I say it so often it's embedded in my skin
don't die
Have another cup of tea.
Did you buy the new shoes?
What's your plan for tomorrow?
don't die
don't die
don't die
When the plague is over, we'll go dancing;
I hate dancing, but we'll go.
don't die
We'll visit that coffee shop, if it's still open;
that one you took me to, before all of this.
don't die
What's on telly?
don't die
What're you eating?
don't die
What do you want from this stunted existence?
please don't die
I'm reaching out again,
trying to find the edges of you in the ether.
A hundred miles away, and still beside me.
Let me tell you about the future.
don't die
What we're going to do together.
don't die
The supermarket is closing soon,
you have to go and buy groceries.
Be careful, I say.
Stay safe, I say.
don't die
I say.
don't die
They just opened up the pool and locker room showers and plus, the last couple times I went, there's more & more of the younger muscle-bro crowd making a big deal of oh no, gotta pull my mask down to talk at the pretty girl on the treadmill, or, can't bench unless I take my mask off.
So welp it was nice being able to work out at the gym again for a while but I guess I'm stuck using my home equipment again.
Angry about how good poetry is again
I ordered some maybe overpriced but excellent smelling candles from Cantrip Candles and now my house smells like a coffee shop. I would rec if you can find them in stock and are okay with the pricing.
I also started cleaning up my garage! Believe it or not I'm getting tired of video games so I've started finally looking at my house instead. It's amazing (and embarassing!) how much you can clutter up in 5 years without regular clearing.
that's how I am
I am so used to wearing my mask at this point, it is astonishing to me that anyone might ever be uncomfortable wearing one.
the mere visible presence of other people is enough to induce a reflexive mask panic. Next I'll start doing it while watching tv
And of course we just visited yesterday.
And apparently one of my uncles decided to do a 23andMe kit?
Because nothing turns a lighthearted genealogy exercise into immediate family turmoil like 2020 (turns out my great grandfather is decidedly not my great grandfather :cool: )
I just bought an Oaxacan Advice Pig from a slightly dubious online vendor at the princely sum of $42, so I think I'm making pretty good decisions right now.
You'll be able to run any future questionable late night purchases by it first, so this is some good forward planning if anything

In other news, I'm learning to build wooden stuff. I made a chair and just got some more wood for a second one.
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better

I'm different, that's for sure, and my interests have changed or adapted in some ways
I cannot imagine doing some of the things I used to do before the pandemic, namely hanging out at bars and going to the movies.
So I guess no movies till January.
Used to be they wouldn't let you wear a mask in public but now you're sposed to and they're never ever getting it back to the way that it was

Generally I like a good combination of extreme socializing and hiding out alone in my room for hours on end
I've been quite good at the hiding out part but I am starting to really feel the lack of human contact since I've only been visiting one friend at a time, once a month at best, and whoof, I'd love to be able to leave the house more
I do have a thing booked on Friday to get absolutely obliterated on moonshine with my best friend, eat some incredibly fancy cherry ice cream, and carve some pumpkins, so that will hopefully make up for things

I wonder how far you can push the mask thing. Can I get away with one of these.

I did see someone getting about in a full plague doctor mask last weekend, your people are out there
Working from home is an improvement so far, on account of being spared the hour long commute each way. But it's also led to me taking less time off to rest. I've worked more overtime than ever, and today is actually my first day of vacation since January.
I could definitely get used to working from home, and I'm an introvert anyway, but not being able to go out and do stuff after work grates on me sometimes, even if that thing is 'go get a cheesesteak from my favorite takeout place'
My wife was at an outdoor hang out last week with like 8 people. Everyone had masks on for most of the time, but at a certain point, people were getting a little lax and going without them, but still staying outside.
Anyway, this friend posts on Instagram that her husband's coworker got it and they were in the office together so now they're quarantining. She then was like "we did everything right -- we didn't go to gatherings (lie), we didn't have people over (lie), and we wear our masks everywhere (also a lie). Stay vigilant!"
Also, they had this coworker over for dinner -- their office is closed, so that's another lie.
The annoying thing is that my wife found out through Instagram. This girl didn't even have the courtesy to tell anyone at that get together in person. When my wife saw that post and asked her when she was planning to get tested, the girl was like "I'm just going to wait until Wednesday or Thursday", despite working at a hospital and being able to get tested within minutes upon request.
Needless to say, we're pissed and quarantining, because my wife's friend suuuuucks
Coran Attack!
I hate my state.

Canadians are stealing American culture I see.
And didn't, for a single second, question it.
Wonder whatever happened to those clowns

Somewhat surprised how twitchy the last massacre has me
