The status is NOT quo.

Agreed!

Our wings are not tired.

Mmm, the pandemic sangria sounds good.

Hello all! Was a super lazy slug yesterday so did some work this morning. Now trying to motivate myself to swim. I'm good with the whole staying home thing and can entertain myself with reading, watching the tube, and swimming or walking around the block. DH, not so much. He has always been in perpetual motion. He asks a couple times a day if I need something from the store and will even take the dog for a ride up and down the beach. He wears a mask when he goes places, like he has to go to our datacenter this morning and brought a mask with him. Actually, the datacenter generally allows 24/7 access for tenants, but now you have to schedule an appointment so they can do the elevator/doornob/stuff wipe down routines. I'm sure the techs there would have moved the equipment around for him, but he "has to do it himself", as in have a chance to socialize with the datacenter nerds. I'm confident they are as on top of containment of covid viruses as they are with computer viruses, actually the nerd lounge there was already set up with distancing now that I visualize it!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I did almost zero work yesterday, bought a bunch of stuff online (keyboard and mouse to make the home office more workable long term, gift cards to more local places, new socks (the pandemic has shown me that life is too short for crappy socks), and a case of locally made pints of ice cream)).

Today I slept way in (11:30) and am prepping to move the computer to the basement as see if the wifi reaches and start making masks/putting the basement into some sort of order.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I started the morning by cutting my finger while attempting to slice an English muffin. And then my body decided that was sufficient cause to freak out, so I had to lie down, so as not to pass out. It took a really long time to stop bleeding. Go me.

Stop that, Dana! Be nice to your body.

Well, I swam 50 laps, about an hour for my super slow self. Then I lounged in the sun for about 20 minutes figuring it was good for bug killing. I never lay out so I'll probably be pink.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

JZ, I'm glad you're better, and so so sorry about your dad. Emotional and physical recovery~ma to you and your whole family.

Job~ma and income~ma to everyone who needs it.

It made me wonder who among us wished Trump (or his voters) would get what's coming to them.

I might be wishing it now.

My anxiety has been off the charts even for me. I'm going to work a couple hours on this freelance project I've been ignoring too long, and then I'm going to go do a jigsaw puzzle and try to forget about the world for a while.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Hugs and love to everyone who needs some.

We're getting a lot of clean up done today. In related news apparently ltc has exactly 3 weeks worth of clothes, including socks and under until her freaked out momma really has to do laundry. The clothes are because she inherits a ridiculous amount from her older cousin and the socks and underwear is because Santa and her grandparents gave her so many of them for Christmas.

I REALLY want to have someone over. I am so tired of myself.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

A thing I have learned about myself: I love going to events and hanging out with friends, and I miss all of that. BUT it turns out I also need several hours a week of no one talking to/at me. I miss my spa for multiple reasons.

(I love Mr. Loomycakes, but his monologue is not very internal.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just took part in a zoom book club chat. That was nice. This was not a previously established group so I didn't know how it would go.
