I am awaiting UPS. I'm getting up to look out the window anytime I hear a truck and the UPS website says it's still out for delivery, so I guess we'll see.

My uncle, a man who bought handguns after President Obama was elected and named his dogs after Reagan and Thatcher, has been sending my dad right-wing conspiracy theory videos. My mom has been showing my dad Snopes, and apparently my uncle has been claiming that you can't trust Snopes because it's run by Democrats.

My uncle's behavior is not surprising to me at all, but I kind of need him not to bring my dad into his bullshit.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Sophia, I am trying to get my sister to ship me a case of hand sanitizer. She works for a supply chain/chemical packaging company and they switched some of their production lines to sanitizer. If she comes through I can send some out.

Ugh, shrift.

It's near the Whole Foods, Hec (the new Whole Foods which is probably no longer the new Whole Foods but is definitely not the old one over by the fairgrounds), which might tell you a lot about the neighborhood. Definitely was a nice place to walk the dog!

I've been getting my hand sanitizer from the liquor store. Apparently St Augustine Distillery has switched over some facilities to making little 2-ounce bottles of it.

I lost my little bottle of hand sanitizer he first time I went out with it clipped to my purse, probably in March. I'm always home, though, so I just wash my hands.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, all the distilleries around here are making hand sanitizer, which I think is pretty cool.

Fuck, my BP is stupid low, not just for a Lang, but for a human (89/62). I'd been getting some lightheadedness and dizziness on and off for a couple (few?) weeks and assumed that they were stress-related.

Oh, could that be low blood pressure? My blood pressure tends fairly low, and I've been a little lightheaded here and there.

Good thing I had fried pickles and pizza for dinner?

Lightheadedness and dizziness are definitely symptoms of low blood pressure. Annoyingly, they're also symptoms of a kerzillion other things, like anxiety, migraines, and god only knows what else.

I mean, just being lightheaded/dizzy isn't proof of low blood pressure, but if you do have low blood pressure AND are lightheaded/dizzy, they're almost certainly linked.

I had a gluten free Hot Pocket and kettle cooked chips for dinner. Take THAT, blood pressure!

That house is divine. Almost worth the humidity.

Almost.

Yeah, to me nothing is worth living in the New Orleans climate. Probably any other city wouldn't be worth visiting with that climate, but they do get the gold medal for good food, good booze, and good times.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Several of our local distilleries are making hand sanitizer in NC, too.

The plumber fixed the plumbing issues, and tomorrow the landlord will be fixing everything that had to be torn down to get to the pipes. Then I can put everything back and get on with my sheltering in place. But for tonight, tequila and gardening shows.
