So my grey cells are going out my ears

    I am an introvert so this physical distancing stuff ought to be second nature for me. The only time I go out is for groceries or to the Subway/Freshii/etc... and for a occasional walk. I worked from home the week before Spring Break; which went okay. Then I was off for Spring Break and that was fine. This week looks like it's going to be another work-from-home deal. I know it's better to stay home and stay healthy rather than risk going too much in public and possibly getting sick, but man o man. My brains are going out my ears.

     Yesterday I wrote about how much I would love to just spend a couple of hours in my library this week. I'd be alone and I'd have more to do. That is how desperate I am for a change of scenery. And this whole corona-saga isn't even a month long. Well, not where my school division is concerned. It's not boredom that I'm complaining about - it's a need for a different place to see. I'm in library withdrawal because my public is still closed. And who is to say when it will be open again. Is this pity? Definitely. Of course there's illness and plenty of desperation out in the world and my problems are definitely less than amoebas. Still, this is my blog and I am going to complain here if I wish.

     I'm typing out one of my old journals and reading about the Charleswood Library - my public, as it were. Naturally, I find myself yearning to go there. Augh. Anyway, with China and possibly Italy reporting fewer cases, things might start looking hopeful for Canada. Maybe somebody can open up the schools for a couple of weeks to I can go and work there for a bit. Maybe the the WPL will open up again. Geez, it hasn't even been a month but it feels like so much longer.

     Yeah, so that's what's going on with me. Easter's coming but it's doubtful that I'll be going anywhere to celebrate. Maybe the family will come together on Skype or whatever to have a meal. That might be nice.


BYE. 😷

I am getting a message

       Google wants me to try the new Blogger. 😱 It's probably not going to wreck my life or my blog but, to paraphrase old Montresor (Cask of Amontillado) "I have my doubts." Being a dipsophobe (yeah, apparently this is a thing) I should stay away from Amontillado or any sort of wine as it is. I don't think I have a fear of drinking alcohol - more like I've done too much research on what alcohol does to the body to ever want to touch the stuff EVER. Also I hate the taste. Anyway, perhaps I'll give the shiny, smexy new Blogger a go another time. If I can still mess with this blog under the new system, sure why not? But if not, please yerself. I'll stick with the old model as long as I can.

      Coronavirus continues to plod across Canada and run like Usain Bolt across our neighbours to the immediate south. It's only a matter of time before North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin become ripe for the taking. 😎 Yes, this is just a joke. Now for a public service announcement. For the love of family, community, health, and whatever gods you may or may not worship - WASH YER HANDS and SNEEZE AND COUGH IN A TISSUE OR YER SLEEVE! PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING AND BE SAFE!

      Today would have been my Grandma's 93rd birthday. Damned cancer. This month it will be 15 years since she passed on. The realization hit me the other day. Is this because I'm 40 now and milestones continue to gain weight around my neck? If I remember to, I think I'll post the entry from that sad day in 2005. The weather forecast speaks of a Colorado low coming for a visit and bringing a gigaton of snow with it. At least things will look pretty for a while. The roads will also look pretty (gruesome) for a while as well.

     And now, for something completely expected.
