* I have often and emphaically said that the only things I want back from the '80's are things like asymetrical hair cuts and guitars in pop songs.

Hearing over and over about people testing positive and seeing all the obits for ueer activists, creatives, and elders dying, it just... So few of ourelderssurvived that plague and now weare losing so many of the survivors in this one, while an indifferent republican sits in the white house actively hampering efforts to prevent death on a large scale.

I do not want the '80's back. This is so much worse, but it is nightmarishly familiar.

* Friday: I ordered Special Girl food today. I was a touch apprehensive because a correspondent has reported kibble shortages at chewy, but this was the first day the right money was in the right place to do it. They weren't out, but it was up to a ten day delivery day because they are not surprisingly swamped. We're fine. We wouldn't have been if a benefactor hadn't gotten us a couple of extra flats, but we can handle a ten day for once without risking baby girl's health.

I went out at dawn today as a relative had sent a small check and really i needed gas. My suspicion that the price would be dramatically lower was correct and I used what was left on the card after the special girl food order. It was about a dollar and a quarter cheaper than it was last I was at the cheapy. I I'd had an extra ten, I probably could have filled it up.

Don't worry, I wore gloves and washed as soon as I got home.

The smaller cherry trees are all in bloom, though the taller ones are only at the bud stage. Out in the world, a handful of teary waking trees have leaves, though most of the green is ever instead of deciduous and most of the branches are still bare. It is full Spring here by day, but we are far enough North that it is still cold at night. Last night though, was noticeably less so and it really only got properly cold, cold an hour or two before dawn.

The streets were so empty, I didn't even see the usual rough sleepers in doorways. This town only has one shitty cult like men's shelter. I wonder where the rest of them are and if they are safe.

I saw no pedestrians at all, just a few other cars, one motorcycle, and a couple grocery delivery trucks. The shelter in place is holding. I took a chance and stopped at the coop to squint at their starts. Them being closed, I figured it was safe. I wore a mask and touched nothing. They have lots of lettuce, but it must be too early for the other things I'm interested in, so no point in sending a Millennial just yet.

This is the first time I've been further than the path in front of my door about a month. I had only gone that far a couple of days ago at dawn so I could see the cherry trees before anyone else was up.

Last night I dug the fans out of the back of my closet. Normally, this is a very minor nuisance, but normally I don't have a stack of boxes full of altar materials in front of it, nor have Ii usually panic piled stuff on top of them because renovations, nor is there usually a lamp cord twisted up so it jams the closet closed in a way that takes 15 mins to extract. Sigh. I inevitably dropped heavy things on my feet, but I'm ready if it's as hot today as it was yesterday afternoon. The rest is packed back away more properly again, but nothing will really be right until I've got the living room sorted out, which will be a long time at the rate I'm going.

I did mail out a bit of bureaucracy at least. I haven't heard back about the last bit to go out back when the library closed mid-March.

* Saturday: Squirrel went for a COVID test today. Neither we nor his doctor think he has it, but given what he does for a living, his employer won't let him back without one, which is entirely understandable, and they need him back because it is vital work.

My suspicion is he had the same mild pathogen I had a couple of weeks ago. Same symptom set, if you subtract my chronic stuff. Odds are it's an influenza that muted just enough that the Autumn flu shot mostly, but not quite covered it.

The first I knew of him being sick was him ambling into my office yesterday to have me check him for covid eyes, which he assuredly doesn't have. Apparently he was a couples days in at this point.

I repeat, it doesn't look or sound like COVID. He's already much improved, it's just a precaution because he could kill a lot of people if he were infected.

It is still unnerving.

* Today, I saw more people out on the path and the lawn than I have in over a month. It was safer than it sounds. A lot of it was lone grad students going out to the parking lot and back a while later, presumably on errands or to one of the larger parks.

I also saw things like a mom with a stroller and an older child trying to get some air at a time when the area was empty. A mom and her two kids were out playing frizbee and on the lawn for a couple hours. I know them. It was one household, they moved well away when anyone was coming, and I'm not at all surprised that they were going stir crazy.

Not ideal, but it really did look like people were avoiding people not in their household and timing travel along the paths to avoid others.
