My dystopian future
Monday May 11 2020 Right, so what did I do for Mother’s Day? Two loads of laundry and dinner. Got a Wendy’s lunch, so didn’t have to prepare that meal. These are weird times, y’all. A recent posting on FB went on about a time when 3,000 U.S. citizens died and we all cried for … Continue reading 27. Living history
Mother’s Day 2020 and another holiday of hardcore choices. We’re all starting to breathe a little easier with the relaxed social distancing guidelines, which makes the threat of disease transmission feel less likely. Which, of course, is not true at all. We’ve merely flattened the curve, as they say, so that when we do get sick, there will probably be a hospital bed available.
And now we have Murder Hornets and all the OMG news that goes with such a thing. To be honest, I haven’t looked into this. I’m still waiting to meet a Killer Bee from the 70’s.
Tuesday May 5 2020 As a reminder, everything non-essential is closed. This includes even the megabeast that is Disney World, which has furloughed 43,000 employees. Someone put out a question on FB asking if Disney World would reopen only with a mandatory mask requirement, would people still go. The response was no. One respondent said … Continue reading 24.

Wednesday May 4 2020 May the Fourth be with you.
Sunday May 3 2020 We broke quarantine yesterday. A friend invited us, along with a few other people, for a cookout. I griped about it a bit, but in the end said fine, let’s go. Figured it would be manageable to keep a reasonable distance from everyone and anyway, it’s outside. I don’t know, though. … Continue reading 22. Finger vs. Potato
Friday May 1 2020 We’ve surpassed 1,000 COVID-19-related deaths in Ohio. Today’s data on the CDC website shows 62,406 total deaths in the United States; 1,062,446 confirmed cases. I still don’t know anyone personally who has been ill with the virus. The hardest hit are nursing homes and prisons, of course. I was looking through … Continue reading 21. A captive audience
Tuesday April 28 2020 I saw a comment someone made online about the lack of school shootings. Can’t totally recall the full comment, but it had a stat that for the first time in something something, there was not one school shooting in March. The message was meant to be striking – it takes a … Continue reading 20. Conspiracies
Monday April 27 2020 We have started “Responsible Restart Ohio,” y’all. Some say it’s about time and others await the kaboom of new COVID cases. At any rate, the whole thing is a bit confusing and will certainly be screwed up in less than a New York minute. Maybe that’s just my cynical side talking. … Continue reading 19. Responsible Restart Ohio
Sunday April 26 2020 Feeling rather meh today. The windows are closed and heat back on after a beautiful day yesterday. Now it’s cold and rainy. I don’t know for sure that’s what’s affecting my mood, but I keep having little anxiety bursts that I can’t really identify. Need to do the big weekly grocery … Continue reading 18. It’s in the curtains
