You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Introvert powers, activate!

On the one hand, my dad and his ladylove are STAYING THE FUCK HOME. Good job, dad!
On the other hand, he was working on an antenna cable for one of his ham radio towers in the back yard; it snagged on something, he pulled it really hard, and the end WHIPPED INTO HIS FACE.
"It's fine!" he said. "I was wearing glasses! The scrape next to my eye just needed a bandaid."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Dads, man.
I'm so glad we have us!

Punishingly Intricate
I was fine until my mom told me they don't have a thermometer and I can't find one online to ship to them and so she's just going to "run out to Walgreen's tomorrow to get one." Argh!!!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I'm grateful they are taking this seriously but they are also used to being able to go out and go for walks pretty much every day
Whoa, they aren't even supposed to go outside for a walk? Yikes. We are basically sheltering in place here too, but we are for damn sure getting outside every chance we get.
...And in the time between writing the above and hitting Post, the sink fell out of our kitchen counter! It is currently being held up by cookbooks and several cans of beans and soup I had stockpiled, while we wait to hear from the insurance claims adjuster, likely tomorrow. And then someone has to come into our house to fix it, which I'm not thrilled about...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap, Kate!

Also, my parents have been traveling in Arizona and California (visiting my brother in L.A.), and they were supposed to stay through Sunday (they've been gone almost two weeks already), but FINALLY decided to change their tickets and go home tomorrow. I'm relieved but also worried that it's too late. They are both in their 70s, and both have some health issues, especially my mom. Neither of them has breathing issues or is immunocompromised, but still -- they should have gone home a week ago!
