Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

The infection in my left ear has been joined by my right ear, in some kind of sympathy or copycat move. It is not very cool at all. I feel like I'm underwater.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh no, Steph. That super sucks.

I have antibiotics, so they just need to do their job. Still, I don't care for this shit at all.

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

Hey, batter batter!

A's won tonight! And they won a series against the (first place at the time) Orioles. And split with the Yankees. And aside from their first disastrous week, they've played above .500. And that's with their three best hitters from last year being useless.

Also, our closer throws 103 mph and nobody can hit it.

This is the last season the A's will be in Oakland and I'm just trying to soak it up.

Matilda went over to her friend Iris's house and when Janet (Iris's mom) drove Matilda home she brought Cupid and Sparky over and I got to see dogs. Cupid blew right by me running up the steps to go find free snacks on the kitchen floor. Sparky was dumb, chunky and confused.

Anyway: dogs!

Yay dogs.

Y’all am I losing my mind?? I keep losing things. First it was my little travel bag I kept plugs and chargers in. Not a huge deal but a little annoying. Several of the chargers had been taken out of it, so the only one I really need to replace is the Apple Watch charger. Then I lost my makeup bag. Ok, I had it for the dance weekend, and took it to the hotel, maybe I left it there and it never showed up at lost and found. Bummer. Then I realized that I couldn’t find two of the hair things my sister gave me for Christmas. Maybe I put them away somewhere that is not the first five places I looked? Maybe. But then tonight I wanted to wear a sweater I own…and it is nowhere to be found. Nowhere! What did I do with that sweater?? Why can I not find things??

I hope you get past the COVID quickly, Shir.

Looking forward to smonster’s visit next week!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

meara, is your whole travel bag sitting somewhere still full?

No fever continues to be no fever. Other than congestion (which is partially related to seasonal allergies - I get to relive spring here), I'm doing OK. In a few hours I'll complete the 24 hours without fever, and take it easy and mask everywhere in the next week. I understood that it might be a while until I'll test negative - depends on the varient I got and the test in itself - but I will continue to mask for the time being and especially around those in high risk even if I'm negative.

Jesse I have definitely gone through all the bags I have repeatedly, looking for the travel bag and the makeup!
