Serene of the Oakland Serenes

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 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?

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.
