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

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Amy, your boss sounds like a piece of work. I hope by the time you read this, Sara and you are safe at home.
JZ, I hope things move from steady to improving for your father soon. I'm sorry about your brother's chemo.
Still no word on how my uncle is doing.
A neighbor in the building next to mine is assumed positive for COVID due to symptoms and likely exposure. She's a grocery store clerk. And now she and her husband are quarantined. There are confirmed cases in the apartment complex (such as it is—8 units, I think) next door, too.

Now tagless for your comfort.
This is not a virus to react to. Proactive is the way to go but without consistent leadership, we be fucked.
In other news, I have been drinking all day and Liv and I are baking a version of Prince Henry and Princess Megan's elderflower wedding cake.

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
he's now been on the vent for 6 days and is no closer to being extubated
I'm no authority of course, but according to my governor (boyfriend), COVID patients tend to have longer stints on vents - that's part of why they need so many more of them. My impression is that whereas 6 days with no closer to being extubated would normally be a fairly long stint, it's isn't in this circumstance.
Hang in there, JZ.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
JZ, all my thoughts with you and yours, except for the thoughts with the rest of you and yours, and basically, infinite ~ma for us all, my darlings.
I've been coloring my own hair for the past 25 years, and it's pretty hard to screw up cutting with clippers. (DH already trims his own beard and shaves his head, so I know he has a steady hand.)
If it's good enough for the Brothers Evans (the self-cut with clippers, if you haven't seen Scott Evans documenting his quarantine buzzcut with a sibling assist), it's good enough for all!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
All my thoughts, JZ. You are in a hard place but you have a lot of love around you.

My stylist posted something (funny) about the home color and cuts he'd be seeing after this pandemic fades. I told him to be glad I went to OverTone. Also to get back to doing yoga on his Facebook because I love having him as my yoga dude again. Especially since I didn't actually do any yoga after he stopped classes and I had surgery.

I have not seen this. And I have assigned blame already.

{{{JZ}}} Continued ~ma for you and yours headed your way.
ltc slept in an hour late today. So, I was able to finish my first cup of tea and read for a bit before she woke up. As a result, I'm so much calmer this morning than I've been in forever.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
excellent sj - I hope it is a good day.
I am going into the office today. I probably won't have any interactions with people, but I am kicking myself for not making masks this weekend, because I would like to go buy some liquid soap to refill mine.
