Natter 76: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Foaminess
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
oh man, so much uncertainty with everyone. virtual hugs to everyone.
I got dinner from the Brick Oven Pizza place and planned to buy some more beer, but THE LIQUOR STORE IS TEMP CLOSED!!!! oh noes y'all.
I went to two drug stores today looking for some refill hand soap. None to be had, bought just a new pump one instead.
Cousin felt peppy enough to vaguebook today. It was nice to see her pixels.
She put up a picture from last Easter and talked about simpler times. We all talked about how beautiful the picture was. I linked to this:

Tomorrow I am working registration table at a Blood Drive for 2 hours. YAY out of the house!
We get protective gear to do it, so I am not worried. They came to the county asking for volunteers and I figure, better me than someone that lives with others.
Oh JZ, Cindy, Calli... I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry for all the illness and sad news you guys. I'm thinking of you guys.
I was hoping to self isolate for 14 days and then go visit my dad for Easter and his 92nd birthday. But Oz's inhaler is going to run out in the next week, so I have to go to the pharmacy tomorrow. It throws a wrench in things.
I'm sorry for everyone. It's so awful.
Me, I'm safe at home with the puppy who does not understand why she's not allowed to sleep on the futon behind me when I'm working.
I had a relatively productive afternoon but now the internal file-sharing site I need to access just won't let me in and I am ready to give up for the day.
Trudy, I'm glad your cousin is feeling better.
So I survived my company's layoffs. I'm hoping this is the only round. I have plenty of work to do for current clients, but it's the stuff that's in the pipeline that could be an issue.
The restaurant is still open for takeout. I'm managing social media, graphic design, and content creation in the hopes that my sister doesn't have a nervous breakdown. My father drops off food a few times a week since we aren't going up to help anymore. MedicGuy and I aren't going to chance it. Every call he goes on now requires universal precautions. All of the station's remaining PPE is inadequate, so that's lovely.
We made fancy dinner tonight. Shrimp, farfalle, onion, garlic, curry powder, cream, Pernod, pistachios, and spinach.
I so sorry for everyone.
One of my cousins in Massachusetts has been sick. Her Covid test was negative, but her doctor thinks it was a false negative. She's been isolating from her whole family, which has been tough -- she's got a baby grandson and a 90-year-old mother. She's feeling somewhat better now, which is good.
I've had these lyrics as my tagline here for over a decade, I think. Just had to Adam's name and the z''l (which is short for the Hebrew phrase meaning "of blessed memory.")

That's so good! I wish we still had blood drives.
