I'm all the way over here and I just put on Great British Bake-Off because it's all I can deal with.
I watched 5 (or maybe 6) hours of Ted Lasso on Tuesday night because it was the best thing I could think of to forestall just totally losing it.
Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

No, no trip insurance, but it's fine. If I decide I need to change my flight, American will do it without a fee. Luckily (?) I brought my work computer with me. But should I fly home Tuesday? I wouldn't want someone who knowingly had covid to come on my plane and sit next to me.

Ok, I am very satisfied with my cheap as hell e-bike that folds up small enough to fit in a Prius trunk but I just discovered that Vespa makes an electric model that only costs 15x as much and I am wistful.

Yep. So pretty. I have wanted a Vespa since Lou Reed did that Honda commercial and that one calls to me so strongly! I will have to work on arranging my life to make owning one practical.

In perpetual motion here. Today the usual work stuff, plus going to Miami at 10 to look at a boat. Then noon back here to move all my stuff to BIL's house where DH will spend the summer and I'll reside from time to time. Tomorrow at some early hour picking up 18 teens and driving to Orlando for 3 day basketball tournament. I plan to do as much food prep as possible, but don't even know the actual schedule yet. Hope to get info on that from DH on the road to and from Miami. We will have a kitchen at the hotel. (I know how to feed them easily enough, but don't know the game schedule or kitchen capability yet) Back late Monday and then Tuesday evening get the big ass rental truck to pack all our shit to take to NY. Leave Wednesday for NY with 3 animals and 2 vehicles. Travel 3 days. After about a week DH flies back to Ft. Lauderdale. Need to get him to commit to a date so I can make a reservation. I have tickets to fly down on June 30 for his surgery and stay a week. Guess I should get packing.

I'm here with Dana, btw. We're trying to keep her fed, hydrated, and entertained while she isolates in a bedroom upstairs. We're all testing daily and have had two rounds of negatives thus far.

Hang in there, Dana.
