Trying not to worry that we are now starting to see deaths from the Coronavirus.

Watching some furry YouTube videos.

Checking to see if anymore Rhode Islanders perished from the Coronavirus. We are still at 4 but Trump signed off on a Coronavirus disaster declaration. I guess that means we get access to addition federal funding now.

Finishing up that special I've been working on.

Is the special that you have just been working on and finished the one you just posted?

Had to rush Sophie to the vet this afternoon. Interesting experience under the new restrictions. They couldn't admit me unless I had an appointment, although that could be accomplished by calling them from the clinic parking lot. I could not come in with the dog ... which, since she is an elder dog with separation anxieties, was awkward. She slipped in with her Lion squeaky toy these folks gave her on her last visit, much to my embarrassment. Everyone was in masks, gloves, and one person in full gear on stand-by. They sanitized the walk-in area every twenty minutes. Had to pay by phoning in credit card, again from the parking lot, and then a very relieved Sophie was handed off with her documents in a small manila envelop.

Another coronavirus experience - but Sophie emerged intact with her Lion squeaky toy washed and sanitized. Very kind and professional as always, but sad and strange at the same time.
Stay safe, gang.

If that does have to be what we end up doing for the future of the Earth, we might as well get used to it I guess.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Thu Apr 02, 2020 8:25 am

Hanging home and tending our three-footed patient. Sophie's still kinda lethargic this morning, but it's that sort of morning anyhow.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Apr 02, 2020 1:53 pm

Looking for a box to go through my drawers to decide which clothes I want to take when we move.

Lots of homework, lots of VR.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Apr 02, 2020 10:24 pm

Hoping that my soap isn't once again pre-empted after it starts. Seriously Raimondo, pre-empt it BEFORE the first few scenes are shown.

JamesTCat · Post by **JamesTCat** » Thu Apr 02, 2020 11:32 pm

Working on the next episode of my fanfiction. I think a 7 Ranger team with 1 Lone Ranger separate would be enough to follow for this decade.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Fri Apr 03, 2020 12:32 pm

A little home sanitizing and some chili simmering....

Post by **SeanWolf** » Fri Apr 03, 2020 12:33 pm

Watching 'Super Password' and working on a review for YouTube (The Cove Radio is shutting down on April 30th so I'm moving my reviews to YouTube...)

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Apr 03, 2020 4:36 pm

If that is the case you must give us a link to your YouTube channel in case we are interested.

Post by **SeanWolf** » Fri Apr 03, 2020 4:56 pm

I will once I upload the first episode

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Apr 03, 2020 11:19 pm

I'm sure we are all gonna look forward to it.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Sat Apr 04, 2020 9:35 am

Dunno. Feeling uninspired and mellow this morning.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Apr 04, 2020 5:01 pm

Spent 45 minutes today trying to get my cat off the roof since my father left the window open and she jumped out.

So, last night I thought I spilled a few splotches of water on my table and didn't feel like dealing with them. This morning I was surprised to find they hadn't evaporated yet... Turns out there was a fair amount of juice from my pickled plums mixed in there, and now that the water has mostly evaporated, I'm left with a sticky mess.

Edit: So that's what I'm doing today

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Apr 05, 2020 12:21 am

So you are trying to give the table a very thorough scrub then to get it not to be sticky?

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Sun Apr 05, 2020 2:21 pm

We're making face masks.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Apr 05, 2020 3:03 pm

God knows we should probably figure out how to make them.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Mon Apr 06, 2020 9:50 am

Yeah, some day yard sales will have laundry baskets full of them. That'll mark a real passage in this mess.

Oh, and I wouldn`t buy any of them.

Vertigo Fox · Post by **Vertigo Fox** » Mon Apr 06, 2020 10:56 am

If you've got spares don't sit on them or try to sell them later. Donate them to a hospital. Seriously.
Average regular people are buying them up so fast that the healthcare systems don't have enough.

And trust me, it doesn't matter where you are or what healthcare system that is, because regular people are still regular people.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Apr 06, 2020 12:02 pm

Right now I'm trying to function on only 2 and a half hours of sleep since I was unable to sleep last night.

Post by **SeanWolf** » Mon Apr 06, 2020 12:03 pm

Getting footage for my review (recording with a camcorder didn't work out but, thankfully, Xbox One has a built-in capture function).

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Apr 06, 2020 9:19 pm

Hoping that I will be able to sleep better tonight.

JamesTCat · Post by **JamesTCat** » Tue Apr 07, 2020 7:50 am

Working on my fanfiction. Still have to think up the various moves the Ballinger Z monster will have.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Apr 07, 2020 2:35 pm

Figuring out what to make for dinner tonight.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Tue Apr 07, 2020 6:55 pm

I made okra, curry, and couscous. It's hard to get okra up here.

I painted a ceramic plate. There's a ceramic painting place in town that's selling do-it-at-home kits and my sister brought one for our family. It's been a long time since I've last painted but I'm really happy with what I made.

I'm going to bed. I will work on the next episode tomorrow.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Wed Apr 08, 2020 2:21 pm

Weekly Post Office run and a little home maintenance. The basics are big deals some days.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Apr 08, 2020 4:56 pm

About to force myself to eat since I have no appetite and I need to eat. Besides, my mother made chicken and raviolis.

Enjoy!

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Apr 08, 2020 11:20 pm

Couldn't enjoy it because I only ate 3 raviolis. I'm hoping I can find a way to get my appetite back.

Vertigo Fox · Post by **Vertigo Fox** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 3:23 pm

I've no real idea what to tell you...
...well, except what I might do for a pet who's not eating. Leave something you know they like in a space where they'll come across it often, and let that slowly tempt them. Even better if it's something that smells really tasty. But above all, be patient and let them take their time for as long as it takes until they can't resist it anymore.
Who knows, maybe it works on humans too? I've no idea.
