First of Halloween

Wed, 01 Sep 2021 22:13:22 GMT

Last year I started celebrating Halloween on September first, because frankly the very least that 2020 owed us was extra Halloween. And frankly, this year hasn't been a great improvement.

So, UP THE DECORATIONS GO! Purely inside in my own space; sadly trick or treating is probably still a bad idea so I don't want to give neighbourhood kids false hope of finding candy here. But within my own walls, up with the tissue paper ghosties and origami pumpklns and reproduced vintage Victorian Halloween cards! Out comes my beloved Haunted House decorative popcorn tin!

It is now AUTUMN let's witch it up in here.

Meeting my imaginary fictional boyfriend in the rain

Fri, 08 May 2020 00:15:44 GMT

Went out for a walk in the drippy drenching rain! Feeling moderately accomplished for getting daily exercise despite adversity and the opposition of heaven and earth and very cranky Canada Geese.

Also feeling wet. Very very wet.

I COULD have skipped today or swapped in some kind of nice dry indoor exercise routine, but listen. Listen. I play Zombies, Run! okay? It's an exercise app that's basically a step tracker crossed with an audiodrama. A really GOOD audiodrama. And during the pandemic isolation, going for a walk and having all my imaginary friends in my ears talking to me about the mission is the CLOSEST THING I HAVE TO A REGULAR SOCIAL OUTING.

I NEED MY DAILY DOSE OF SAM YAO, DAMMIT.

Begone, Dust Bunny

I appear to be doing the quarantine stages slightly out of order, as I have finally hit the frenzied cleaning stage just today. From what I've heard most people hit that stage fairly early on. It's one of the Stages of Disaster Induced Stir Crazy. Like the stages of grief, and probably similar. It might be Denial, or Bargaining. You can't do anything about the world outside but BY GOLLY you can impose some kind of order on your floors. Is it possible to clean away the coronavirus? Nope! Not enough hand sanitizer in creation! But can you dust that shelf? HECK YEAH.

Well, better late than never, I guess. If we're all gonna be trapped in place by a plague riddled dystopia by golly we all deserve to get the benefits of at least one solid day of neurotic cleaning.

I vacuumed the HECK out of that carpet.

Take that, plaguepocalypse.
