Our library system sent out an email when they announced their closing a little over a week ago (I think - time passes strangely these days), and said that they would be expanding their digital services. They've increased monthly Hoopla credits to 15, and today I dug in and discovered that Hoopla has about half of the stuff on my Comixology wishlist. Yay!
My Mom in Florida is finally taking things seriously. She's still working (seafood shop, all carry-out) but they're taking extensive precautions and utilizing PPE. Not ideal but I can't really tell her what to do, and she's stopped all other outings except essential shopping.
I finally canceled my fight and van ride reservations for my planned trip to see her for her birthday at the end of next month. I knew well over a week ago that the trip wasn't going to happen but I guess a part of me wanted to hang on to some optimism about it a bit longer so I waited until the other day to actually cancel.
On the surface, my day to day life doesn't look much different, but underneath, there's a whole new level of anxiety and uncertainty.
On the upside, I'm finding humor in things I never paid much attention to before. There's a Geico commercial with a guy getting fitted for a suit who is pretending to be on a motorcycle and singing "Wild Thing". For some reason, it just tickles me so much that I nearly fall out of my chair laughing when it comes on.
