Still alive, and news
Feb. 20th, 2021 07:54 pmGhost and I had a couple of major relationship talks recently, and are on track for fixing some slowly creeping distance in our relationship. Wish us luck ,and feel free to forward lists of relationship questions, since I am now collecting those, apparently.
I'm not a big one for laughing when terrible people die, but I do often breathe a sigh of relief when people like Rush Limbaugh go away from ever being able to imply on national radio that I am morally bankrupt for advocating for contraceptives, or weaponizing people against gay people, women, college students, trans kids, BIPOC people, and anyone not on the axes of privilege in this country. He fomented a lot of the modern white supremacist discourse and talking points, so while I won't piss on his grave, I also won't be snitching on anyone who does, either. He was terrible for the people of my country and I am relieved that he has gone.
I survived the deep freeze, and had some friends over (while masked up) to warm up and recharge devices. Everyone close to me socially has survived mostly unscathed, for which I am unspeakably grateful. I will be calling my Texas representatives this week to very gently verbally kung fu them in the head about the power grid and hardening our essential resources against extreme weather events. Feel free to talk to your own representatives about forcing Texas to comply with national regulations. Please.
I am about a third of the way through making a scarf for Mom, to go with the sweater I made her. Then I might make a wedding shawl for my little sister, who is getting married this year. I need to look into ordering some turquoise lace weight yarn. I should do a post with pictures of recent projects again soon, but I don't remember the password to whatever image hosting site I was using, and I'm not even 100% sure I remember which image hosting site it was, so ... *sigh*
I still have not been contacted about getting the vaccine, and the places people keep directing me to keep not being available once I check. I am not surprised by this state of affairs in Texas, but I am sad about it. I guess I will keep on trying to find someplace that is doing the vaccines for Dallas county.
