OMG you guys!

Of course, it would take a fucking pandemic for me to post again. And of course, it’s over a year too.

But I’m freaking out a bit. Not that I’m going to get sick or anything, but being cooped up in the apartment for close to 20 days is what I’m freaking out over.

Sundays are the 1 day that I get out for church, lunch and grocery shopping, but I found out tonight that my Pastor and the church Deacons thought it was best not to have services for 2 weeks. We’ll still have service on the 15th, but not on the 22nd or 29th.

And yes, I decided at the last minute to get a tattoo, so I’ll be out of the apartment on the 17th and then the 27th, 28th, and 29th, I’ll be house sitting and looking after my friend’s mother while she goes to Sacramento for her niece’s wedding (I don’t know if those plans have changed)…and KW has a dr appt April 1 and I have a hair appt April 3rd…then it will be April 5th and back to a regular schedule.

Laying it out like that has calmed me down. I won’t completely be stuck in the apartment, and I’ll have to go out anyway for food (if people in my city haven’t lost their damn minds and bought out Wal-Mart and Target!)

Another thing that’s still affecting me is the ending on Hawaii Five-0. It came as a shock to everyone, but Alex made it clear during an interview about the 200th episode, he was giving the show 2 more years and then he was done. Hmm, 2 more years would be season 10, but the show never did anything to let the fans know that the show was ending. No announcement at the start of season 10…in fact they were introducing a new character who would have potentially joined Five-0…and partnered with Danny. HA! Did they really think Scott, who was doing 5-7 fewer episodes a season, was going to continue on without Alex?! *rolls eyes HARD* so the show dropped the ball in letting the fans know so that we could prepare ourselves. And also the writers could have done a hell of a better job in writing/showing that Alex/Steve would be leaving, and I guess that’s what the final 2 episodes this season was going to be, and season 11 would have picked up without Steve…but they didn’t count on Scott and/or the network pulling that out.

Anyway…stuff has happened in the last year. A lot of stuff and none of it remotely important. I’m still tragically single; my brother is in town for work for the next 6 months. We hung out last weekend – the siblings and my sister’s kids – at the bowling alley and then went to dinner. We’re supposed to take sibling pictures to send a collage to my mom for her birthday (April 20) but that’s going to get pushed back to Mother’s Day. I’m hoping we get to see each other a few more times before he goes back to Florida.

There’s a lot of fun stuff with the church for this year. I was more excited about it at the start of the year than I am now. I blame the country shutting down because of COVID-19 and Trump being useless.

I’ve got a grocery list to make up for Sunday and craft supplies to make sure I have for kid’s Sunday School in case there are any at church.

I'm glad you managed to calm yourself knowing you have got some outings planned! And being sensible while Covid19 is about is the only thing to do really.

I didn't know they cancelled/ended H50! But then I'm at least a season behind, and don't really keep up like I used to. I'll probably finish watching it all as it arrives on my shores, but I'm not racing to find it like I used to. It kind of ran it's course ages ago in my mind, and I don't have the same enthusiasm for it that I did.

Enjoy the time with family - I hope you all stay well! *hugs*

I think the reason I got so worked up was because a lot of the big crowd places I planned to go announced they were closing and then my Pastor said church would be closing, that threw me for a BIG loop. Sleeping helped a lot in calming me more.

And I need to just not dwell on the state of the market until I actually get to the market.

If you aren't on social media a lot, you would have missed the news about it.

It really was a sudden thing because all of the crew and cast were shocked when it was announced at the end of February.

I hope everything's not as crazy where you live.

Yeah, it's not quite as crazy because we only have 8 cases and (so far) no deaths, but a lot of people are in self-isolation. The government has just announced anyone arriving from overseas has to self-isolate for 14 days. And while it's quieter out there in the streets, it's not too crazy. The week before last toilet paper and cleaning products and long shelf-life type foods were a bit sparse on the supermarket shelves, and I shopped online last week so I'm not sure what it looked like then, but I'll go out again tonight, so we'll see what it's looking like there now - I like Monday nights as it's pretty quiet anyway, so here's hoping that's a sensible time through all this mess anyway.
