COVID-19 Has Us Hunkered Down for Now, But Far From OUT
This morning, Upworthy.com shared some of the best COVID-19 videos by celebrities: Samuel L. Jackson has a new book called Stay the F*** at Home, which you can see him reading here, and Jack Black has a video in his back yard where he’s looking like a Texan contemplating becoming a nudist or a “flamingo”…
Walkies
Since the pickle ball and wally ball and all other sports courts are off-limits right now, I’ve taken to having “walkies” (without the dogs that the term implies…) It’s nowhere near as much fun. It has to be solo walkies these days to qualify as safe (social distancing) and it has to be where…
I Have a New Client!
I have a new client. She’s presently on a shoestring budget but as I help get her name and virtual coaching services out there that should change. We’ve worked out an agreement because I believe in her and what she’s offering the world as an entertainer and coach. Until I get the go-ahead to…
Resiliency
Isolation Lock Down Day # _____ (Who the Hell Knows)? As a veteran introvert, I didn’t write down on the calendar the date we here in WA State were officially “locked down” and told to stay home and isolated because I was already doing that. I’ve been in isolation for pretty close to…
Have I Survived COVID-19 Already?
The first deaths from COVID-19 here in Washington State were confirmed on February 29th, 2020. (Testing at that time took almost a week to get results; it still does in some cases.) Interestingly enough (in hindsight), I came down with what I called a “killer cold” that had me in bed, severely compromised, and…
Tonight’s Dream Was Off the Rails
OK. I think I’ve been seeing too many medieval memes (knights dressed in armor saying they’re girding their loins to go grocery shopping) and the Doctor McCoy meme that has been altered to read “Corona Virus? What is this–the Dark Ages?” I’ve just awakened from a dream in which I seemed to be spending…
Sleep Is My Refuge These Days
Being stuck at home has put me in touch with both sides of myself: the better angels of my nature and my cruel, analytical, judgmental side. Trust me: I’m not liking my second side at all. And it only manifests when I’m awake. I guess that’s the good news. The bad news…
Dreams about Overcoming Galore Last Night
https://www.facebook.com/berniesanders/videos/3213014118923040/UzpfSTY3NDMzNzkxNDoxMDE1ODI4Mzg1NDgzNzkxNQ/ After watching the hour and a twenty minute corona virus Round Table last night (which you can see above if you want to feel better about things), I went to bed and had a series of dreams about overcomers and overcoming last night. I don’t recall the details now, but I think…
Pondering What to Say Today…
Three weeks ago I was bitching about maybe not having transmasculine top surgery as soon as I anticipated. Not long ago I was bitching about exit polls not matching election results. Both matters still concern me–don’t get me wrong–but today, I’m pondering a whole ‘nuther universe of concern: Who will still be alive…
COVID-19 is Exposing the 5 Biggest Lies of Corporations
With the industrialized world and hundreds of millions of employees hunkered down against the corona virus, it’s easy to spot at least five big lies that corporations have been trying to get us to believe for decades: What we do doesn’t measurably impact the planet in a negative way. Wealthy people are the real (and…
