Getting your vaccine in return for risky behavior

Things that we forget: opening the windows during cold weather will also cool off your house. I’m here in short sleeves, feeling a bit of an edge to the air in the room. Checked my weather station data feed, which also includes the “interior temperature”, and we’re down almost two degrees in ten minutes. Guess the plan for the rest of the evening will involve a) a sweater and b) closing those same windows.

Flawed border strategy

How self-sufficient am I? Well, I’m making bread before bed. A quick translation: I filled the bread machine, and if my timing is accurate, I’ll have things cleaned and stowed before sleeping. It’s not that I prefer my robot to food from the market. More that I’m unwilling to walk that far for some additional carbohydrates.

Hamilton really is all that

Guess I don’t need to crash the frontier, on my way to Broadway. We’re test driving the Disney channel, and this afternoon my sonic space belongs to Hamilton. Really. I don’t have any stage skills, so the ability to sing hundred of pages of lyrical content is something I can only witness. Lin-Manuel is a GOD!

Sudoku lifestyle

My ongoing game of lifesize Sudoku made progress, today. The basement, for a LONG time, has been under construction. Unlike a new, empty home, we live here 24/7/365. And, in keeping with one of those laws of thermodynamics (I’m guessing here), stuff keeps coming in. Good stuff, but the floor space seems to shrink in consequence. Anyhow…

The long masked winter

Lockdown hasn’t been wonderful for those involved in live music. Besides putting a dent in the money tube, it goes against everything a performer wants out of life. Audience, applause, etc. However, some are reaching out to the world, and if you know where to look, there are still concerts available.

Something about the “circuit breaker”

Keep on singing the “Don’t worry, be happy” song. It won’t fix anything, but you will be distracted.

In the absence of a cure, a vaccine will suffice

The science is inexact, but viral transmission leaves many of us feeling like we’re in harm’s way. Today, the unscheduled press conference by our chief health officer carried some unsettling news. Three new cases, in the capital, associated with a small restaurant frequented by local high school students. You see, we had already learned about a single student who had spent some quality time, with friends. In local restaurants. Before testing positive and undertaking the required self-quarantine.

In the absence of a plan

According to the calendar, we still have three weeks to reset. Put life back to normal. My hunch is that it will not happen.

A personal Plan B

After all this time, you would think that I’d have a Plan B. After all, I drop drops, twice a day, every day. And when I ran out, before the weekend, I didn’t panic. I mean, we have pharmacies. Just down the way. Now, no emergency here. I got more drops, today. Not the quantity I had hoped, because I have been upgraded to a “senior plan”, which prohibits stockpiling. But I have drops, sufficient for the next couple of months. It’s just that I have to accept one simple fact. I need my meds.
