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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

It's finally nice here for a minute, so my mother and I went for a walk, and saw some friends from their balcony and then neighbors were outside when we got home, too, so it was very nice to talk in person to additional people!

I looked at the forecast and called for a "block party" Monday at 5 -- everyone can just go out on their own porches and yell across to each other. Neighbors seem into it!

None of ltc's monologue is internal, and it is constant. Luckily, it is not raining for the first time in several days, and TCG is taking her outside! There will be quiet!

I'm super glad Tim is home, since he's higher-risk for Covid-19, but since we humans are complex creatures and can feel multiple, sometimes contradictory, things at the same time, I *also* might stab him. But somewhere non-fatal. MAYBE.

Timelies all!

Being in the house all the time wouldn't be so bad if it was just me and Gary, but adding the ADHD preschooler who frequently has meltdowns is a lot to deal with.
