- I love not working. I’m good at not working. I was made for not working.
- I don’t love not working when the rest of my family is home. I have yet to determine why their presence hinders my ability to do the things I want to get done around the house, but it does.
- Republicans want to kill us all.
- Tik-Tok is a dangerous time suck, and I can feel my brain cells dying every minute I spend on it. But I Can’t. Stop.
- I can only seem to read at night, reading until the wee hours of the morning because I can’t sleep and then waking up late in the morning because I fell asleep so late. It’s a vicious cycle.
- This was a terrible time to lose my job.
- Games on my phone like One Dot and Homescapes are great distractions.
- Lizzo is my jam.
- I don’t miss people (very much).
- I do miss all the sports. What I wouldn’t give for a basketball game or a baseball game right now.
- I am the lone introvert in a family of extroverts.
- My husband drinks A LOT of coffee.
- There IS such a thing as withdrawal symptoms from long-term OTC allergy med usage, and I am currently in that hellscape.
- I’ve already lived through enough historical events in my life – Challenger, end of the Cold War, 9/11, the first Iraq war. I don’t need to add any more to my life experience.
- Is it too soon to start wishing for the end of 2020? Because I’m ready to chalk this year up to bad juju and start fresh.
- That is if we survive the Republicans.
- I will get through my backlog of reviews someday, but I figure there is no hurry since it has already been a month.
- I may not be reading very often, but I AM making excellent reading choices because HOT DAMN have the stories been amazing.
- Thank goodness for robot vacuums.
- I’ve been making my own cleaning products since the beginning of the year, and I swear they are better than manufactured products.
- My husband sent me a link to an article about attachable bidets, and I am seriously considering giving him permission to do it. At least then I wouldn’t have to worry or continue wondering why there is a shortage of toilet paper of all things.
- Every author who has ever written a post-apocalyptic or pandemic novel was wrong. It’s not nearly as exciting and dangerous as they made it seem.
- Well, except for the Republicans. They really do want to kill us all to protect “the economy,” aka their corporate profits.
- All of the inspirational quotes I am seeing are equally inspiring and annoying. So sue me.
- I may be a little bored.
How is everyone faring? Anybody watching good TV right now? I flew through all five seasons of Peaky Blinders last week and need something equally compelling and dark to watch since that is about all I want to do right now.

Amen to surviving the Republicans trying to kill us. Take care of us, stop blaming what’s happened on someone else, and get money out to those who desperately need it, especially since you keep saying how worried you are about the economy.
They only want everyone to leave their homes and work again so that they can make more money. They don’t care about the economy or the people. They care about their personal portfolios.
Your list made me laugh! I agree, it’s not nearly as exciting as the books make it seem. And yes, Republicans don’t give a sh*t if you live or die. (I’m a 🇨🇦 and it boggles my mind). After 3 years of family problems, drama, & health issues, including splitting up with my partner of 12 years, I figured 2020 had to be better… ha ha ha ha ha…
We all thought 2020 was going to be an excellent year, didn’t we? Here’s to 2021!
👍👍😬🤪🥳
The bidet thing. Wouldn’t you need an air dryer too? Before all of this, we bought our normal ginormous pack at Sam’s Club so we were okay but then with all of us home, we started to go through it pretty fast so when my husband went out the other day I had him pick up a small pack. Walmart was restocking and only allowing one pack per household so he lucked out. Now, every time he goes he will get one if he can.
For TV I’ve been watching The Crown. Very good but I have to be in the mood for it so when I am not in the mood for it, then I watch Hoarders because it’s a great distraction to see how other people live. The other day I turned Friends on while my daughter and I had lunch and I could not get into it. I used to like it but it seemed so silly to me.
Do you like zombie movies? If so, watch Train to Busan (Korean). It’s amazingly well done and well acted but dark. Very dark. It’s on Netflix.
The bidets that would attach to the toilet already come with an air dryer. I bought toilet paper right before people started hoarding it so I am okay too, but I’ve moved away from almost all paper products already. As Jim tells me, this is just one more step to becoming even greener than we already are!
I’m all caught up on The Crown. The way you feel about The Crown is how I am with almost all comedies right now. I have to be in the mood for them, and I am most definitely not in the mood to watch any sitcoms. I can’t do Hoarders; it is like a real-life horror show for me. I’ve seen a few reruns of Friends with Holly, and I had to question why I thought it was so great once upon a time.
I’m the extrovert bouncing off the walls and freaking out because I can’t leave the house. Doesn’t help that my oldest is home and home is never very calm or okay when he’s here. Doesn’t help that before two weeks ago, 2020 had actually been the best year I’d had in years. Sigh.
Jim is beginning to lose it. He’s talking about driving to Texas to stay with his mom, driving to Las Vegas to meet with consultants, driving anywhere to get out of the house and car. I’m trying to prevent him from doing any of it, but his mom is encouraging him to visit. It makes me want to slap both of them upside the head and ask if they are stupid or something. I know we will get through this, just like we have with every other historical event we have experienced in our lifetimes, but this is certainly something, isn’t it?
When my husband is home on the weekends, it is really hard to get anything done. Now that Sunnie is doing her schoolwork in her room, I’m able to focus and concentrate a little better (husband is still having to go to work).
I refuse to download Tik Tok for that very reason!! Lol.
I had to delete it from my app. It was too distracting and stupid. Granted, I laughed a lot, which was fun, but I seriously would lose hours to that app. I’m all for distractions, but I detest losing time like that with nothing to show for it. At least with IG and Twitter, I’m learning the news or feel like I’m catching up with friends.
