Happy First Day of Spring. It’s beautiful outside bright blue skies, puffy clouds, and cold!
Puffy clouds went away and now cloudy.
Woke up at 8am. Kevin had my phone and had gone to Starbucks. After trying to fall back to sleep, I went out and grabbed my phone. At 8:30 after looking at my phone I went out and ate my cheese Danish. I then went and read my emails. I decided to write yesterday’s entry and post to my blog. Jager has been sleeping in his bed next to my desk. Kevin is up working at the other house. And of course, Manny {my Gardner} is here {it’s a comforting sound here the lawn mower and blower} so far just another Friday morning. I’ve been sitting at my desk for about an hour and a half now. Time to get up, wash my face and brush my teeth!
Hoping to craft today. I think it’s gonna be a pretty lazy day with lots of scrapbooking ahead.
Happy Mail just came. I ordered some resin molds off amazon and they just arrived. Also ordered some HTV from Expressions Vinyl and it arrived too!
One of my biggest gripes right now is the social shaming. And I really hate the fact that Gavin Newsome used it in his press conference last night. He replied to a question about how they were gonna enforce the “safer at home” policy. He replied with that he wasn’t too worried about it cause there was enough social shaming going on. Excuse me? That what we are going to rely on? Isn’t that bullying? Any ways in the past few days I have unfollowed/unfriended several people for social shaming. You know what, you do you, I’ll do me. Yes, I was un happy with the family at Giamelas last night. I didn’t think they should have the whole family out. I get it, you need out of the house, I do too.
But both parents did not need to go in with all the kids.
1 parent could have stayed in the car with the kids. Just my opinion. Also, I get it some of us our are more susceptible to the virus. I get it that we could be carriers.
Yes, I am worried about my dad. He will be 81 in May. Hell, I am worried about Kevin, he has copd.
I went to Ikea yesterday. I had washed my hands before I left the house. I stood 6 feet away from people. I tried not to touch my face. I tried not to touch any surfaces. Once I loaded my car, I wiped my hands and car down with wipes. Maybe it’s not enough, maybe it is. And trust me, just because people are Socially Shaming” people, I don’t feel shammed. I don’t feel guilty.
I’m just annoyed!
I am not out just casually shopping. I am picking up supplies. I am in the middle of a remodel. The couple I have moving in are due with twins in April. I am doing my best for them! I was at IKEA to pick up pieces to finish the Kitchen, and to get them a dresser/changing table. When I went to Target the day before, I bought diapers and wipes.
I bought these things, I went out, because she cannot.
Ok sorry about that rant. I don’t normally like to share my feelings with the public. I don’t need or have too explain myself to anyone. But sometimes you just need to get it off your chest and since I know no one actually reads this blog, it should be my safe space on the internet.
Anyways, one of the things that Kevin and I both do is take our temperature a few times a day. Not sure if this is necessary or even helpful. Just thinking if it shows we have a temp. it might be a heads up of symptoms. SO far neither of us have even reached 98.6! We both are like 97.5 or 96.7 ha-ha not sure what that’s all about, but I know I have always been that way!
Oh, and another one of my gripes, which also has to do with the last one.
People telling you to support local. I’m not upset about that. I do support local. I do support small. But you’ve got people telling you this, while you have people shaming you for going out. Like seriously people make up your freaking minds! Do you want me to support local, or do you want me to stay in. We can’t have it both ways. Cause one way or another, buy supporting local or small, someone is going outside!
I wanted to get out of the house, and just go for a drive. Every once in a while, Kevin has this route around the city that he likes to take. Well we have only done like 2 other times. We get on the 210W to the 118W to the 405S to the 10E to the 110N.Thats the long way down town. We left the house around 8pm. It’s Friday night! It took us less than 30 min to downtown. This was a Friday night. This totally would have taken like 2+ hrs. if it was a regular night. There is no way in hell we would ever go that way. Anyways we got off at temple St. {I think} downtown, and drove down town for a bit. Just checking out the weirdness of no one. The staples center should have been packed. There should have been so much traffic, but nope! Instead of taking the freeway home, we took Alvarado St. to the 2. This was the only place in LA that was swarming with people. I couldn’t believe all the homeless and street millers. I mean I can, I see it every day, but there was full on tent villages on the side walk, all around Mc Arthur park. I can see the virus getting a hold of this area and just wiping it out!
We drove past St Vincent’s hospital, and it looked abandon. The next day on the news I heard they were reopening it cause of the pandemic.
We got home around 10pm, watched some TV and to sleep we went.
