serene: lolcat hates everything (i hate everything)
These are not in order of importance. My mind is all over the place today.

1) Playing Choose Your Own Apocalypse is wearing me out. I know I am not alone in this.

2) Went back to school to get (finish) a degree in nutrition. I like school. Plus, I like having something to do with every moment of time. But it doesn't help with the worn-out part.

3) [livejournal.com profile] mac_arthur_park has died. I will miss her dark sense of humor, her deep goodness, and even her air of benevolent tragedy. I will never smell patchouli and not think of Al. There will be a collection for her surviving family. I will post about it when I hear details.

4) Mom has been very ill for the last 10 days. I am wiped out from it, and angry with her for resisting medical care, and simultaneously respectful of her needing things to be on her terms. But yeah, really tired of the physical work of caring for someone who hates being taken care of.

5) My kid hasn't had a hug in 6 months and I am sad for her but not willing to hug someone who is housemates with an ICU nurse while I'm living with elderly relatives.

1) Stuff is growing in my farm box! I'll post pics later.

2) I have started a Poem-a-Day project on my YouTube channel. Today's will be one I wrote here for [personal profile] ljgeoff.

3) Work appears to be preparing us for budget disaster. No layoffs are planned right now, but they won't be filling a lot of the vacant positions, and we're bracing for whatever comes. There are only two people in the district in my classification, and I don't have seniority.

4) Because my heart symptoms have worsened since quarantine (I assume because of inactivity and a lax commitment to eating what my body's happiest consuming), I have been riding the stationary bike for 30 minutes a day and moving back toward the foods that seem to help with these symptoms. I have to be very vigilant to avoid diet trauma when I do things like this.

5) Folks are fine here. Mom has settled down and isn't so frantic to get out of the house. Maybe once a week she takes a ride someplace safe (she's going to drop a letter in the post office drive-up box today) and for the rest of the time she seems content to read, play cards with me, do some cooking, and water the garden from time to time.

6) When they announced Hamilton is coming to Disney+, I subscribed SO FAST!


How are you, my lovelies?

I just closed a half-dozen tabs that were old posts from y'all that I keep meaning to respond to. Apologies, but I have limited oomph this week, as a lot of us do.

But hey, surveys are easy.

Quarantine meme (quaranteme? quaranmeme?) picked up from [personal profile] julian who got it from [personal profile] crystalpyramid.

Some of us who are disabled and/or fat are worried we'll be denied access to scarce medical resources during the pandemic. This document describes our legal rights (in the US) and ways to maximize our likelihood of getting care.
