Not my normal Saturday. I volunteered with other people from my department to work a food distribution center today. We gave out over 100 boxes of food in 2 hours. It is HOT here today, HOT AND HUMID. I stank like stank.

I stopped at a plant place and a grocery and drug store on the way home, was starving when I got home so quickly ordered take out from the place 1 block away, got it and went in to the local drug store for 2 things I forgot at the other one. I still need to get a filter for the HVAC, but that is not happening today.

Since being home I watched S2 of Fleabag - I finished S1 last night - I had stopped after ep 2 when I last watched it.

Now I am watching S1 of Marvelous Mrs. Maisel which I had stopped after ep 1 because I found everyone really annoying.

I quit Prime, so I have until the end of this month to cram in as much as possible. I am doing Amazon original content first.

Happy Birthday erin.

We had to fly back to Brazil before our Visa expired. Definitely not the safest feeling experience. The flight from Minneapolis to Houston was a little under half full and felt okay, but the Houston international terminal was quite busy and crowded, especially in the few restaurants that were open, and the Brazil flight was basically full. I definitely slept even worse than normal.

For the Brazil flight we had to present a doctor's note stating we were certified Covid free (negative test received Monday) but the many Brazilian citizens on board did no it have to do that. So hopefully we made it through uninfected.

Today was the first day of our deep quarantine and it's so hard to look out he window at beautiful Sao Paulo weather (56 - 76 temps today and sunny) and not go out... Still, at least everything can be delivered easily. We got not one but TWO grocery deliveries today.

Gris, I worry about y'all! Brazil is one of the few places that seems to be determined to fuck shit up as much as we are back home! Which I guess means you're going from threat level shitty to threat level shitty? but how much consolation is that, really?

(much of this is colored by my officemate in my last job being brazilian and exactly as "everything sucks and is full of drama and suckage so hey let's party!" as basically all the other brazilians I've ever known. But that vs. quarantine times makes my anxious white girl self even more so!)

Oh dear, Gris. That has to be stressful. May your isolation be as pleasant as possible.

Yikes Gris, good luck!

I went camping last night and am bummed we did not even try to see the comet—we figured the mountains would probably be in the way. And I ended up with a wicked headache today and left and got home an hour ago. Took more painkiller, waiting for it to kick in and then I will nap.

I just got back from a few days at the beach, which was mostly delightful, but of course we came home for the hottest day of the week tomorrow. (We took what we could get as far as the rental house, and really three days was perfect.)

I hate to break it to msbelle, but it wasn't even that bad humidity for here- sky was blue. I did forgo my walk, but that was because I got my first outdoor swim. 2 hrs, got in 2 miles & change & chill time. Going to another tomorrow, but probably sticking to the one that can give me 2 hrs on wkends with max 25 people. I was never close to a person, masked or not, other than the temp taker.

Side note: my normal low body temp causes most to recalibrate the therm. No, not broken, I just sit at 97ish. I'd pull myself if I hit high 99s out of cycle.

Happy belated birthday, erin_o!

Ouch, Consuela!

And oy, Gris. Health ~ma to you and your family.

Welp, my state has bitten the bullet. Masks are now going to be mandatory here in Melbourne for the foreseeable future, starting from Thursday. I have a couple on order; will need to look into getting a few disposables to tide me over until they arrive. (Biyi and her parents already have masks.)

I'll be interested to see how well people adapt. Hopefully there won't be too many yahoos. I've already had one law firm in my Facebook feed advising people not to wear a mask and contest the fine in court, so there's proof positive that a law degree isn't an effective proxy for an IQ test.
