Bummer, meara

My gut says "money theory". I want to somehow turn it into "bang theory" but I know that can't be right.

Ooh, streaming services, I hadn't thought of that! Maybe I ca find some. I don't belong to a shul so I haven't been to services in years. I'm gonna have to look around for something.

I finally got groceries. It took me forever to get out the door and then another forever to actually shop but now the cat is fed and I have fixin's for tomorrow and stuff I can just eat without cooking right now.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

How would you pronounce "$ theory"?

First impulse: dollar theory

Second impulse: money theory

Third impulse: string theory

I have no idea what I'm going to do for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Not going would be fraught, especially since there are a bunch of family birthdays we also celebrate during that time.

I do not feel good about flying right now and I'm not sure how much that will change in a few months. How would I quarantine at my parents' house? My dad's high risk. Would I be able to spend an entire month there without running into the woods screaming? And now that my parents are retired, trying to work from their house has not been very successful with them in the house all the time and running the vacuum when I'm trying to run a meeting.

Yikes, shrift, I think you should stay in SF. Perhaps if the weather's good some of us could have a socially-distanced Turkey dessert on Saturday or something?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think, counter-intuitively, airplanes are relatively safe because the ventilation is good. But you also want to be sure that people are wearing masks, and wearing them correctly, and god knows you can't depend on people for fucking anything.

So...yeah, holidays are going to be complicated.

I have definitely given up on any thought of visiting my family this Christmas (we don't traditionally do thanksgiving). If only because I'd have to board the dog for weeks, rent a place to quarantine, and then would want to leave after a few days! I fear the demand to visit asap after will be huge though, when I'll really want to be visiting friends and going on vacation and whatnot.
