It hasn't been a swell day for me because it's raining and cold. When I can't get outside to play in the dirt I sit on my dead center and ruminate. Not good at all.
I did feel good for about 10 minutes while I vacuumed. Should have dusted, too, so I could feel good for 15 minutes.
DGD invited herself and BF to supper because I'm making meatball sandwiches, which means I eat alone in the Hovel again. The only way I can think of to eliminate the Sunday dinner visits is to plan something that DGD doesn't like. We're having stuffed peppers one night this week. If I'd planned those for tonight, it's a lead pipe cinch that she wouldn't be here.
This is a horsesh!t way to spend my waning days.

I'm just getting nothing creative done still. I can work out, clean, keep up bills and paperwork, garden... even read a little and listen to audiobooks... but when it comes to developing resources I can't even seem to churn out ones that should be cookie cutter, let alone something requiring design, and don't even think about writing. Sigh.

FYI: When emotions are running high & if you don't want to be reduced to ugly crying, don't watch Steel Magnolias. I shoulda picked a different movie to watch.

Also do not listen to Tanya Tucker's Bring My Flowers Now. That was ugly. I do see why she won all the Grammys for that album. Hoping for a better week this week. Weather forecast looks better and I cleaned up half the master bedroom so it can be my workout space.

I re-watched Infinity Wars/Endgame last week and I should have thought that 50 percent of the planet just blowing away in the breeze would not be a good space to be in...

So pray tell, why did DGD/BF need to come over for meatball subs? They split one. Yup. Split it. That and a salad was supper. Mind you, these sandwiches aren't big. The sub rolls are about 6" long. I think they just got tired of hanging out at home and aren't holding up too well themselves.

Everyone is getting bored and impatient, even among the very compliant. No one they know has gotten sick, so they are a little more likely to socialize with family or friends in very small groups.

And I haven’t. Even when 2 of my golf buddies still smoke around me and other smokers within proximity. If you want to quit you can just never have another puff. I do occasionally smoke a toke or 2 of something else however.🤪 does not make me crave the nicotine.

I called my DD. I could hear the stress in her voice because her dog has a UTI and has been panting. She thinks it's either anxiety or heart trouble. Her BFF was there with her. The BFF will be moving into to apartment downstairs the first of July. I called a great grandson last night. He's okay. I'll keep working my way through the family this week. Part of the message at church this morning. This woman had a parakeet. Chirpy. She decided to clean the birds cage with the vacuum cleaner. All was going well then the phone rang and she turned to pick it up. Thwomp, the parakeet Chirpy was sucked into the vacuum cleaner. Frantic she cut open the bag. The bird was fine but it lost the brightness in it's eyes. Chirpy looked around more for scary things, not trusting. It did not sing as much.

I do occasionally smoke a toke or 2 of something else however.🤪 does not make me crave the nicotine. My hubby & my kiddo both smoke, so there are smokers in the house with me. But both of them are NOT smoking around me. They keep it downstairs in the basement & if I go downstairs, they will put them out when they see me coming.
I also smoke a toke often, daily, all the time, I'm stoned now. I was very worried once I got over the flu (the entire reason I stopped was because of how sick I got with the flu in February) & started toking again that I was gonna want a cigarette. Luckily it didn't trigger that craving. To be honest, the times I want one the most is when I'm in the car. I am smoking more of the other now & whenever I say I'm wanting a cigarette, hubby tells me to just roll myself another J instead. LOL I do fiddle with & hold onto my THC vape pen to occupy that "holding a cigarette" need/habit.

It doesn't feel like a good day so far even though the sun has come out. There are days that just don't start out right, usually the ones when it's raining and I have to drink my coffee in the kitchen. I'm trying to talk myself into going out and touring the garden. It's still way too wet to do anything out there, and it's cold besides.

swamp It's 60. Since leaving the tundra, I've acclimated to our southern warm temps, but 60 isn't warm unless it's 60 in January. I did take a turn around the garden, sprayed the cannas because the leaf rollers are already trying to get started, pulled a few weeds, picked up some twigs that blew on the lawn, sat and thought about what to get started on tomorrow. Because a job well thought over is half done. A little exposure to the sun has made me feel better. Not quite hopeful, but better.

I'm in Michigan, and I still can't deal with the cold. I just bumped the thermostat up to 71. I do have a dry cough, too, but I doubt it's the 'rona. I have pretty bad allergies that are well controlled most of the time, but spring has finally sprung here. But still, I worry because that's what I do.

I'm a work transplant from New England to southwest Tennessee 26 years ago. After all this time I am still not used to the summers here. Too hot for too long.

Pretty good for me....+ I received my stimulus check this afternoon. My handyman came and did everything I asked. Did some sewing on a new quilt, even made my bed and I had gotten very lax with that, even since that was my goal for the year, was to make the bed everyday.
Off to the bank to deposit the check.

The nitwit has no idea of anything but has a large concentration of fomenting hate and stupidity talent. Not worth your time and/or peace of mind.

I have not bothered watching a single one. I figure I have lost nothing by that choice.

Doing? Not well. Our governor just announced a list as long as my arm of places that are open as of Friday (all while keeping the shelter in place order until April 30). There is no hope in Georgia. Open up just about everything while we have number going up and down like a yo-yo, no steady down numbers for 14 days, just a whim of our idiot governor because it's "the will of the people and because we are well prepared when the numbers go up." He will have as much blood on his hands as trump, but he'll be on trump's nice list.
Can't take it. Gonna watch murder shows instead so I'll know how to escape when the bad guys come for me. Or zombies.
