Decided to stay inside today, after yesterday's two hour excursion. I think it was two hours...let's see I left at 4:30 or thereabouts and returned at 6 something. So about two hours? I ached a little afterwards, and my shoulders and back are bothering me today. Possibly the arthritis, connected to the weather. I took two tynenol and have cold on my back, heat on my shoulders and drinking a spiked lime seltzer - calling it a day.
Deliveries
________
Me: You have permission to laugh at me.
Mother: Okay..
Me: I now have enough toilet paper to last until 2021.
Mother laughs.
Me: It's three packs of eight rolls, equaling 33 rolls each since the rolls are thick. It was impossible to get less than that, and I gave up. Quilted Northern.
Mother: Well, I guess you could just stack them one on top of each other in your closet?
ME: Oh, I got them into the closet, I just put them on top of the rest. I also have enough paper towels to last into 2021. Which is good because they are impossible to find in the grocery stores - and I got tired of hunting for them. What I'm about to run low on is disinfectant...

Mono vs. COVID-19
Oh, my niece's test results came back. She has mono. We're all relieved. Yes, I know, it's odd that we're all relieved that it is mono. But we know what "mono" is and that it will eventually go away. COVID, not so much. You know life has gotten weird, when you're relieved that a beloved family member has mono.
She's been told to take it easy for the next few months, get plenty of rest, and not do anything. Since she can't really do anything anyhow - this isn't going to be a problem, also she's tired a lot.

Celebrity Gossip
Update on celebrity gossip...apparently Neil Gaiman felt the need to set the record straight on his split with Amanda Palmer - on "Good Reads" of all places. I'd forgotten about the whole thing.
I honestly don't care that much about writers or singers personal lives. But I do wish they'd stop reminding me of how rich they are and privileged. ( Read more... )
