Our next door neighbor has decided that the best pasttime for his isolation is chainsaw carving. I'm not making this up.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Oh no, ND! Even if he makes you a nice carving, not soothing at all.

He cut down a bunch of trees in his yard, and is apparently now carving the stumps into chairs, and other things. This has been going on for at least a week.

When I moved from my last house the new owner took down a mango tree that was probably near 100 years old. My former neighbor took some of the beautiful wood and made a bowl for me from it. It took months after the tree was felled, something to do with aging the wood or something. Bowl is super pretty though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Same, DXM. It's like I've come home.

I've basically been practicing social isolation my whole life. This is my time.
Oh yes.

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
I have four roommates.
(And a bonus my-girlfriend-has-moved-in-for-the-quarantine-and-I-never-said-a-word roommate. At least she's stopped moving back and forth since she got furloughed.)
It's a good-sized house, but other than going for walks and the occasional food errand I haven't been alone in almost a month. It's making me a little crazy. At the risk of going full-hippie, I feel them around me all the time.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Under the stairs, while everybody else is at Prom. Wait, where did all these people come from, under my stairs?
Yay for pandemic sangria. The New version of 'make lemonade'.
Also yay for Whedonverse syncretism. I didn't know there was a name for it.

I long for the days when I too knew the love of a laconic man. "In your head, honey. You're narrating your life again."

Thrive to spite them
I got my car title! I can go do all my car related stuff ...but not now but later. Technically the DMV is open and they are taking appointments but I am not going through the DMV offices right now.

I think my sewing machine is well and truly broken this time. I may have to get the backup out of the basement -- it's made of cast iron...
