I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Oh, Cash. I am BOILING on your behalf. Jesus Christ.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Holy CRAP, Cash, I would be LIVID.

Hope you and Dad (and the viruses you're "shedding" - WTF?) are feeling much better soon.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Argh, Cashmere, that is quite angry-making.

Happy Birthday, Sophia and smonster!

Meanwhile, I seem to have caught a cold. I had a COVID test yesterday, and it was negative, so the congestion is from something else.

Our wings are not tired.

What a horrific situation, Cash!!! I don't even know where you go from here! I expect your dad knew he was at risk. Wishes for a quick recovery for you both. I'm not the best as smiting, but I have very bad feelings about your sister and bil. The level of disregard for your dad's health is beyond infuriating.

Oh god, Cash. I’m so sorry that sucks horrifically and will resonate for a long long time. Damn. I hope you don’t get too sick and that you managed to not give it to anyone, fingers crossed.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I’m feeling crappy and tired but the headache is finally gone. My sense of smell is gone.

Dad is doing okay. Sitting up and eating. He may get to go home by Saturday.

I’m quarantined away from everyone and the kids will get tested in two days.

I’m glad Dad is vaccinated.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Holy fucking shit, Cashmere. Rage is pretty much the only correct response. I got your alibi if you need it.

Thank goodness this happened *after* your dad was vaccinated and not before, Cashmere!

Happy birthday smonster!

Happy birthday Sophia!

Today in addition to getting pretty much a full day's work done, I also walked to the post office to mail out a doctor's invoice, and then went to donate blood at noon. I ended up waiting something like an hour and a half at the blood drive due to the student checking me in not scanning my ID and adding me to the cue, but a nurse spotted that lots of people were being called up ahead of me and got things sorted out. Rather than the questionable snacks on hand I just left in search of tacos.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

MotherFUCK, Cash. That's the most monumentally selfish, willfully ignorant thing your sister could possibly have done, and she is super fucking lucky she doesn't have to play the lifelong jolly-fun mindgame I'm stuck with, "I wonder if it was me who killed my dad?" I'm so, so incredibly relieved that you and your father are both vaccinated and have protection against the worst of it. But, how absolutely vile. That she did that, and that she never told you. I'm incandescent on your behalf.

Cash isn’t this the sister that also has a small child who was born very early? Does he have any lingering problems? Yikes.
