Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

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

Timelies all!

Should have known it wouldn’t be that easyto get a new id badge for work. Turns out that when your badge is stolen you have to report it to your AO, and then they will sponsor you to get another one. Then you need to make appointments to get fingerprinted and issued a new badge. However, one needs two forms of id, from a very specific list. I have now requested a new copy of my social security card and am in the process of getting a copy of my birth certificate. Who knows how long that will take…

I need some health~ma/go to the doctor! vibes sent M's way. He thought he had an ingrown hair, it's not but he has made a wound there and is adamant that he doesn't need to see a doctor and it will be fine. He thinks I'm over reacting to it (and to the mole I think is suspicious on his back). I've promised I won't say anything more about either today but...just health~ma that the wound will heal or he will stop being stubborn and have it looked at.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I got my annual Covid shot yesterday. For the first time ever I am having a reaction. Slight, but still disconcerting. An incipient headache, a slight fever (99.0F), slight body aches, aches in my hands and fingers, soreness at the injection site, and a little light-headedness.

Unexpected. Oh, well.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

We had a COVID shot clinic at work on the 30th. Everyone's shoulders were sore on Halloween. Mine still is a smidge

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

My household finally got down to Kaiser again after the line was too long a few weeks ago. I got Novavax for the first time. Everybody seems to be doing ok, i.e. no more tired than usual. And we all got flu shots, as well.

All in all, an unreasonable amount of adulting for a Saturday morning.

I hope M’s ok, askye.

I totally forgot when I went to bed last night that it was time change night! I was very confused when I woke up early and looked at the clock vs my watch (which changed automatically)

There is one poll showing Iowa flipping blue. Nad apparently the woman who does the poll, Ann Selzer is really accurate.
