vanillafluffy Tomorrow, lucky me, I get to leave the house. I've got an ophthalmology appointment and if I cancel, the earliest I'll be able to get in is June. My right eye has too many issues for me to play games like that--the last time I was in, Dr. A mentioned the possibility of laser surgery if things got worse...so I need to know how things stand. That way, if things are worse--I know they're not great--I can schedule surgery as soon as things get back to normal...not wait three months to see what's happening.
I've already got the senior bus lined up, I figure I'll bring hand sanitizer with me, keep my distance, and maybe wear the face-shield I improvised out of interfacing. (This is going to be the first time I've been out of the house in almost three weeks, so I'm taking every precaution.)
It's a funny thing, I don't have one iota more time than I do during "normal" times, but somehow, I feel like I'm getting more done. Things are getting shifted, sortied, rearranged...as a result, some things are neater, others less so. I haven't run out of anything major yet (although I can think of a few things I wish I had), and an inventory of my pantry shows I'm decently stocked for a while yet, although I'm sure I'll be heartily OVER tuna fish and green beans ere long and I'm about ready to start baking my own bread.
I've had one scare--GK is the only person I've come into contact with in the last few weeks...she's had a cough she insists are allergies. Imagine my horror when, on Saturday she texts me that she's going for The Test. I was up all night biting my nails over that one, only to have her sheepishly confess that she'd missed her dose of antihistamines and it really WAS allergies. I'm still a little unsettled, because her younger son is home from school--for the rest of the term, oh joy--and he flew back home from California. He's been back for a week now...hopefully, he isn't incubating Covid-19, but we won't know for sure for another week.
Anyway, GK delivered season one of <I>Baa Baa Black Sheep</I>--I binged the whole first disc in one sitting--I couldn't help but think, after she texted me, "What if she's infected? What if the plastic wrap was carrying it?" Somehow, it seemed all too appropriate--Death By Fandom.
Love to all. I hope you're well.
