I'd have happily gone without a haircut for another year if it meant investing in a way to provide safe childcare and schools.

So much this! I'm not planning on going to a restaurant or getting a haircut anytime soon.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Also, while I have heard the term Yacht Rock I have no idea what it sounds like. I imagine something Jimmy Buffet-ish?

I believe it's inspired by soft rock/lite rock of the 1980s. Since yacht rock is new to me, I haven't heard any. I need to remedy that, though.

Ohhhhh. So I've listened to a TON of Yacht Rock I just didn't know it was called that!

(2) that there's a yacht rock band named Yächtley Crëw?

That is magical, and my day is better for knowing that.

According to my doctor, the weird throat thing is almost certainly muscle tension because of stress and ongoing existential dread. And because my doctor knows me REALLY WELL: "I'm sure you've been emotionally supporting your friends and family and trying to help people. So, what are you doing to take care of yourself? Are you giving yourself permission to relax? Ask for help?"

(I stare blankly at her)

"Uh-huh. That's what I thought."

It pleases me so much that your doctor knows to ask these questions, Atropa!

Yay, Atropa's doctor!

Is there any safe way to hire a part time nanny and ensure they're social distancing when not here?
