Folks in movie theaters and on spring break wut
I’ve cleared my curing period and I celebrated by eating a box of sushi outside. Clearly I’m confused.
A movie theater!?
I would put money on most of these folks on the news talking about they back even got the vaccine.
And I lied. I forgot I picked up lamps at HomeGoods.
They’re great lamps though. That was an okay risk.

This just isn’t a good season for creating work for people. I am kinda amazed at the amount of just...junk people are generating after a year under extreme collective strain.
Even the nice extraneous stuff is just too much right now. We kinda need a moratorium on all personal mailings, gift exchanges, check-ins, round robins, etc.
And I don’t even know what to say to people soliciting things like class visits and subbing and what-not right now. The stuff we have to do to keep our jobs is one thing but nothing more.

Wow wow did you ever consider that I have no choice but to have the duck art that I inherited from my grandma WHO DIED A DEATH
You should be GRATEFUL you even have a world with ducks. We do not have ducks anymore. Wow.
Here’s the thing, did you ever consider just walking over and TALKING to the ducks like they MATTER?? That’s how I met my duck husband and my biracial duck babies deserve better than you.

Because nothing is perfect, my older neighbors start banging in the side yard by my bedroom at 8:30 in the morning because old people hate sleep, hate brunch, and hate me.
I deliberately chose a street without families because bless y’all but I don’t need those shenanigans. I did not, however, think through the elderly’s penchant for living all of life before 9 am.
Guess I will leave a passive aggressive comment on Facebook, if I understand suburban warfare correctly.

I did the math recently on my very pricey move this year. By the time I bought everything the movers broke and damaged I could have broken even by donating all my goods and starting fresh in the new house. It is the worst.
They broke or very visibly damaged my:

Bed frame
Headboard
Footboard
Chest of drawers
Bookcases
Grill
Sideboard
Lamps
Dishes
Baseboards (moving it in)
And the one thing with a note that said, “if you break this I kill your car”? My coffee maker.

Broke it.

I have a few vaccine side effects. I would characterize two of them as level two and one as level one. I mostly went about business today but I am a woman. I can see how this might fell men. 😉
It actually feels like a moderate amount of PMS discomfort but nowhere near severe cramps or contractions. Fever, chills, nausea.
I have a horrible attitude though. Skipped working out. Not interested in food AT ALL and going back to bed as soon as the #?!% sun stops shining.
