Making out a grocery list, paying some bills. Listening to the wind. Watching birds fly off somewhere for the night. There's been a huge wind/dust storm and only now, right before sunset, are things starting to settle down, the sky looks amazing. Having a snack, sipping some tea, drying some laundry. Comforting Monte. There are windstorms and then there are windstorms and we've never been through one as big as this one in all the time he's lived with me. I'm getting ready to play my card game and listen to the news online. After, maybe a movie since the TV is up and running again and I'll have some time to kill till L (that's my helper) gets here to run me to the store.

Things are going crazy here because people are stocking up due to fears about the corona virus. Costco is slammed, I can't imagine. Shoppers there, so many are so rude. They always shop like they've done no preparing, it's just days before the tribulation sets in, and they have no hope of being raptured because there they go, all their friends floating away without them. And that's in good times. Imagine if there ever was a real disaster. Tonight I'm going to shop in my old neighborhood where people are too poor to strip the shelves bare and rioters and looters will be shot on site. These rich people around here are crazy. I mean having a lifetime supply of BBQ tongs, toothpaste and peppered beef jerky isn't going to do thing one to save anyone from the corona virus.

FSF whoa. Sounds intense. I hope things settle down.

I'm unwinding from a very very busy day. Listening to Piano Guys, glass of white wine, and soon to go read a bit.

Well, at work.

Had an interesting meeting with the social worker who said she was glad she got out of her building because they were about to go on lock down (an admin building NOT a school building). Apparently a guy came in with fake flowers and was talking to a janitor and became a bit enraged.... pulling out a knife on him. yikes!

Waiting for email to load to start my work day while listening to Joy-Ann Reid.

Cleaning the washing machine

Skimming over the nutty and helpful posts at UrbanBaby.

Debating whether or not to worry about clawing back my summer camp money while there is still time.

Listening to my preschooler laugh in his sleep every now and again. I love when he does that. Once I caught him talking to Pac Man in his sleep.

Eating half a loaf of brioche I found in the freezer.

Getting Lost in TikTok
 

Lesbians in the time of Corona or what I learned from TikTok.

1. We can't recognize each other unless we have an eyebrow slit or a high bun ( I've been doing it wrong these many years).
2. Femmes are vapid, silly creatures with little intelligence (eyeroll please).
3. Youngsters only recognize three"types" of lesbians: Femme, Stud or Stem (what happened to my lovely butches)?
4. Cultural appropriation is done with impunity ( not everywhere but pretty apparent).

Please know this is a tongue in cheek post and highly generalized.

Cheers, Starfish. I enjoyed your post and I'm thanking you because I know how hard it is to write humour and then be worried it might be misunderstood.
:thumbsup: btw, that's also how i feel about lots of these icons.

Listening to Pandora on my echo dot

Trying to decompress after a shitty day

Working on compiling a movie list for my new Aquatic Physical Therapist...:popcorn:

To aid me in this, I'm scanning back thru various movie threads and tons posts...:movieguy:

Copying a gazillion files from one server to another. Says it will take "about 2 days." I'll be doing good if it doesn't crash before copying all files.

Sorta/kinda packing up my office—deciding what to keep, what to give away, what to leave behind, what to toss out.

Besides playing on the planet
 

I have been 2 hrs. in YouTube watching old country music with a lot of the older country music stars. Loved it. Will get back at it tomorrow. Love that old country stuff, well some of it LOL.

Forcing myself to not shout at my sons, daughters-in law to bust a move and get here with my first aid supplies ta now already! I mean this is after all only a medical emergency. Okay a minor one but still, what if it had been something really life threatening serious and I couldn't get to the phone? They're probably down at Purple Cross right now plotting, planning and rubbing their hands in anticipation. Okay maybe I'm over reacting a bit but seriously sometimes it feels like my first, last and middle names should be Hurry Up And Wait.
