Hugs, Art...was she tested for Covid? Glad she's home now at least.

In my top ten, the only two I recognized was Friar Laurence (Romeo and Juliet) and Nick Carraway (The Great Gatsby). My top one was Billy Keikeya (Battlestar Galactica) Never seen it. #24 Anna Bates (Downton Abbey) Woo hoo!!! love her!

I didn't know pumpernickel was a real thing.

NP_Complete that is such a lovely offer! Fortunately our attendings have stepped up and are getting us catered lunches almost every day. But I really appreciate the thought

Pts dying from COVID, or because we don’t have enough vents.

This is new and scary and heartbreaking. It almost feels apocalyptic.

Just huge hugs for you Chihiro.

Today is mine and L's one year anniversary! We're going to play battleship

She gave me half the game last time I saw her in-person. We're also going to do some more questions and answers. I wish I could see her in-person. I miss her so so much! But she said when we do get to see each other, we're going to give each other a big hug and play candyland or chutes and ladders.

You're lovely, una. And I suppose like Luna I am willing to believe in such things as the Crumple-Horned Snorkack and the innate goodness of humanity.

Here you go, una: Stark for President

In session today, Dr. T and I accidentally stumbled upon how surprise parties in the days of Covid will work: 50 windows opening up in Zoom with everyone yelling "Surprise!"

SheHulk07 · Apr 03, 2020 at 08:08 PM

I know our district isn't the only one in the country, but we were notified today that the kids won't be returning to school for the rest of the year. I figured that was going to happen, but my kids are disappointed. I feel thankful that they're young and flexible with all the changes, but can't help but feel sad about things they'll miss.

At the end of the day, all staff got an email from the executive director that there’s a new policy about how furloughs would work if there was an emergency furlough. Which, reading between the lines, means there’s going to be a furlough. I’m the newest person in my department and I’m scared. We just moved into a new apartment and everything.

If anyone wants to make a mask but doesn’t sew, the method in the video at the bottom of the page worked okay for me (I tucked the ends in, though).

I purchased HEPA AC air filters to line masks I am making for my family - the Filtrete Advanced Allergen type. I have a few dust masks that I had before all this happened for craft and home improvement projects that create lots of airborne debris. I'm lining those first, then I'm sewing masks made of 600 thread count cotton pillowcases that will be lined with the filter. I'm going to try to encase elastic around the edges that can be tightened or something for a custom fit. I'm trying to find some sort of metal something that I can attach to be used to mold the nose. I think it might work to get some of those office supply prong things. Those are kind of sharp, but I can sew them between the two layers of fabric.

I'm definitely a beginner at sewing but I do have a sewing machine. Hopefully the finished products won't be so hideous that people will be too embarrassed to wear them!

The Show Must Go on - Andrew LLoyd Webber is having one show a week released on youtube - just search for it - The one released yesterday is Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat

Slow here today—I guess everyone is at the mall and restaurants and bars?

stopdog · Apr 04, 2020 at 08:55 PM

I was watching the met hd performance of Macbeth and then Joseph dream coat. And baking bread.
I was too sticky and floury to post.

We're all playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons because it is exactly the happy, outdoorsy island escape we need right now.

atisketatasket · Apr 04, 2020 at 10:39 PM

And here I am trying to resist the lure of the old-school RPG games from my favorite indie developer.

I could really go for killing a few dragons right now.

daisydid · Apr 04, 2020 at 10:56 PM

Possible trigger:

I was texting with the crisis line earlier and at the end of our convo, the grand resource they sent me to look at was a safety plan. Like I haven't done one of those before.

I want to call the local crisis line but I'm afraid of waking H up. I'm not even sure what I need right now.

chihirochild · Apr 05, 2020 at 04:28 AM

Woke up at 3:30am again. Tried to go back to sleep but no luck. Decided to take a bath, which was nice. But I have to get up at 6 to go to work so no chance of going back to sleep now.

Looks like I have tomorrow off, and maybe Tuesday too. That will be good because my face is really starting to hurt from these N95 masks—the marks are still here this morning even though I took the mask off last night at 7:30 or so.
