Our wings are not tired.
{{lisah}} I'm sorry. I hope you are feeling well enough to read or enjoy streaming entertainment. It sucks to being so sick you don't have the energy to read.
Seriously, Teppy's uterus! Give it up already!

It's the only part of me that's an overachiever. Sheesh.

Good to see you, Shir, I have been thinking about you. These freaking governments making terrible terrible decisions endangering basically everyone, I am so tired of it. Glad you are ok!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Thank you, all. I miss you all too and wishing for such a better, calmer, saner world for us all.
I also talked with Nilly earlier, she and her family are OK as well.

Always Anti-fascist!
Sometimes I borrow David Milch's cuss words for my government, since he's no longer here to require them personally.(But, yes, our sick relations with your government are worth a thought or two, Shir) It would take a massive can of peaches to bring civilization back now.(That's a Deadwood, thing)

(First wave is over. I'm OK. Nilly's most probably OK too, I didn't hear anything about missiles hitting her area).

Good. Argh. I know you won't be able to reassure us as often as I we will want you to, I certainly appreciate it this time!
In lighter news - I picked up a "fresh berry salad" on my way into work to have for lunch and when I went to eat found it had neither dressing nor berries. Still an ok salad but not very satisfying. The berries were really the whole point of it.
