So nice, Laura!
I believe it supposed to protect the bus driver and keep passengers away from them.
Oh, good one! I do worry about all the people who are still working public-facing jobs.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Oh, no JZ and David! So hard to watch your kids hurt: M got a stress fracture this trscknseasin, right as he was being scouted by unis for track. He was devastated. It's awful to watch them be so sad.

ION, as I predicted, my ex-BFF who I haven't talked to in 2 years, pandemic-panicked and texted me, trying to repair fences.
Bitch, I'm SCOTS. My dad, who you knew and loved for 20 years, died and no contact, but you get SCARED and now you need me? After the terrible, terrible things you said to me?
Naw, girl. I don't need your fuckin' DRAMA RN. Or ever again.
I'm so angry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
David, I don't know if Emmett even remembers me, it was so long ago that I saw him last. But please tell him I am so incredibly proud of him, if/when you get a chance.
Thanks, Karl.
Liv and Owen remain besties with their co-gaming, meme-ing, and cooking for each other.
So sweet! Love all the close sibs.

Oof. Exactly. We're old. We're used to having our hopes and dreams bashed about.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have an awful headaches this morning, courtesy of the lovely BITTLE of Riesling I finished last night.
Liquor stores in NY have been deemed essential so I may pop out later and grab a few BITTLEs myself.
Poor Matilda! Any bit of bad news on top of the shit sandwich that is day-to-day life now is just too much.
I decided to swallow my distrust of FB and signed A up for Messenger Kids, and she's been on the phone with her best friend more or less constantly for 2 days, and texting/sending stickers back and forth with everyone else we know. D and his friends have been having Netflix watch parties + Facetime, plus constant texting. He's also part of a virtual devised theater project with the former cast of Puffs (rehearsals were due to begin this week), which I can't even begin to thank the director enough for putting together literally overnight just because she wanted this group to be able to make theater together.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ahhhh, even under shelter at home I get to enjoy the exquisite pleasure of a thing I was supposed to (virtually) attend today getting cancelled.

What is even happening?
JZ and Hec, I'm sorry Matilda didn't get into her school. Thanks for sharing her sweet moment with Emmett.

Thrive to spite them
I went out for a walk. Too many people . Way too many. I don't even want to go out again but it was so nice to just walk. I guess I'll do laps in the backyard, it's not the same but I just passed a lot of people. and again a lot of older people.
Plus there were groups I know that can't possibly be in the same household walking/talking very close together.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mr. S didn't go to sleep until after 11 last night. Of course he was up by 8, and has been watching tv all day. Gary did the grocery run, and I will go out in a few minutes to pick up lunch.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Man, Aldi is on their game -- they had everything, including TP and paper towels. Meijer, on the other hand, STILL has cereal stocked on the TP shelves, so I feel like they're having a supplier problem.
Even so, I got everything we needed and all the shoppers were maintaining good social distance. I saw one woman shopping at Meijer wearing a big top hat with a dramatic curved feather. It made my morning.

'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've been thinking about What I Can Do and one thing that occurs is making face masks for Youville (my assisted living residence). I'll need to get my old sewing machine out and find where I put all my Supplies (and get out to a sewing store because I know I don't have any elastic for the loops). It's all straight seams and a couple of tucks.
As usual with anything about the Trump Pandemic (I agree that we should start calling it that -- it will be his biggest legacy in history) I should have started wearing a mask and making them a week ago. At least I was smart enough not to go out driving for Lyft last weekend, which would have been an even greater exposure, so there's that.
