Yeah it looks like too many states are going to open up without even following the guidelines that the administration shared. A few models have changed estimates and even the time when they’ll see another peak. I’m hoping my governor doesn’t go that way (and it seems like he won’t). Though the one thing I heard in the VA press conference yesterday is that they are looking to be able to open hospitals in counties not hit as hard by the virus to elective procedures. I’m conflicted because there are definitely areas of Virginia that are not as hard hit, but those areas are definitely underfunded in general and especially in the public health sector. We’ll see.
Eh, if red state after red state really wants to see more deaths —- so be it, I guess. I am fresh out of both compassion and outrage. Have at it, America. Just remember… You are making your own coffin — so you best ready to die in it.
One of my favorite, most colorful people at work just had a massive heart attack this morning. He didn’t make it :(. I’m so sad. I broke the 6 ft rule and hugged a dear friend. It’s all too much
Oh no. Sorry to hear that, Material Girl. Frustrating how, somehow, only the wrong people ever seem to die.
MG I’m so sorry for your loss!
BGM I’ve always related to you. I’m a mentally ill addict who has never lived up to my potential. I was blessed with amazing parents, a middle class upbringing, average intelligence….how did I screw up this fucking badly?? I probably focus on the negative more than is healthy. So do you friend. I appreciate your contributions to this world. I’ve indulged in some dark thoughts the past few days, but reading about your dark thoughts snapped me out of it. Because it made me sad to know that you’re feeling that way. Made me realize people would be sad to know I was feeling that way. It’s so easy to get stuck in your head during normal times…this definitely isn’t normal. Hang in there.
OMG GA has unions ?!?! That seriously shocks me! GA usually fights with AL over who can be the most over the top conservative asshats!
I could be wrong, but Ozark, The Walking Dead… those are such a huge, huge shows — they simply HAVE to be union. So I think that the rules of the industry must trump Georgia laws.
Perhaps, I do focus on the negative too much. But —- being alone as one approaches 50, (suddenly seeing yourself aging real fast) with no real money and only the feeblest of skillsets for some shitty, failed back-up career you absolutely fucking loathe… well, really, there just isn’t all that much positive to focus upon. Funny, I don’t even have the excuse of addition. My life spiraled out all on its own.
NEWSFLASH: Lucidity is not always a good thing.
Thanks though, Helen. I appreciate the kind thoughts.
Got up real early today — no wind. Finished the second coat on the last four dining chairs. The color is a very bright Key Lime. (Charley wanted the green and it matches the back door tying everything together.) All that now remains is the big, oval table. More turquoise. More Mixing and matching.
Oh. The roadrunner returned as I was spraying away. Again — He really seemed both perplexed and intrigued by whatever the heck I was doing. Or maybe he was merely annoyed to find me up so early and thus blocking the path of his daybreak hunt. He cocked his head at me for several minutes of amusing curiosity before darting off behind the creosote bushes.
I wonder… does he strolls through the yard everyday at daybreak? Perhaps I’ll get up again tomorrow super early — just to find out.
I’ve never seen a roadrunner in real life. I’ve spent my whole life running from lucidity so I’ll agree with you there. I have $50,000 worth of defaulted student loans for an education I was never able use. I clean houses now. Actually not a bad gig. Pay is pretty good and people really like you when you make it so they never have to clean a toilet. Who knows when I’ll be able to get back to it. Nobody’s ever expected me to do it for free thank God.
BGM, my husband is union (stunts) and I can confirm both of those shows are union. Netflix has an office in our city and he’s worked on several of their shows, and to my knowledge all of their productions are union.
Mark, I just sent you an email so go look for it. I want to set you up on a virtual blind date with a good friend of mine. If nothing else, you both are quarantined alone and could enjoy talking with each other. You hav a lot in common. Email me and let’s make this happen.
And if our economy is so fucking fantastic why have my retired dad, teenage son, and fully employed husband been doordashing for over a year? Long before the pandemic. Tip your drivers!
