☀️ Sorry for flaking out. A bit of family time and that extra day of work and..... ppllbt.

Long as you're okay

I slept. Am ok.

mmm

Back in classroom again with class that finished their week 1 the day we went on furlough.

Fun!

Let's see, Bluebell is the herald? Or is it troubadour or jester?

...yes?

Right. nod

"Mom, Da, this is Vince, he'll be sleeping at the foot of my bed on Thursdays"

..........

"Mew. Just consider me like a friend of Mackerel."

"About that apartment idea, Siv....."

And Catnik is correct, "yes"

A thought... boy. do I pity the orthodontist that Briar sees for her checkups.

Ha

Maybe it's a Dougal with an artificial arm/hand, and just charges extra for replacement fingers at the end of the day.

Or has tongs

with a long handle

Or a chloroform rag

Now that's likely.

Either that or her orhodontist IS a Redcap that can keep her in line... Cue Little Shop of HOrrors songs

morning!

I lied earlier, intended on but never actually got the coffee

it's here now though!

Morning

woo!

Sigh, I want a vacation. I could take time off, but if I didn't go anywhere, I'd just end up working. I really wish I could visit the parents... last summer we went hiking in Tucson and it was incredible

If I thought my parents would quarantine for a couple weeks I'd go, but my dad is still being sent out to job sites

I'm not a fan of the Southwest Terrain, but they have some great night skies depending on the area that's for sure

SO MANY STARS.

I should be in pennsic panic prep

It made me want to cry it was so pretty to look at. In Chicago we get, like, seven

I'd even be glad to just go hang out at my parent's place. They're in fairly rural Oklahoma. Maybe if we drove down and quarantined after getting back.

I was asked yesterday what I do to de-stress. This morning I realized that one thing I do to de-stress is go out to a diner. Have food that I don't have to cook, brief interaction with waitress, sounds of people around me but no obligation to interact with them, no clean-up afterwards....all good. WHICH OF COURSE I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO SINCE MARCH.

Oy. Yeah, that explains a lot.

A friend of mine has been taking their 2 year old for 'Lovely Lovely Picnics' which is just lunch packed and eaten on the grass outside in their courtyard

Could you get takeout and eat it outside somewhere?

I mean, with Take out you still have a mess

I've been getting fast food and eating it in the car. Not the same.

no, not.

So many restaurants reopening with (crowded) outdoor space here

shit, I love diners

I love restaurants
