I’ve only ever lived in one state, a blue one (Massachusetts) so I can’t really give you a comparison but I get the feeling it just depends on what’s important to you. My sister had to move back home from Florida because there’s nothing quite like MassHealth elsewhere in America and she needed the healthcaare. But…

Personally, I believe if you CAN live by the beach, you should.

Congrats! My second shot of Pfizer is on Wednesday and I’m so excited. My best friend got Moderna last week and we made plans to finally see each other two weeks after her second shot. We are gonna get sushi together.

I hope you avoid it!

Well that’s encouraging!  I’ve got 10 days until my second shot so I will find out soon.

Yeah the mild side effects are definitely worth it for the protection. I hope all goes well for you!

Good luck! Dating SHOULD be fun. I hope you have a great time.

I also need the mask part of my life to be over. While I logically know I can get oxygen just fine through them, they trigger my anxiety.  I can handle being in them for short periods of time but after awhile I start to feel panicked.

I’m glad you’re getting your vaccine! Good luck!

That is a great tip. Thanks. I was thinking marble would be fun to make.

I will be getting myself some of that for sure.

Omg that brownie picture is straight food porn. They look incredible. I like my brownies like that also. I make them dense and small. Also chocolate extract?? Why didn’t I know that was a thing!

Don’t worry too much based on me. I apparently just have a very dramatic immune system. Pretty much all medication makes me sleepy (even advil can do it) and I get a welt on my arm after the flu shot.

I got my first shot on Wednesday. I was exhausted and nauseous all day Thursday so not looking forward to the day after shot two but still better than getting COVID.

Please do. My cat has a fluffy belly too and I love when she lets me pet it.

This is weird and specific but I hate the word “threepeat”.  They say it a lot during sporting events (particularly the Olympics) and I just hate it. So much.

lol. I also don’t buy thin mints for this reason.  Or nutella. I just can’t be trusted.

That is a beautiful tree. I’ve never heard of a tulip tree.  The color is so pretty.

Darryl is such a fluffy handsome man. I so badly want to pet that belly.

That’s awesome! Congrats.
