* 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.

"The FDNY says it responded to 2,192 cases of deaths at home between March 20th and April 5th, or about 130 a day, an almost 400 percent increase from the same time period last year. (In 2019, there were just 453 cardiac arrest calls where a patient died, according to the FDNY.)

That number has been steadily increasing since March 30th, with 241 New Yorkers dying at home Sunday — more than the number of confirmed COVID-19 deaths that occurred citywide that day. On Monday night, the city reported 266 new deaths, suggesting the possibility of a 40% undercount of coronavirus-related deaths."

"This global pandemic is different, but New Orleans is uniquely susceptible to it because of the epidemics of poverty, environmental racism and a lack of access to health care and preventive medicine. Largely because of that, the heavily African-American population here has high rates of asthma, diabetes and hypertension, all of which increase one’s risk of death from Covid-19. We’re now seeing the consequences, as African-Americans make up an estimated 70 percent of the death toll in Louisiana."

* What happened to Tuesday's news? The prep phase turned out to be massive and by the time i got to the article reading phase i wasn't taking that much in. The bit i managed went up on tumblr but I was too tired to clean up the aggregation for posting on dreamwidth.

Given how late I had to stay up to make this happen, odds are tomorrow's morning edition won't post.

I'm not sick. It's allergies kicking my ass. There is also the irony that while many people are having a lot of extra time, the things I do are ramped up to eleven. I just needed rest. I generally do this seven days a week and sometimes it's A LOT. It's very much A LOT right now.

* Democrats held out for everyone below a certain level of taxable income getting the checks instead of the Republican plan of not giving the poorest people anything, and insisted 45 and family can't use the money from the corporate welfare slush fund to help themselves. The Corporate Welfare slush fund theoretically has oversight now, but odds are they are going to use it so the largest corporation can inflate their stock prices by doing stock buy backs as a form of welfare for the rich. While corporations are getting free handouts that 45's officials get to dole out only to the companies 5 likes, small businesses are getting loans that will likely be very slow to disburse and that they will eventually need to pay back as Republicans are ideologically opposed to the existence of small businesses and are hoping the pandemic will drive as many as possible out of business to accelerate corporate control.

At least we got something? But not nearly enough, and mostly the republicans are using this as a scheme to do basically what they did in response to Bush's recession. Sigh.

They had the best time and nice nap after and they both seem to be recovered from the distress and turbulence of the renovations, which is also a great boon to Elder Kitty, who was not enjoying Tavy in his full on energizer bunny asshole cat mode. (It is not Tavy's fault. He is smol, but his emotions are huge and he can't self regulate at all when he's that upset and wound up. It's rough on the whole clowder, but it's not malicious.

In any case, things are back to normal.

* Stuff I said to a friend about Cuomo's press conference, mildly edited: He's honestly giving the sort of speeches the president should be giving. I have my political differences with him here and there, but Really? He's stepping the fuck up. Also? Going full Italian on people not taking it seriously is magical. I was watching Cuomo lose his shit over people playing basketball. "There is no social distancing in basketball!" I also love his cranky countering of rumors. And he's doing FDR/Churchill style "we're going to over come this" stuff that 45 attacked a reporter for asking him to do.

* In the season 2 Babylon 5 episode, Act of sacrifice, one can see the exact moment G'Kar starts to grow up. There is a terrible beauty to it.

* ToS: Season 2 Rewatch:

- 2.18: Immunity Syndrome. Spock announces a Vulcan vessel in distress "just died." They treat him like he's delusional even though Vulcans are low level psychic and the death toll would be large. Surprise, the whole system it was near is also dead. Maybe listen next time? Anyway they let him back on the bridge when they go to check out the ship.

There is a mysterious space anomaly that looks like a "hole in space." They are doing scans. A bunch of people on board fainted; Uhura nearly fainted. Spock ays he can't speculate. A cranky Kirk ends up asking Spock to list the things it's not, because he won't speculate. I start to wonder if this is subtle revenge for them being sort of dickish about the psychic episode, as he speculates just fine at the end of the sequence and indeed throughout the episode, at one point saying "I speculate." They arrive at maybe this thing killed all those people. No shit. Kirk gets dizzy. They "intersect" with it, there is a terrible noise, and the "stars are gone." Everyone's cranky and people keep passing out. Spock keeps enacting subtle revenge. The deeper they go in, the worse it gets. Everyone's taking "stimulents the who rest of the episode, to stay conscious.

Kirk insists on continuing against advise; bones points out they are literally all dying. They try to reverse, but lurch froward. It's draining the engines and they are getting drawn in. Spock suggests they try forward thrust. It slows them down, but doesn't stop them. Spock suggest something in the zone absorbs energy and maybe did this to the planet. Spock thinks the Vulcans couldn't believe it was killing them. The last thing they felt was astonishment.

They find what looks like a giant psychedelic fractal. It's living protoplasm covered in debris, presumably a graveyard of ships where the intrepid died. They decide to send a live person in as they need more than the mechanical probe apparently. Bones, Spock, and Kirk bicker about who should get to go. Kirk ends up sending Spock. The wish me luck scene with Spock/mccoy is the first tie this has looked like Bones low key flirting instead of indulging in racist bullying of Spock to me, so progress? Bones doesn't say "Good luck" until after spock is gone though.

Spock diverts power to his shields to the point he likely won't get back. The thing is reproducing, it turns out. Spock transmits the chromosomal data. They need to destroy it or it'll destroy the universe eventually. Spock calls them to try to tell them how to kill it, but the message is broken up. Spock: you should have wished me luck. Ouch. Bones just keeps believing he's not dead. Kirk has no energy left for that, but they work out that they are an antibodies. They cut thrust and shoot right in. They use and "antimatter probe" with a detonator.

Spock leaves a final statement. Kirk does basically the same thing, listing commendations including Spock for giving his life in performance of his duty. They spot Spock's vessel and try to tractor it. Spock tells them not to risk the ship for him. Bones snaps "Shut up Spock, we're rescuing you!" Scotty reports they have no power, but the explosion kicks them home. Yet another unique lifeform destroyed by the star ship enterprise! Um, go team? Bones is deliberately nasty to Spock, presumably to cancel out not being a dick for most of the episode.

Leonard Nimoy and Deforrest Kelly were particularly good in this episode and forcing Shatner to do a deliberately low energy performance actually improved his acting a great deal so he wasn't painful to watch for the whole middle of the episode.

* Today I moved a bookshelf approximately 8 inches to the right. It nearly killed me. I had to pull four shelves, clean them, put them back after. I nearly fell twice.

Earlier, I needed to do a quick ATM run. Our city is doing San Fransisco rules, basically. It was a little eerie driving down the min street on a Friday night and having it be so quiet. There were about the right number of cars for a Thursday, but not a Friday between 7 and 8. About half the restaurants and all the bars were closed. I could see a big carry out only sign on Skye and my favorite date night restaurant. The real difference was the only pedestrians were homeless people, trapped outside in plague city because we only have one shitty men's shelter that's run like a cult so only the most desperate men will use and nothing secular, nothing for women or families or teens. I saw literally one person in a mask waiting for a bus the whole drive home.

It is good and right that people are taking this seriously. It is fundamentally unnerving to see it in action. I washed my hands when I got home first thing, as i was touching the ATM.

* I know some people are understandably anxious about me.

1. I have a good supply of things like pasta and canned soup. I am currently well supplied with everything but bread products and a few perishables, and some super specific things I like, but don't literally need like Jaipur veg ready meals and that one type of oatmeal I really like. I still have a good supply of shelf stable milk and soy milk. There is a plan in place for healthy millenials to do my April shopping for me. I'm not going to starve. I promise.

2. I have a millennial on my living will paperwork as a medical contact. This friend also has my social media passwords and will tell you if anything happens to me that I can't inform you of myself via tumblr and dreamwidth. Odds are if I didn't post at the usual times I just wore myself out with post renovation organization and clean up, or was tired, or had my sleep disrupted again. Please, please don't be distressed if this happens. Again, odds are something will post in this space if anything happens to me suddenly.

3. I know there are starting to be shortages of certain lung medications. I am anal retentive about prescription refills and am extremely well supplied with lung meds in particular because they are essential to be basic functioning. The shortages are so far not in the method of delivery I use and I literally have another box of supplies already ordered and coming next week.

4. I currently have normal spring allergy symptoms, this being Spring, but my lung function is at the upper end of my lung function generally as I wrote this and I have no symptoms beyond my usual chronic stuff that isn't going to go away just because there is a pandemic on. I'll let y'all know if that changes.

I know people are really scared and rightly so, especially for people living in hot zones. Our federal government have failed us because republicans give no fucks if we live or die, but I live in a state and a city that really are trying hard to do what they can. If the pandemic gets me, it gets me. All I can do are take what rational measures I can.

Remember, my psychology is weird. I cope with bad shit happening by starting a staring contest with the abyss and see who blinks first. I'm that person who likes to know exactly what I'm up against. This how I got into aggregation blogging. I'd rather know than not know. I don't panic, and if I need to not look I don't look. This project may look like anxiety, but it's actually calm. This is me studying yet another world crisis the way I studied dangerous adults as a kid in order to survive them. It's what I do. It's also why the usual image and fandom posting is proceeding normally on my tumblr. I find setting that up relaxing.

Odds are your psychology and coping mechanisms are entirely different. Do what you need to take care of yourself, as long as your self care involves the usual pandemic safety precautions. If the news is stressing you out? Don't read the news. Go take a hot bath. Watch something silly. Garden. Read some fiction. Do a craft. Play some online games or do online chat. Eat. Sleep. Everything is easier to cope with if you've had food and sleep.

Do what you need to do mentally and physically. Take care of yourself and each other.

* So I've been trying to put things a little more right around the place. About the time I normally start hunkering down in advance of the contractors, the cats watched me take their poop box out of the bedroom. You should have seen their excited little faces, their big moon eyes watching it go back to wear it belonged, so hopeful. I opened the window, as it's warm enough during the day, but I also do that before the invaders come. They were uncertain. Then I wet outside and started dragging stands and containers around, which sure sounded like invaders, but the door wasn't closed and I wasn't hiding with them. Eventually they checked the patio window, tiny faces peering over the air conditioner to see the human tending plants, carrying water back and forth. normal things, no sign of Strangers at all. They came out into the living room, joining Elder Kitty in watching the gazebo birds an monitoring my doings.

Things are still not normal, not even close, really. I normally do these things in the late afternoon or early evening, but there were shoots coming up in places I couldn't get water to during the siege and a lot of things were drier than is good for them and some things were more shadowed than is ideal for their plants. I spread them out so they could really soak up the sun today and everything is properly watered. I planted seeds. I still have a bunch of smaller things to do out there, but the important stuff is done.

This evening I had a good bath and started looking through the art box, thinking about what should go in the blank places. Small bits of progress, but sometimes prep is all one can do.

* I am at the point in my Babylon 5 rewatch where that one pilot learns from the ship computer he's already had a lethal dose of radiation and has the ship divert powwer from life support so he can try to get the message home to save Sheridan, and I am weeping real tears even thouh I've seen the whole show run countless times.
