I went to Walmart today for the first time since March. I was walking, and realized I was near, and needed toothpaste adn razors, and wanted to look at plants. I have only been going to my little grocery store, so this was more people than I have been around in forever.
My big concern in going back is public transportation. My bus ride is an hour and a half to work. The bus seems like the perfect place to give or recieve the virus- enclosed space, lots of people. My office has not really said when we are going back. We can't have students in large groups inside the buildings (they can do labs and clinical in groups of ten) so why do we need to go back? But I miss my dual monitors a lot! People seem to have differing views depending on what meeting or group I am in. Some are telling me that I should ask to go in and get my monitors. Others say, why would you do that, we are back in two weeks. Very confusing.
Water off until noon Monday. They are waiting for a part. So 36 hours with no water. I'm unprepared. Usually I make sure I've drawn four gallons for drinking and hand washing, but this situation was a nasty surprise. My neighbors are bringing buckets to the swimming pool so they can flush.
Why can't I stop thinking about how much I want a shower?
I hear you Katerina -- we had no hot water for more than a week around Christmas here, and while I could go to a hot tub place near work for shower relief, it was a frustrating time. (Of course, that was a Before Times solution -- in fact, the hot tub place went out of business thanks to the pandemic.)
Tho' I just realized that the Madwoman in the attic was planning on making rose syrup anyway, and I bet that would be fantastic over ice cream ...
I just ordered a Rose Cordial from El Guapo, which is a woman owned business out of New Orleans: [link]

You really need to keep her. I'm so jealous of everything you post that she has made.
TCG just informed me that he has an evening meeting every night this week except Friday. He'll be able to come home for dinner, but I'll be doing bedtime routine by myself all week. Send help or gin.
DH came out to the patio with two glasses of cold water and a sly smile. Confessed he had used up our last flush...and heard water running to fill the tank. "It was... seren-poop-u-lar!"
Back to normal, with the stoopid jokes that always make me laugh.
Tallk me off the ledge. A friend of mine was the victim of a racist incident, which she posted about and a friend of hers responded with "All lives matter." "Don't let one bad apple cloud your judgement."
I am ready to burst into the thread and start verbally eviscerating him.
Are humans really this garbage?
Noooooo Cashmere. Can't you support the friend without feeding the troll?
I woke up late so I had to go through two and a half conversations pre-caffeinated. Big mistake. The conversations went alright, it's the "spent so much mental energy on that, I'll never be able to wake up today" vibe I got during.
Good luck!
Edited to add: damn, Cash, they are indeed everywhere today. I am now trying not to tell something to someone I know who is lecturing another friend that her rants are not sensitive enough or inclusive about other people's problems. Dude, these are rants, not a thesis.
