I'm trying to figure out which of my spring break plans/errands I can still do. I'd had a whole stack of genealogy research stuff that required going to a Family History Center for their materials, and those are all closed (and I wouldn't go, anyway.) I desperately need new glasses, and I was going to make an appointment with an eye doctor, but even with the way they sanitize the equipment, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with putting my face on things that other people are putting their faces on. My furnace has been making some clanging sounds -- do I have someone come in to fix it?
Slap my hand now!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
ISTG, the only thing I want from the next few days is the news that Trump tested positive for the virus. I hear Lindsey Graham was exposed and is self-quarantining, so if I get a second wish...

I don't think they'd tell us if he tests positive.

They won't.
OTOH, if a vaccine is being developed, he'll probably insist on being a test monkey for it. I see no down-side there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Everyone: May I recommend getting off the internet completely for at least several hours? I have done just that this afternoon, and it has made a WORLD of difference in my mental state.

Our wings are not tired.
I've been catching up with fictional television and that is renewing. Also doing some work, which not so much fun.

I got my hair cut and have watched the whole glassblowing competition show on Netflix. Not productive, but who cares? Not this guy!

I've been cleaning and watching Great Pottery Throw Down.
I just checked work email and we've moved to essential employees only. I have been deemed essential (which I kind of find hilarious as I cannot do much).

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I passed out cold for a couple of hours thanks to migraine meds, then I watched some episodes of The Magicians, and now I'm waiting for Tim to bring me dinner. I'm only interested in the internet insofar as it can give me TV shows and let me talk to my friends. Everything else can fuck off right now (largely because my head still hurts SOOOO MUCH). (And I cannot believe how loopy on meds I am right now. I took the normal amount; this isn't an "Oh shit, did I overdose?" issue. I am just UNBELIEVABLY loopy. Like, I would be willing to sing in front of other people. That takes a high level of intoxication on my part.) t [edit] I know more words to "Umbrella" than I thought I did. Maybe it's time to start singing.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I napped while ltc and TCG played outside. I haven't slept much lately, and I really needed it.
