"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Zen! Much love.

Cat is doing better but is still on feeding tube (not such great news since we really, really, really want to give him a bath. He stinks, and we're doing laundry and disinfecting everything regardless of the coronavirus. Other!cat is hissing on sick!cat because of the smell, both want to sleep with me in my bed (my roommate, for what's left of her sanity, doesn't allow him to sleep on her bed), so between the hissing and keeping him from scratching the feeding tube I do no get much sleep).

And... more of democracy got cancelled yesterday in Israel (mass surveillance on people to know who was where and when). And you can't protest anything right now with the order not to assemble more than 10 people with a distance of 2 meters from one another.

And I see how hard this whole thing is on friends with mental illness and friends who are health workers, and I can't really help. And that is what's hitting me.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I also got off the social media for a long time yesterday -- HBO is having a 'free' weekend, so I was able to stream all of The Outsider yesterday, which I do highly recommend, and then finally got around to watching Shazam which was a little camp-tastic -- on the other hand, the actor playing adult Shazam had real fun chemistry with the foster brother.

Anyway, didn't think about viruses or quarantines or anything for a couple hours. That was nice.

Our wings are not tired.

Zen, so good to read about your new co-workers and physical therapy improvement. You should be appreciated and pain free!

Msbelle, that sounds like reasonable plans at your parents new place.

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

Does she use technology at all? You can get lost in computer card games/Sudoku/Mahjong/etc for many hours a day.

I was laughed off for being irrational over expressing worries/slight disgust about double dipping of food and sharing of utensils with people I don't share fluids with.

Coronavirus and preferences aside, my immune system is not what it used to be pre illness few years back, so yeah, I don't think it's that irrational.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Are you kidding me? That's ridiculous. The laughing off part, not you!!

I guess I have no excuse for not going to church now, since it's going to be livestreaming on Facebook....

...except he has his phone vertical, so maybe I'll just listen!

Oh thank goodness other people commented, and he fixed it.

Welcome to my liveblog of church this morning, apparently??

I just spent a half hour putting together my Whole Foods delivery order to find out delivery is suspended. Sigh.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just checked to make sure my parents church was cancelled. They would've been ushering.

Save a seat for me at the irrational table. If I'm not cool with sharing a bed (or wasn't when I had nightmares as a kid), I'm not cool with sharing a spoon.
