I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
C'mon now, everybody knew this year would be shit show until the Inauguration. So none of this officially counts as 2021 yet.
But I was thinking about how I exhaled when Obama took office and felt this tension in my body leave that I'd been storing during the whole Bush presidency.
And I won't feel that same relief this time. I'll feel hypervigilant.

Msbelle are you actually going to Florida/Disney soon? Is that a good plan?

If so, don't bring back COVID-19 like my aunt did!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Yes meara I am. Disney has had no outbreaks linked to it. They are still operating at much lower capacities and have many things (live shows, many sit down restaurants) shut down. Rides have had plexiglass installed and many have limited seating. Masks are required except when eating. I know it is an unnecessary risk, but I am taking a lot of precautions and will treat it like any trip to a store or the Farmer’s Market. I’m mostly worried about the airport and plane. I will double mask the whole time and I have a face shield in addition to my glasses for the airport and plane and if I feel I need it at the parks.

Huh. So T. S. Eliot was right. At least somewhat.

That sounds right.

We had a windstorm here overnight. I am relieved to say my newest tent did not break and collapse like my previous tent did! Yay. On the other hand, all week I’ve been convinced it’s the next day—today I woke up and thought “well, at least it’s Thursday”. And then went “...wait, crap, no it’s not”.

I have no argument against that.

This made me laugh. Picturing the spinny hourglass thing, maybe a status bar crawling to the right. Then we'll have to restart.
