Trudy, lots of ~ma to your aunt and family. This is so difficult.

And yay, Mac! good human beingness.

In sadder news, my sister and her partner had to put to sleep one of their dogs this week. The dog was only five but with lots of health issues. In the last month there has been a deterioration to the point where the dog hallucinated most of the time and banged her head and limbs repeatedly into walls and objects. They tried every possible treatment, but there was no choice but to put her to sleep. The situation is heartbreaking.

Health~ma for your aunt, Trudy.

I'm sorry about the poor dog, Shir.

Recovery~ma for your aunt, Trudy. It is so hard to not be able to hold hands with our loved ones. One of the cruelest parts of this crisis in many ways.

Sorry about the pup, Shir. So hard to watch them suffer.

Kids have their house inspection today. Talking a more reasonable month for closing now. I thought a couple weeks was super quick!

Best thoughts to your aunt and whole family, Trudy.

In other news, I just found out that young Golda Meir and I have the same facial expression in photographs. It's the "I understand it's necessary but it's hell and I want it to end, are we done?" expression.

(To illustrate my point, I sent her picture to a friend who thought I was talking nonsense and they replied with "no no, you're beautiful, it's just a bad picture of you!". To which I laughed and laughed).

That's wonderful, msbelle. So glad to hear it.

So sorry, Trudy. That sounds very stressful.

I honestly have been avoiding thinking more than a week out. My work isn't opening offices anytime soon. I appreciate their conservative, science based plans, but oof, it's sobering & I just want to go hide under the bed for the next week or until I have to think about the week after that...

I keep wanting to take a day off and then like, do what?

I keep wanting to take a day off and then like, do what?

I'm seriously considering taking a vacation day for the Community livestream (since it's in the middle of the afternoon on a Monday), but other than that - yeah, what would I do with vacation time if I used it?
