On the way!

You really missed an opportunity to say "you haven't seen your own balls in a year?"


ETA: I don't know why this isn't a reply to your response.

With Hank’s girth, he’s gone decades without seeing his own balls.

How do you think your family is keeping isolated and safe when your wife is fucking that whore Penske?

On reddit they get pissed when I equate them with MAGA.

On parler they get pissed when I equate them with the Klan. Maybe if they would just not wear the robes.

Most of them seemed to be in Houston.

I didn't go because of not wanting to expose my parents, but every single communication I got from organizers emphasized mask wearing and social distancing.

I'm sure there were some people wearing them improperly or otherwise not wearing them, but most photos showed a lot of mask wearing.

I'm still going to my gym speakeasy after hours three or four days a week. The gym has been open for some time, but I'm not comfortable going when other people are there even though I've been fully vaccinated for a month and a half now. Every now and then some other renegade is there, but usually we're on different floors, so I'm fine with that.

I'm not going near a yoga studio, even though my husband teaches at one indoors with reduced capacity (he started up again when he was fully vaccinated about a month ago), so I'm doing online classes for the foreseeable future.

Here's a guideline: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EvfvlfCW...g&name=900x900
Running outside, I wear a gaiter which I pull up if anyone is around. Thankfully, I have figured out where and when to run where it's just me and the deer --
Except when I run on the streets of Manhattan where you are frequently within 6 feet.
Everyone runs with a mask in NYC. You get used to it.

My brother wears a gaiter when we visit, outside. Problem is, when it's cold, you can see his breath, meaning his droplets are getting through. I gotten use a better mask than that.

Luckily, he's signed up for his vaccine appointment, so a lot of this is going to stop mattering as much soon.

Meanwhile, "judicial system workers" - sometimes also referred to as "lawyers" too - are now eligible for a vaccine under the state's guidelines. I never go anywhere near a court and can entirely work from home, so I'm not out hunting down a pharmacy appointment and just signed up with the state and county for now. Tempting, though.

I get my 2d shot Saturday. I'd consider going back to a gym a month after, but still don't see the need.

This pandemic has made me realize what I do and do not miss.

Today, Patient Zero -- the guy who infected my entire floor exactly one year ago -- sent around an email about the importance of in-person depositions despite our recent policy and success in doing them virtually.

We are talking about him setting an ad-hoc rapid testing negative protocol with no masks and no distancing, while representing people terminally ill with cancer, also in the same room with him and at least one defense lawyer who have met that "protocol."

When I responded to all, basically saying "You're an idiot" someone in my office, who is really very nice, responded to me "I miss you".

What's really sad is that what went through my mind is "I don't miss any of you at all."

I'm hopeful that in the near future we will conclude that vaccinated people are unlikely to spread and people can start doing things indoors X number of days after getting fully vaccinated.

I'm hopeful that in the near future we will conclude that vaccinated people are unlikely to spread and unlikely to be infected so I can start doing the things I like to do and miss, but not the things I don't.

I don't see any reason whatsoever for my docs to have to travel for a deposition ever again, even if the travel is to the conference room at the end of the hall.

I am thankful that the conversation has been steered away from Hank's crank.
