Thrive to spite them

I took the meclizine prescription, well half, because I got dizzy and sitting down wasn't helping. Dizziness went away but I was left feeling slightly sleepy but that has improved.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Movers come tomorrow to drop off our stuff at the house. Naturally, we both have covid.

Oh good lord, Dana. I'm sorry. I hope other than that the physical moving goes smoothly!

I'm going to a rally tomorrow with Mom. Don't really know what to expect - it's an hour at a coffee shop downtown in her little city and hasn't really specified anything except it's for International Women's Day. Maybe a march? There's city hall and a county courthouse nearby. IDK. Wearing comfy shoes, not making a sign or anything.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh no, Dana!!! That is awful timing. I hope it is very mild for both of you. Unpack only the absolute necessities.

The East Broward Dems have been holding rallies every Saturday. Maybe tomorrow I'll go?

Good grief, Dana. I don't even know what. Sending you feel better soon and may it be mild vibes... and what Laura said.

Okay, I just read the autopsy info from Gene Hackman and his wife. It is horrifying. People! Please always have others you check in with daily. Check on each other. The idea that they were in such poor condition and no one knew is so very sad.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It is horrifying.

Seriously. She died a week before him, and he wandered around in an Alzheimer's daze alone until his heart gave out. Also the dog that died in the crate must have starved to death while the other two free ranged and scrounged.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

So sad and terrible

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I posted on Facebook, but that is horrifying and could totally happen to me OR my mother OR my uncle OR my aunt. We are all old and live alone (but they are obviously older than I am) We only check in once a week. I was doing daily during COVID, and then fell off. I am much more likely to get a welfare check because I live in a double, so I imagine the gentleman in the downstairs apartment would eventually notice at least the smell! I did get texts from folks checking in on me because I was working from home during our big snow event because I am a walker, public transportation taker etc, and it was too treacherous to navigate. They were afraid I would fall on the uncleared sidewalk, and frankly so was I!
