just had a spaniel nearly teleport through my head on the way to a squirrel so i’m awake now

am at older sister’s in maryland doing a late christmas. My COVID test results never came back– the rapid test they did Monday, I got right away, but I have never received the PCR test results and they now are so old they would be irrelevant.

But, I did not need them for this trip, I was only trying to get some basic information. I’m just thinking of all the people who were in line with me though, and how many of them did need the results– one was a man clearly trying to get home to canada.

and it’s not just my test site; Dude’s test has not come back either, from Tuesday.

So, safe to say, if you need those results to travel, no you can’t. Stay home.

Yesterday we went to a Tandy Leather store half an hour away, which was fun. And then we spent the afternoon setting up one of those carport things– and farm BIL took charge, because its method of construction is quite similar to the hightunnel greenhouses he’s been constructing at the farm. so he did it Right, and built a jig out of scrap lumber to make sure all the ribs of it went together symmetrically, and we all stood around and helped brace things and passed brackets to each other and such. In the midst of this my dude was sent to fetch something from the workshop, missed his footing, and slid with a series of brutal thumps down the slick wooden steps between that part of the yard and the workshop. He limped around for a bit but insisted he was fine. Today he’s a little sore but not as bad as we’d worried.

We tried to stay up until midnight but at 11:29 we were like “no way” and just counted down to 11:30 and wished one another happy new year and went the fuck to bed. We were all so tired. We figured the low effort was probably just about what 2021 deserved, and we’d save our strength for 2022.

So anyway. Hope y’all saved some strength for 2022. To a better one ahead. (Your picture was not posted)
