Gacked from spiffikins:

1. Did you catch COVID-19? If yes, when, and was it bad?
To the best of my knowledge, I did not have it. I know I’ve been really careful, but still - I also was fully aware that masks and handwashing and 6’ distances aren’t 100% foolproof.

I did two Paint Nites in January that I never posted about, plus a third one last weekend. I'm doing another one this coming weekend, but before this gets even more ridiculously photo-heavy, let me at least do these first three ( Read more... )

The big news here is: I got my first vaccination on Thursday! I'm the first one in our household to get it. The state list doesn't open to teachers until this coming week, but two of the local pharmacy chains began including teachers a bit earlier. It took me four days of repeatedly searching the options and then, on Wed afternoon, I got ( Read more... )

For those of you who are on LJ, I apologize for the long silence, but I was locked out of my account and support was taking their time finding a workable solution. I finally was able to get back in and change my password a week ago, so here I am again. Feel free to wander over to my DW account (same username) if you want to see the handful of ( Read more... )

It is RIDICULOUS how long it's taken me to post about these two Paint Nites. I mean, initially I was busy wrapping up my semester, but even then, I'd sit down to crop and resize the pics, then get distracted by something else, or remember some other obligation. But, anyway, here we go ( Read more... )

Argh. I actually failed to do a proper update for ALL of November. Several times I would think, "I need to post to LJ/DW, absolutely, positively today!" And then the day would slip away from me ( Read more... )

Some of you may have seen this on FB, but I just had to repost it here because it's THAT good. Presenting: American politics as an Australian horse race. If you have even the vaguest idea of the ridiculousness that has been our life here lately, it is WELL worth 4 minutes of your time.

Pro Tip: Do not be drinking anything while viewing.

I haven't had time to do a Paint Nite in weeks, and I'm not entirely sure I could afford the time yesterday either, but I decided I really needed the distraction and the mental break. They're starting to include some holiday-themed art in with the fall-themed (and more general) art, and I thought this one was really pretty:
