Cicadian rhythm be damned

Life in the pandemic is getting to be more like reality every day.
It is currently 8:47 a.m. I fell asleep at 11, was up at 2, stayed up until 6, went back to sleep and got up at 8. The night before last I ended up not sleeping at all. Lately we've been going to bed at 5 or 6 a.m. and getting up at 3 or 4 p.m It's crazy time around here in terms of sleep schedule (what's a schedule?)

So I just set up a zoom for next week for like a Piscataway reunion (lunch). We'll see what kind of response I get. The book clubs have been going well, zoom wise. We had a DKG meeting zoom today that was okay.

 Dancing via zoom is practically an every day option, which is great.


My hair is in desperate need of professional assistance, but I am ready to stay in forever if necessary to stay safe and keep Tom as healthy as possible. (poor Tom is suffering so).

Gaming with Sue and Patrick is always a treat.

I signed up for some Word Press instruction but it is really complicated! The woman presenter is awesome, though. Julia Taylor. Dynamic personality!

Update on binging tv: We finished all 9 seasons up to current of The Walking Dead ( I dream about that story now...it's scary). We watched "The Stranger", finished season 1 of "The Tunnel" and are in mid season 1 of "Counterparts" (I think that's the title...)

The Walking Dead

I avoided this show for ten years due to the title and my aversion to zombies and vampires, but now we started binging it and can't stop watching.  We really like it. It's almost 5 a.m. on night two and we are on season 3, episode 10. Oy.
To be continued....

Actually, I can also report I held our first Contact book club via zoom. It was fun!

Projects

The latest is working on a memory book for Theresa, who is retiring at June's end at Marty's suggestion. So far we have an email address and some photos. To be continued.

I've gotten back into the swing of CONTACT (from home!) and SHIP clients (7 hours over 2 days for one client and her husband...and then she decided to stick with what she had found for herself originally...but pledged to come back and revisit at open enrollment time....)

It's been fun seeing everybody in the zoom rooms for dice, book club, shmoozing, etc. I have been quite remiss with the Max, sadly.
I'm trying to do all the dancing, but it's tough with our limited floor space. :-(

Tom has been hurting and I feel so bad for him. Shooting and constant pains in his shoulders and back. He even went to ER (at primary doctor's suggestion). I waited in the parking lot for him for like four hours (and finished The Wax Pack). Diagnosis: getting old.

My nails and hair are growing at an amazing rate. I do not despair. I will stay home for as long as it takes. I just wish other people would be similarly considerate.

School is closed for this school year in NJ. Opening in September is anybody's guess. I am so glad to be retired! and not have children at home either.
