Bodies should be easily adjustable. I will recommend this feature to the Board of Evolutionary Traits.

My cat is somehow perched on my shoulder while looking out the window and I really want to stand up now. This is a small complaint.

I have always said that organs should be color coded like they are in text book illustrations. It would make things so much easier.

Bigger kid and I were napping but Daisy got hungry so she stood on his chest and snuffled his face, then lay her butt end on my chest so she could properly lick him.
After the picture was taken Sprocket lay on my chest so both of my arms were pinned, and licked my face obsessively.
I’m up now.

I am just very existentially tired right now. I would kind of like to scream and cry but that is not available to me in a 500 sq ft apartment in the middle of the rona.

Our landlord said the building’s roof work is going to drag on longer than we thought and it’s now starting on a day that storms are forecast… how’s that gonna work? I can’t take more than a couple days off work right now so I guess I will be working amid loud noise.

Still may be worth having a look up it with a flashlight to rule out holes.
Except I was in the room with the fireplace when I first heard the bird, elsewhere in the house. Then it flew in to the room from the direction of the kitchen/back door. I thought maybe the range vent, but that didn’t seem to be it.

I feel like every day I complain about my bed situation, but seriously. I hate my new bed. I’ve tried a topper, and that was even worse. Every day I wake up and my back feels like it’s been crushed all night. I am annoyed with myself for buying a non-returnable bed, and now I have to go down the black hole of what bed will work for my back problems, and most likely will end up having to buy something way more expensive than I was hoping for. Then there is the guilt of the waste of having this brand new bed that I hate, and likely can’t sell because are people buying used beds during the 'Rona?

My sister in law really liked a tempurpedic mattress, I think its the foam kind? I think it’s pretty soft though. I have one of the air ones that you adjust to softer and firmer, and I like it. They have lots of models that vary in cost and they do have sales. They did 2 year interest free financing when I bought which was helpful.
ETA I bet the people who aren’t wearing masks are still buying things like used beds.

Tempurpedic is what I’ve been looking it. It makes me want to cry to think about financing a mattress, but like…my pain is preventing me from living life, so I can’t think of anything more important that I could be spending money on. I generally have hated memory foam in the past, but I also think a $400 memory foam bed, vs a $2800 tempurpedic foam bed are probably different…but who knows!

Good sleep is so important! I spent way more on my mattress than I wanted to, thus the financing lol. But I’m sleeping better so it was worth it. I have heard that tempurpedic can be warm because it’s foam though, so maybe research that because of where you live?

Oh, the roof saga continues! It was going to start a week from today so my landlord was going to help me move all of the plants (some of which are very large) out of the line of fire.
Turns out they need to do gutter work too and that could happen as early as Monday so the yard needs to be emptied of plants tomorrow. My landlords are out of town so Boyfriend and I have to do this ourselves. We are moving them to the first floor deck so no one lives there, so the tomatoes will get some sun but not enough.
I have no idea how we’re going to move the raspberries, which are laden with unripe fruit. I have them attached to multiple supports since the vines were so long. The volunteers that seeded into the ground cannot, of course, be moved so I guess those are just goners, and those are full of fruit too.

We got our printer second hand from someone we know who said it’s a great printer, they had just replaced it with something else for their work. Our printer is now a nonfuctioning printer even with basic troubleshooting. I think we’re doomed to never have a functioning printer, which wasn’t as big of a deal four months ago. Harrumph.

My mom called Kaiser and they told her my brother and his family don’t even need to be tested for COVID unless his brother-in-law‘s results come back positive next week, let alone me and my parents, who are another degree of separation away from the potential case. She thinks I should just go ahead and keep working, with a mask and the usual precautions.
I need the money, obviously. I’ve already taken most of the week off dealing with legal and medical things. For most of the pandemic I’ve worked straight through. I’ve had to learn to push the risk to the back of my mind and do it anyway, which is uncomfortable but I didn’t really have a choice unless I wanted to lose my home at some point, and my brain could do it because the risk was fuzzy. I couldn’t know exactly where it was or was not coming from.
Now that I know the actual possible path of transmission, however remote the odds, it feels negligent. I’m just sitting here feeling like whatever I do will be wrong.

It’s the solstice, but it’s rainy. How am I supposed to celebrate the beginning of summer and longest day of the year with no sunshine??

It’s the solstice, and my throat and ears hurt and I’m beginning to drag a bit. Allergies or Rona? Who the hell knows. If it’s the Ronas, the only possible way I could’ve caught it is from one of the cats.
