I keep intending to do a bunch of backposting on the weekends, but then I get done with all the other stuff and I'm just tired ( Read more... )

So a few weeks ago, I had a prescription refill coming from the mail-order pharmacy that went astray. The package was sent via USPS with tracking, so when I realized after several days that it still hadn't shown up, I was able to check the tracking and see that its status somehow changed to "forwarded" before it got lost in the system ( Read more... )

Now that we are both fully-vaxxed, we have started Doing Things! With people! Outside the house! It's amazing!

Three weekends ago, the first weekend we were both two weeks post-vaccine, we went to the Butterfly Pavillion with

In the biweekly online D&D game Neal is running, our party is 80% tiefling (half-devils). Not for any role-playing reason or anything, it's just during character creation, there were a couple different people thinking about it based on stats and abilities, and somebody said "hey, wouldn't it be fun to have an all-tiefling party?" and now our ( Read more... )

As of today, I am officially fully immunized against SARS-CoV-2.

I'm still working from home (and will be for a while yet), and I'm still wearing a mask in public (because we don't yet know whether being immunized prevents you from being an asymptomatic carrier), but last night I went grocery shopping and just... didn't care about how many other ( Read more... )

Just discovered that my Dreamwidth posts haven't been crossposting to LJ since shortly after the pandemic started because I forgot to update my password.

On Tuesday two weeks ago, I gave the talk that I was scheduled to give a year ago before the conference I was giving it at was cancelled. It's still weird giving talks with absolutely zero feedback from the audience, but I had several people tell me later on that they really enjoyed it, so I'm counting it as a success. Especially since it was a ( Read more... )

It was cloudy and snizzling most of the day Saturday, but the snow didn't really start until Saturday night, and then it kept going all day Sunday. It was also pretty blowy, so it's hard to get a precise measure of how much total snowfall we got, but I went out onto the front porch and stuck a tape-measure into the snow, and it read 14 inches.

I went in to the office for the first time in almost a year today.

I put in the request for permission to enter the building a couple weeks ago because I wanted to get some notes for a talk that I'm going to give in April. Currently, they have to keep the building at less than 10% capacity, so you have to sign up in advance so they can coordinate ( Read more... )
