we definitely had people in gowns one of whom was shot and 911 was called.

Aw, good going Matilda!
I heartily approve of your detour into WWII era 4-f standards, JZ!
I should be making use of a free Sunday to catch up on all kinds of housecleaning, but I would not advise anyone to bet their money on that happening.

I had a dream that only one of the Queer Eye guys was real, and the others were just in that one guy's imagination.

Which one was real, Dana??
