I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Go Tom! Metallic stars of all shades!

I'm taking a sick day tomorrow. I still don't have a real fever, but the cough and pain-when-I-take-a-deep-breath are tiring enough that I don't think trying to work is a good idea. I feel like I'm malingering, though.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Behind the couch? Are we even ALLOWED to vacuum back there?

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

Go Tom!

I just found out that my last living uncle is in hospice with a respiratory problem, and word is he'll be gone soon. He's 90, and geography kept me from getting to know him well. But he seems like fairly good people, and I think the world will be a little less without him in it. So many individual worlds blinking out right now. And most all of them a tragedy for someone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm sorry, Calli.

Look at you, Tom! I finally cleaned my bathroom today, so that's something.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

-t, please, please, please keep a close eye on yourself. Cough and pain with breathing are not good. You are absolutely 1000% not malingering.

Thanks, JZ.

Oh yeah, I knew I had a third thing! It was what JZ said, -t.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Cough and pain with breathing are not good. You are absolutely 1000% not malingering.

And, to be clear, there are things other than Covid-19 that it could be that would still need a doctor's attention (bronchitis, walking pneumonia, good ol' pleurisy). So yes, please keep an eye on it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So my uncle called and my cousin, who's 35 weeks pregnant, has Covid 19.

She sick but so far being treated at home. Tylenol is keeping her temperature at 99. Her breathing was already somewhat restricted by the pregnancy.

Her husband and 4 year old are on another floor of the house. They have no symptoms. She last saw her parents on the fifteenth and they don't either. It looks like she was exposed the day after I last saw her at her grandmother's funeral.

We're keeping it off social media (this doesn't count!) and the family phone tree is through her parents.

It's a big family and I knew this call would come eventually.

Oh man, Trudy. Best thoughts to all of them. How awful.
