I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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.

I napped while ltc and TCG played outside. I haven't slept much lately, and I really needed it.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I've been reading a lesbian steampunk novella. I cannot think of a single thing likely to be on Twitter or FB that would make me happier.

Tonight a couple of friends are coming over for pi day pie, board games, and wine.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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

You don't think his urge to whine and complain would overrule any political thought? I guess they could take his phone again.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I finally got around to filing our taxes. Wheeeeee.

I am preparing to pay bills but I may wait until tomorrow to do that and just watch some anime instead.

Admitting he's positive would make him look bad, and he's congenitally incapable of doing that. So he'll lie while coughing virus all over the WH staff and any reporters nearby.

... in fact, media should reconsider attending press conferences, I have no confidence that those gatherings would be safe.

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, they announced he tested negative. Aren't you so relieved?

I have been deemed essential

I've always thought so. How is Mac doing? Did your parents move?

mac still does not communicate much, but seems to be ok. I 'm pretty sure he is not going to class at all, but that is his choice he has to figure out.

My parents are in their new place for a few weeks now and they are now on lockdown on the site. they can leave on their own, but no group outings, no eating in the common areas, and no unessential visitors, all visitors have their temo taken and be asked questions.

Thrive to spite them

Msbelle I hope they continue to be ok.

I was filling my cart for Walmart pick up and then worried I was being a food hoarder. But a lot was out of stock and the earliest pick up is Monday. So I stopped that I may go out I don't know.

I am going to try and my hair cut. Talked to Mom and she asked me not to come see her tomorrow. I may Skype with her instead. This is hard.

Work was pretty steady. Not Saturday busy but steady. I did like a weekday worth of sles. Or 2 of the part time guys did the sales and gave them to me while I worked on one of my stock rooms. I didn't get a smucb done as I wanted but I got all the boxes emptied and on the shelves. I probably moved around a couple hundred shoe boxes if you count the ones I had toove twice. My arms and shoulders are going to be sore.

Home was peaceful ish when I got here. There was some self medicating going on and that has helped. I talked to Matthew's mom about asking her Dr for anti anxieteds. Her biggest issue right now is boredom and no way to taker her mind off things. She doesn't read well and has a short attention span so even watching movies is hard.

She did buy a coloring book and is going to try that . I may get some connect the dots coloring books as well. She doesn't like puzzles of any kind but she seemed open to that.

I know solving her issues isn't my responsibility but it will make my life happier.

Oh and in the morning meeting the store manager said yesterday we were down $30,000 in sales. It was the worst day for this week. I can't remember what the sales goal was but I think around $55,000
