Here's a whole post about nothing at all

Apr 10, 2021 17:18

Another month went by, with me considering posting and having absolutely nothing to post about. Everything is still closed, so between getting up in the morning and going to bed at night, there is, for those who live alone with very little work, books, Netflix, and walking. Or making up household tasks one can then check of a to-do list ( Read more... )

Glad to know you are well and work is beginning to pick up. I've received both my Pfizer Covid-19 vaccinations, and I should be fully protected unless new variants make it to North America. But if that happens I understand that Pfizer and Moderna are already working on boosters. I don't think this Covid-19 virus will ever go away completely -I believe it will be like the influenza viruses, and we will need annual vaccinations based on the variants that have newly mutated.

I've tried to find the books you recommended, but Book 5 is only available in the kindle edition. And I don't care for reading that way. I prefer having a book I can hold in my grabby little hands. But I'll keep looking. Perhaps after the publication date it well be available in print.

*Hugs*

The fifth book was a kindle pre-order thing, indeed, but perhaps it'll be printed later. But I hope you'll enjoy the others.

Good to hear you've had the vaccin, and the Pfizer, too.

I have just read your beautiful story "Subtlety Personified" and It was absolutely stellar. I hope that you are taking dear old Sluggy's advice and keeping yourself comfortable and enjoying the finer things. (Dinner with friends and a blood orange cake - I think he would approve!) Thanks for writing that, I really loved it. I only cried a little. ❤️

I saw your comment, such a lovely surprise! The dinner was lovely, and Sluggy would fit right in. I do have a soft spot for him.

I do too - Another thing to thank Hoggywarty for - a new appreciation for a lot of characters I overlooked when I first got into fandome. :D

I am so happy that there is a bit of cheer in your life!

No idea what is up with cross-posting. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it sort-of works.

Kind of you to deal with the chair. Goodness knows we need to help each other out when we can.

I think the cross posting is solved, PaulaMcG asked did I change my LJ password in recent months. And yes, I did, and now I've entered it in the cross post details, and things should be well again.

I'm really blessed with my friends, virtual and RL - they are what makes life still worth living.

Your life is a social whirl compared to mine! Glad you're having a bit of fun amidst all this pandemic business--and that you're getting a bit of business amidst all this pandemic business.

And thanks for the recs--will check them out!

Well, there is absolutely nothing else to do - theatres, cinemas, museums, restaurants, shops, everything is closed.

If it weren't for good friends inviting me and coming when I invite them, I'd be completely isolated. So I make sure there are social engagements in my diary.

How's life at Squib Manor?

Life is very dull chez Squib. Mr. Squib and I got our vaccines, so we're just waiting for the squiblets to get theirs so we can leave the bloody house!

So glad to hear that there are at least stories and some friendships between your getting up and going to bed! <3 As for cross posting to LJ, I kept wondering why it didn't work for me any more, and then - as far as I remember - I checked the LJ password I had saved somewhere on DW, and changed it to the current one, and the cross posting started to work.

That password idea is a stroke of genius - that's it! I had to change my password some time last year. I've entered the new password on DW, and I'm sure that will do the trick. Thank you so much!

I'm so glad if fixing the password has made it work! This must be the first time ever I've managed to help with something like this. :)

You did it! You did it! You solved the 'not cross posting' mystery. I just put up a new post, and it works!

You're great, and thank you!
