Both kids’ Easter breaks began today. There’s something oddly ironic about this. No big Easter plans, obv. I was going to make peanut butter eggs but the lunatics have bought out every variety of chocolate chip known to man. I did buy three Hershey’s chocolate bars to use instead, but have managed to eat one … Continue reading Q-Day 29: Shitshows, Passover, & Keeping It Real

Quarantine Day 27: Spiraling
Sabra avoided me for about 4 hours after her bath and blowout but got bacon drippings with dinner and all was well with her world again. Last night Todd and I tag-teamed her so we could shave her face and, while she hated it, she looks so much better. I am proclaiming myself queen of … Continue reading Quarantine Day 27: Spiraling
Things Todd & I Can Do While Quarantined Together
I’m borrowing from this article I read the other day. The ideas are not mine and I have attached the link to the article and give full credit to the author. Hereto follows suggestions for us to do other than watching Netflix. [First off, Netflix is barely on the table anyway. He wouldn’t have made … Continue reading Things Todd & I Can Do While Quarantined Together
Quarantine Day 22: Joy
Welp, today’s the day. Todd says “someone” smells like pee and since I’m pretty sure it’s not me, Sabra is getting her bath today. Her fur is long and getting fluffier by the day so I anticipate this is going to be a joyful adventure. I read that monkeys shouldn’t eat bananas, that it’s equivalent … Continue reading Quarantine Day 22: Joy
Quarantine Day 21: No April Fools’ Jokes
I am intentionally keeping Q-Day posts as short as possible (goal: under 1000 words) for quick reading, and broke it into 3 sections. Section 1: updates and random thoughts. Section 2: the day's stats (will NOT include virus stats. If you got time for that, you can look it up yourself). Section 3: random trivia. … Continue reading Quarantine Day 21: No April Fools’ Jokes
Quarantine Day 18 : Joy Postponed, & 85 T-Shirts
Last day at work on Friday with the regular crew. One of the providers bought an ice cream cake for all of us. The MA who picked it up had them write “Corona” on it, with a virus symbol over it, because healthcare people are a little morbid but also very good at keeping up … Continue reading Quarantine Day 18 : Joy Postponed, & 85 T-Shirts
Quarantine: Day 15
All you ladies out there worried about your roots – there’s plenty of boxed hair color out there, AND it’s on sale this week! We have ants in our house. It’s the usual Spring exodus, but they’re in my walk-in closet! I bent over to pick up a pair of shoes and they scattered. I … Continue reading Quarantine: Day 15
Day 14: The Common Denominator
That’s apparently what I am, since Todd and O don’t go out, and V and her dad and stepmother don’t go out. I’m the only one working outside the house. It was decided, based on a handful of discussions, that it was best for V to stay put with her dad and O to stay … Continue reading Day 14: The Common Denominator
Day 11
Random Notes: Still have plenty of TP. We're all gaining weight, even the dog, who is getting more treats from everyone in the house than she’s ever had. The drip in the kitchen faucet is diabolical. Dropped a bar of soap in the shower and learned it's just as loud as a shampoo bottle. Star … Continue reading Day 11
Quarantine – Day 10
Just rolled out of bed and have not had my coffee yet. Todd is singing “Lady” in the kitchen, loudly, and I’m trying to ignore him. Sensing this, he turns his attention to Sabra and sings to her – which of course she loves because – treats. “…. Saaaabra, your love’s the only love I … Continue reading Quarantine – Day 10
