this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tim was like, well, I probably don't need to get tested because we stay pretty far apart. After I stopped internally screaming, I said "Look, you need to get tested if for no other reason than it's your responsibility to your other co-workers, because if you test positive, *you* need to be off work and they need to know about it."

But you know, he also needs to get tested because he's got some high-risk factors and needs to know. And he needs to get tested so that *I* know if I need to get tested.

God damn cocksucking motherfucking BULLSHIT.

Steph, I'm wearing my "Literally Can't Even" t-shirt today, but I hereby cede the rights to "Can't Even" to you today, 'cuz boy howdy, you're gonna need them. That is some next level shit to cope with.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

When I called my mother to cancel Thanksgiving, we commiserated about how fucking angry we are at people who aren't isolating and wearing masks.

Thrive to spite them

So I found out at work we had some face masks & sweatshirts that had to be pulled at work . They are made by our junior label

They said something like "Dear 2020 F@#K U" and "Back the F@#K up". I get why they were pulled (it's the brand for teens/young adults) but I am really feeling those sentiments right now

Yeah i think even if all the folks I know are trying to keep it small or be careful or whatever, we are still going to have a crazy spike post-thanksgiving. And yet I’m still super depressed that I have zero plans.

I think I may have prevailed on my mother not to put her 87 year old husband in the car and drive 12 hours to Charlottesville to attend a family memorial gathering for her aunt, with other attendees coming from Baltimore, Oklahoma and the UK, and none of them under 55. I mean at least her 93 year old medically fragile uncle already survived Covid? (The aunt died in her sleep, unexpectedly but peacefully, at 88.)

Did I mention my mother is a registered nurse? But not very sensible.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am pro Nilly Zoom.

Shir you can email me any pictures.

I am anti Tim’s co-worker.

I am not seeing anyone over any Holiday unless Mac does a 180 and decides he want to visit. I am still planning to go to Disney in Jan. It is booked and flights are bought. I doubt I will cancel unless they close, have an outbreak, or offer a fee-free delay. I will alter what I do there and it may mean fewer indoor rides.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

We had to cancel Peanut & my mom's birthday lunch yesterday (they have the same birthday) because we're all so worried about the spikes. They only live 2 hours away, and we're all pretty careful, but it just didn't feel like a good idea. I'm so sad and so angry that this is still such a concern.
