No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Congratulations, Shir!

Yay Shir!!

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

and I vote for shiny ponies, a surprise bag of money, more humane politics and politicians, and a beverage of choice

You've got my vote!

I'm just poking my nose in here to say I haven't done my greeting cards yet, but I fully intend to still, so don't give up on me! I bought stamps last week fully expecting to get them out this past weekend, but my still-not-quite-back-to-normal GI system had other ideas. But I will yet prevail!

Our wings are not tired

Last year, and honestly the year before that have been a lot. I'm not sure how to even put it into words.

What is even happening?

Shiri, congratulations!

Plei, I am sorry about the house situation. It's so nice to see you here, though.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Voting for ponies! And congratulations on submitting your thesis, Shir!

Congrats, Shir!

Indeed. May 2022 be far more boring and uneventful. A whole lot less stressful would rock too.

A heartfelt thank you to all who have sent cards, including one received today! I didn't do any holiday decorating this year, for reasons, and the cards lifted our spirits so much. To those who didn't get around to it yet, know it is no less joy, and adds an extra element of surprise to receive cards in any month. Love you all.
