Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Our wings are not tired.

Late to the computer screen this morning, but in time to send happiest birthday wishes to Meara! I hope this is a year filled with joyous surprises.

Happy birthday, meara!

Yesterday I gave up on finding the motivation to assemble and charge my weed trimmer, and instead grabbed some gardening gloves to spent a while pulling crab grass and weeds out of my front shrubbery bed by hand. In addition to day job, rug cleaning, and sweeping floors it made for a productive day.

I also heard from my mom that she started playing around with the beginner's watercolor kit that I got her for Christmas. I had to point out to her that she shouldn't expect results better than a kindergartener's at first because they have the same amount of experience at painting. But it sounds like it's going to be fun for her now that she's overcome inertia and started dabbling.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Happy birthday, meara!

What a complete clusterfuck. Pix, darling, preserving life includes your own. Lying in this instance is not evil.

I am utterly unsurprised that Utah is on the list. Jim is headed there for a conference in November and his luggage will include extra masks and a couple of the flu/COVID combo tests.
