My dystopian future
Sunday April 19 2020 Sundays are our usual grocery day, mostly because I buy lunch meat for the week’s sandwiches and I want it as fresh as possible. But to be fully transparent here, it’s the latest I can put it off before starting the workweek. It’s difficult to grocery shop on weekdays. I feel … Continue reading 15. Sammy Sunday
Saturday April 18 2020 Today is my birthday and I don’t feel a day over 58. The years don’t bother me, really, because I’ve had friends who haven’t made it this far. Every day is a gift. I know this to be true. Still, as the years are bookmarked by this annual event, the day … Continue reading 14. Missing my mojito
Thursday April 16 2020 Woke up in a brighter mood today, dunno why. I’m fighting the urge to cling to my smartphone or Kindle and to get stuff done instead. Before I plugged the smartphone into the charger, to get it out of my hands for a while, I did see a quote that was … Continue reading 13. Comparison
Wednesday April 15 2020 It’s said that if you’re falling in a dream, you’ll wake up before you hit the ground and die. Or instead you might move onto another dream. A recurring theme I have in my dreams shows up when I feel like life is out of my control. I’ll encounter a series … Continue reading 12. Dreams of falling
Monday April 13 2020 I’m struggling here. It’s hard to focus, or actually I’m distracted by every little thing. I want to blame today’s mood on the poor sleep from last night. Still, my mood is down and has been for quite a while now. Talking with Derek yesterday afternoon, I realized that we’re all … Continue reading 11. Not ok
Saturday April 11 2020 Those in power have decided to change the way they’re collecting stats and I’m in a down mood today, so will just cut and paste from the state’s website. Don’t feel like typing much. The news on NPR yesterday morning was sick. Listened to the news stories instead of a podcast, … Continue reading 10. Sick news day
Thursday April 9 2020 Ohio Confirmed cases: 5,512Deaths: 213 Stopped at the grocery this afternoon. Thought I could get by another day by mucking around with stuff from the freezer for dinner, but I needed mayonnaise for our tuna fish sandwiches tomorrow, last day of Lent and all. Good Friday is tomorrow and that surprise … Continue reading 9. Easter is cancelled
Wednesday April 8 2020 Ohio Confirmed cases: 5,148Deaths: 193 Had to put gas in my car this afternoon. Finally did what I always thought about. Gas pump handles are nasty, they have got to be one of the biggest carrier of cooties without even mentioning the stink of gasoline on them. Today I wore latex … Continue reading 8. Gas cooties
Tuesday April 7 2020 I had my fingers in the wrong placement on the keyboard and actually started to write the day as turd. Today is Turdsday, 3,203rd day of the world deflating. Mentioned by Dr. Amy Acton on the daily news briefing with Mike DeWine, there is no business untouched in the United States … Continue reading 7. Turdsday
Monday April 6 2020 Ohio Confirmed cases: 4,450Deaths: 142 The puppy was restless in his crate last night, barking out of boredom. It made hitting a good REM sleep impossible. Then of course, I overslept with a barrage of weird dreams still bouncing around in my head. I made it through a productive day at … Continue reading 6. Bogeyman is coming
