@OUN: sending good thoughts to your niece.
As for the non-compliant, I’m pretty fed up with them, too. Our condo’s property manager who lives on-site went out with a group of his buddies to sing karaoke in an enclosed bar over the weekend. He announced this to folks at the communal grill area last night like it was nothing. Are you fucking kidding me!?! But, hey, after 4 months of me bitching that the property is doing nothing re: covid precautions, now we’ve got signs up in the elevators suggesting people wear masks. Which, of course, no one does.
And like you, @Helen, I’ve been wondering why I even bother lately. My brother and his family are throwing a birthday party for their kids next week and they’re mad at my (in poor health) mom because she won’t attend since no one there will be wearing a mask. Meanwhile, I canceled her visit with me in FL because people in the condo are flagrantly ignoring the pandemic and I’d be horrified if she got sick from people here. My husbands’ brother and his wife (both of whom work with the public) repeatedly post about going out to eat and socializing with no masks. My in-laws babysit their kids daily. All of them live in current covid hotspots. Yet, they didn’t understand why we wouldn’t want to come hang out for the 4th of July. It’s like banging your head into a brick wall.
The idea of sitting in an office building all day right now makes me shudder. Not happening. We’re still doing remote depositions, mediations and hearings, etc., even though some other attorneys’ offices are now open and fully staffed. So far, we’ve had no pushback, but that may change as courts start to re-open to the public in the next couple of months.
I kind of want to go eat or grab a drink at an outdoor place, but my husband is adamantly against it, so for now, we’re still doing take out when we’re sick of cooking.
So, I just went to order take out from a place we’ve been getting take out from regularly during covid with masks and gloves and social distancing and got told that the restaurant stopped doing take out at 5:00 pm now. After that, you have to come in and order at the bar. And we drove by earlier and the parking lot is packed. No masks. No gloves. No social
distancing. I just…I can’t with this shit… Are you fucking kidding me?

So, my covid antibody test was negative. No idea what I had a few weeks ago, but apparently covid wasn’t it. Good thing Florida is opening right on up for tourists who can bring all their germs from everywhere. Yippee!!
Oh, Jesus H Christ. I just watched the John Oliver sketch featuring the clip of Alex Jones contemplating – and I am not making this up – killing and eating his neighbors. Fucking hell, is this the insanity red state America is watching?
We are so fucked.
“French translators have a really hard time translating anything he says, because he isn’t actually saying anything coherent or with a real meaning.”
LOL!!! I had kind of wondered how it was to try translate someone who just sort of talks in incoherent, vague, often bizarre and usually outrageously incorrect concepts! Like, how can you translate “we should nuke hurricanes!” or “maybe we could inject bleach to defeat COVID!” or “I have the best brain!” without it sounding like you’d obviously messed it up.
@Fyodor: I mean we’re all supposed to have masks at this point!
I’m happy to hear others are feeling better. May you all have turned the corner.
I am relieved that I feel better. I’m super relieved my husband is okay. We are looking into participating in the study @Bethany linked. And I am grateful that I am privileged enough to be able to spew my grievances and they’re mostly inconveniences.
But also, I’m honestly freaking the actual motherfucking fuck out.
I’m used to working from home, so that’s cool. But I’m also used to ending the work day by going to the dog park and chatting with the dog park friends, or running errands and maybe grabbing a drink to break the day up before returning home to make dinner/chat with the neighbors/meet friends, whatever. I miss that. Going to the recycling yard to drop off the recycling from the car is not exactly the same. I miss having lunch or coffee or an after work glass of wine with my dad. Hell, I miss my dad, period. Neither he nor I excel at the phone conversation and texts only go so far. We’ve tried, but, yeah. I also really miss the option of saying, fuck it, let’s go out to dinner tonight. No fuss, no muss.
I’m sick of cleaning my house and washing dishes and rationing cleaning supplies because I can’t get any more for weeks and so everything just feels slightly dirty and gross. I miss the fact that *I* used to not feel dirty and gross. But now, my razor sucks and I can’t find a new one, my roots are growing in, with no relief in sight and I’m out of my night time facial stuff and can’t get any until next week, unless I go to a drug store for some stop gap stuff and, JFC, I don’t want to go to a drugstore out of vanity.
And it’s clear this is going to have to be our new reality for at least another month. Here, anyway. I’m also sad that everything just seemingly keeps getting more bizarre. Like, WTF, there isn’t going to be a post office now? Where the fuck did that plot twist come from? And, Cartman and his Cheezy Poofs are officially the President? Respect My Author-IT- Auh!! Jesus Christ. Seriously? What is going to happen to us now? How did we as a nation end up in the same dysfunctional relationship with a narcissistic asshole that we warned LWs about for years? And why don’t the people who got us into this suffer the repercussions instead of the people who knew better?
Also, I’m fucking angry. I’m angry that people in Wisconsin had to fight for democracy in the rain. And I’m amazed and relieved that they won. And goddamnit, I’m gonna crawl through whatever version of hell the GOP throws up keep us from voting in November. But I’m livid that were all going to have live like this in one form or another until January, at least.
Finally, I’m super pissed that as much as I type the word “fuck” my iPhone keeps on acting like I meant to say “duck.” It’s wasting my ducking goddamned time. Which I have plenty of, but still, I type fuck a lot autocorrect. Get it right.
Glad you’re feeling better, Wendy! I hope Drew stays healthy, too.
Tina, you answered your own question – it doesn’t make sense why someone who
Loves you would act like this because this isn’t love. He doesn’t love you. Why does he stay and say they literal bare minimum to keep you around and tied up in knots? Convenience. He likes having someone to cook, clean, keep things in order and to have sex with when he wants. Also, since you’re doing all that and he’s doing whatever he wants, it’s not worth the trouble to him to get a divorce. SIt’s not because he loves you or values you. He’s shown you that. You are worth more than this. Please, please, please don’t waste another 10 years on this guy. There are so many better men out there.
Glad you made it back to the desert safely, BGM! And fingers crossed your unemployment goes as smoothly as possible.
Also, I feel you on the coca-cola. I got a pint of Americone Dream for the first time in years last week and that shit is amazing!!!
Helen, hang in there. You’ve got this.
ktfran, a margarita delivery kit sounds delightful!
We just hit the Unable to Schedule Grocery Delivery stage here, which surprised me, for some reason. I guess we’ll have to suck it up until Saturday, when I’m at the 14-day mark and can responsibly go to the store. I’m still amazed at how people in my condo just don’t seem to get social distancing. I’m also shocked that none of them are sick. Glad, because most of my neighbors are older, but shocked.
