Hello. Still alive, still tired, still seething at the government.

Also, it's spring here!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Unlike Christ, our hot cross buns failed to rise. This is deeply funny to me for some reason, but it's been a long, long, long Holy Week.

(But now I have a FULL WEEK before I go to church again.)

Our wings are not tired.

Ah, Monday Monday. On my 2nd cup of coffee. We'll see what the day brings.

Today is Amy's birthday. I feel like I have seen her pop in here sometime recently, but that could be my imagination. Sending warm birthday wishes her way.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy Amy day!

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

Home again after cataract surgery 1 of 2.

All went well, I think. Time will tell.

The experience was less scary and/or traumatic than the dentist.

Thank you, Versed!

Yay! I wasn't fond of the process, but being able to see is super awesome.

Yay cataract surgery! I have not had the cataract removed part but did have the “new lens with magic vision” part, and it felt much better after a couple days and has been miraculous ever since. When is #2 scheduled?

Shir, thought of you lots at the seder I went to Saturday. (Wherein I was shocked my friend’s step kids did not kill him—he started many years ago using a Haggadah that is for kids, when they were new to this and younger, but they’re now 14 and 14 and 16, and he’s still using that one and I would’ve been so much less polite than they were, at that age, being talked to like I was about 8 years old…)

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

Second cataract surgery is scheduled for 21 April.

My eyes are still dilated, will be most of the day. I'm very glad I use dark mode for most of my browsers and devices.

Swouncing

Poking my head once more in between ongoing conversations I selfishly ignore, in order to reassure y'all that we're still as OK as possible under the circumstances.

Very strange holiday (Pessakh), and it may get even more strange as we go along, but we are indeed as well as possible under this strangeness, and we're very thankful for that.

Take care, y'all.

(I feel bad for poking my head and posting and running and ignoring everybody, meMeME as possible, but I keep thinking that with all the scary news from around here, it's better than just not letting anybody know anything. Sorry if I'm mistaken.)
