Hi there, Gods Are Bored fans! Did you miss me? I missed y'all, but I don't want to bore you with more missives about quarantine. I've kind of waited for some little bits to accumulate before tucking them all into a post. So here goes:
1. No visits from bored deities for awhile. However, I just brewed an ugly-looking concoction using magnolia petals, and it might bring a few Ancient Ones out of the woodwork if I have the nerve to try it. Stay tuned.
2. Long-timers here will remember how I anonymously supply plastic dinosaurs to an otherwise boring dinosaur-related site in Haterfield. Well, I haven't done it for a whole year. I figured no one should be touching shared toy dinosaurs. Last week I went to the site for the first time since February 2020. This is what I found.
EXHIBIT A, BELIEVE IN MAGIC
Not one of those dinosaurs came from me! Not one! In fact, I didn't even leave any new ones.
3. My amaryllis, Plantzilla, bloomed magnificently, producing 8 flowers. Take that, Philadelphia Flower Show!
4. Monday I go back to work on site at the Vo-Tech. Some students will be returning to my classroom on April 22. If the case counts aren't lower in New Jersey by that time, it won't be pretty. Oh, and the state of New Jersey has decreed that schools will not be allowed to use room fans for the rest of the year. This decision was made without any state official visiting my classroom to discern that it becomes an Easy-Bake Oven from May 15 on.
5. I got my second shot, and wowsa. Had a tough 24 hours. But now I'm done with that.
6. Gamma the cat trended briefly on Facebook when I posted a photo of him to a page called Disapproving Cats.
7. There are now 7 children and 4 adults living across the street from me. The oldest child is 10 at most. Parents seem to think it's no longer important to teach kids to look both ways when they try to cross the street. Stay tuned.
Yours in the Haterfield trenches,
Anne

WTF across the street? some freaky cult or something?
my second shot - I slept most of the following day and my left arm was stiff for 48 hours. all is well now.
Four adults and seven kids living across the street? Is it a commune?
Glad you're fully vaccinated now!
I'm so happy to hear about the dinosaurs!!!! That's incredibly awesome.
Congrats on full vaccination!
That's a crowd across the street, and I have noticed that children no longer seem to know that it's not wise to run into the street.
Love,
Janie
the gg's wanted to know how their fairy garden was doing at their new place..
I might start taking dinosaurs to our park.. great idea.
