Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Good start for Dylan!

Steph, I hope things go as smoothly as possible for Tim, and for you as you help him through.

And yay erikaj’s mom’s news!

I’m taking a break from job hunting to join my family in our annual Labor Day gathering in Lexington, MI. It’ll be nice to see everyone, and the lake. Several of the jobs I’ve applied for are union jobs (yay, Michigan!), so maybe I’ll be able to celebrate even harder next year.

Punishingly Intricate

Everything crossed for you, Calli!

The status is NOT quo.

Crossing fingers, Calli!

Hey, all, CVS has the new COVID vaccines and is accepting on-line appointments. Jim and I are booked for the 7th.

So I said I didn’t have risk of severe illness due to Covid and was told I’m not eligible for the new vaccine. WTF? Do I lie and say I am? I’m a teacher, and Covid is everywhere right now.

ETA: I just changed that second answer to yes, and now I have an appointment Sept. 6. There’s no shortage, so I assume this is just RFK Jr. nonsense.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can't get it at CVS because MA has a law (and so do 15 other states) that pharmacists can't give vaccines that aren't recommended by the CDC. So I made an appointment to get it from a nurse at my doctors' office.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It is 100% RFK2 nonsense and has led to a spate of resignations at the CDC. The at risk category is expensive, and they don't, as it were, check.

All kinds of medical-ma to everyone. This is a very time.
