Been a long time, been a long time...

In fact, it took me a long time to actually start getting emails from the Golden Dolphins. It didn't help that the current Order principal had a parent who had just undergone open heart surgery (and believe me, I know what it's like to be the adult child of such a patient). Finally I whitelisted the email ( Read more... )

Happy Earth Day Number 51! Honestly, last year's 50th anniversary Earth Day commemoration was shortchanged because the covid-19 pandemic was still so new. Glad to see a bit more awareness of the day this year.

My apologies for not updating for a while. I've made more posts and comments on Facebook lately.

My goodness, once again we have an Executive Branch with people who know what they are doing. Of course, the previous crew left SUCH a mess.

I'm getting really eager to get a covid-19 vaccine, even though I am not yet eligible for one. I've managed to avoid the coronavirus for THIS long and don't want to catch it at the tail end of the pandemic. ( Read more... )

Yesterday I felt tired and restless. And unfocused. I have focus issues anyway, but it was really bad yesterday. I dozed off in my "office" chair. I wanted to poke around with the couple of computer games that I play instead of actually doing, y'know, work.

This feeling lasted well into the night, until I checked Facebook just before 11 p.m. ( Read more... )

Now it's the summertime events' turn to go away ( Read more... )
