Nothing new here... well, not really

[susandennis]

Biggie has dictated the end to the pillow collar. He says he does not need it. He promises to leave the incisions site alone and so far has done just that. So, sorry, Vet, no can do with that stupid collar. Also, the medications they gave me to control his pain and to sedate him a little seem to be totally ineffectual (at least in the sedate part - and clearly the way he's hopping, leaping, knocking shit over, he can't be in too much pain) and not needed so we're skipping them this morning to see if anyone notices.

On the invoice for his surgery, they itemized every single thing. And there, in the middle of the list was 'complementary nail trim $0'. Cracked me up. Biggie grows dagger needles at the end of his toes and rarely lets me clip more than one. They got him and started doing pre-surgery stuff and he pulled out those weapons and they were all WHOA nelly! someone get those clippers, please. And they really nubbed him for which I'm very grateful. My plan is to keep up with the program. I found one they missed this morning and he let me clip it. So far, so good.

I just saw a Tweet from the AP Western Region that while bars and restaurants were closed, pot shops were reaping the rewards. It reminded me of a new thing at my annual physical last week. He always asks if I smoke, if I drink/how much, etc. But this year he added using marijuana to the question list. I thought that was interesting.

rsc just left a comment that nailed my feelings exactly. It's not the being confined that's all that concerning "But having nothing on the horizon is weird and unsettling." That nails my feelings.

The only thing I have on the horizon is picking up my prescriptions from Costco but one isn't ready yet and I don't really need any of them yet so I'll wait.

I signed up for a beta program for a company who's hardware and software. I haven't heard if I'm accepted. Probably not. I signed up to sew masks. No word from them either. So... basically nothing.

I do think I might take a shower today. I didn't yesterday and today, ugh. Easy fix.

I watched Peanut Butter Falcon yesterday. It was a sweet little movie clearly done on a shoestring budget which made it all the more charming. I have more stuff to watch today so I'll do that.

Yeah, that “nothing on the horizon” AND the uncertainty of what’s ahead makes people go crazy. That’s exactly why I’ve been more of a taskmaster with my staff, to make sure they have goals in mind to focus on. It’s funny, I’ve made my daily morning meetings entirely optional, because I know that people are juggling childcare, etc...but as the week went on, EVERYONE started showing up. They need the meeting, just to have a chance to connect and an assignment ahead.

Very cool to make sure you and your folks all do have something on the horizon.

I've been filling time with catching up on movies/tv shows. I've added The Peanut Butter Falcon to my Netflix dvd queue, which I've recently started using (dvd delivery) after a long hiatus. It does look charming.

I feel like you're both very well equipped to stay indoors indefinitely, but also very attached to some of your regular outings, whether it's swimming or brunch. Also thought of you when people were talking about COPD. Hope you're comfortable!

[susandennis]

You are very kind. Yeah between being 70 and having COPD, I kind of feel like I don't stand much of a chance if I get it. But, I also, weirdly, think I won't get it. But, yeah, I so miss the swimming a lot. Other than that, I'm really good. Mentally and poptart wise :)

I also tend to want to go out for brunch once a weekend, but I think I'd be better off making my own tomorrow. Might do takeout from one of the local favorite eateries for dinner, though. I'm trying to keep spending money with a wide variety of them. So many of them are so desperate to keep doing something.

I have been asked re marijuana question a few times and as I do use it for pain and nausea I tell them. To date none of them have looked remotely shocked.
