my mask days continue...

My mask days coninue.
Supermarket shopping this morning I wore one + all Dromana IGA salespeople masked up but only about 75% of shoppers masked...
I also wear a mask at petrol stations...
I don't see a change in my habit any time soon...
My age is my underlying condition...

greenie so no jab?....

I know of a delightful someone who is very much a greenie. It's a no meat, no processed food+no Gladwrap household. Somehow, having the jab, does not compute with her greenie plan for/view of life. I cannot quite see the connection. She's teaching remotely for now, but then what?

Covid normal is just beginning...

PASSING THOUGHT: The excitement of the day...for Victorians anyways...is cooling down for me...Now I think about it, I still will avoid shopping malls, keep to small shopping areas and just walk the less travelled byways...I daren't react too quickly... It's still Covid normal...

weekend...after a week of RM prep...

Your time spent sounds so much better than mine...I've been cleaning out the cat litter box and cleaning the driveway and carport of yet more leaves...Thought it would all take about 20 min...Here it is after 10am and began before 9:00am... At least a couple of weekend tasks done

I definitely agree with Rob...2 lockdowns nows in Melbourne
+ I feel closer and closer to appreciating the little things around me
+ my imagination is going wild...
'dragonflies' indeed...

Maybe tomorrow I morning walk...Today is all about domestic organisation
for the first week of remote learning next week...
+ some reading (beginning Sarum - Edward Rutherfurd - 1344 pages) for relief...maybe escape...
(the latter is my 'project' to balance projected remote learning stresses)

Tomorrow polish off strands of work for remote learning too...
Simply could not face doing any more yesterday...Felt gutted...

2020 the worst year?

This was a Twitter question...

Interestingly, people mainly answered NO...citing personal experiences in previous years being worse...

No, that was 2013, the year I attempted suicide, and narrowly survived.

Nope, not even close. My teenage years of being bullied everyday, the constant isolation, and not knowing why. Those were far worse then 2020.

— Peter James Martin (@Brennan_and_Riz) June 28, 2020

Personally,no. Collectively, yes. My own suffering I can handle..watching friends and family suffer at the same time is the worst.

Absolutely not! Taking the pressure off - no meetings - time to rest and ponder on what lm doing and where lm going in life has been good - for me personally - but lm well aware that’s not everyone’s story.

Actually, no. We’ve spent a lot of quality time together as a family that we wouldn’t have been able to before covid.

Second only to the year my son was killed. But the years tRump’s been in office give me that same sick feeling in the pit of my stomach like I have over my son. It’s like I’m watching my country die. It’s a sickening feeling. #TrumpTreason

No, 2017 was. My ex-fiance broke off our engagement the day before my birthday over snapchat then ghosted me. Turns out she was cheating and using me for money.

2020 sucks bad, but it wasn't soul crushing like 2017 was for me. I'll survive.

toilet paper again...

*I cannot believe I am reading this. Deep Space Program, a design and product studio in Las Vegas, created TP Finder, a crowd-sourced platform where shoppers can report where they see toilet paper in stock and where they don’t.

Over the last several days, the panic buying of toilet paper has started again...as fears of a 2nd wave of covid-19 rise in Victoria. But this ne3ws is current in the U.S. They are still embroiled in a rising 1st wave.
