April 27
Made a quick trip to the office to pick up a student file, got some groceries and dropped them off at the police station at the same time and picked up my headphones. Left a pink flamingo in Beth's chair and blueberries for Michael (who was there). Got my camera and monitor and docking station and teamug and got it all home and washed the car on the way. Listened to NPR on the way - THINK about successful aging. Good stuff.

There was a storm and I battened down the hatches and closed the computer and did not get any numbers. Rain and winds and no damage.
April 29
meeting about Beth's retirement celebration - admin meeting - student meetings - grad group meeting - student meetings. Jim went out for a couple of hours and I had more Halal Guys lunch and a short nap and then worked on the degree plans and got quite far and then Michael wrote and asked about Hannah and I broke.

WTF week six - like really?
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html
April 20
Emails, and emails, and a walk and a nap for lunch and then more emails Did the sheets and had baked potato for dinner. Spoke to MW for a bit, to ask about a student and get some advice.
I don't have the energy to think much, except for short bursts of insight - like how it would be nice with god because it is so helpful with someone who can take it all in, for whom my issues are not a bother, someone who takes the long perspective on things. The rest is spent not panicking and nesting and dealing with the details of everything that is changing.

Last episode of George Gently. Holocaust Remembrance Day. So little to say about anything.
I figured something out about aging, and why we end up thinking that things are changing and different and more dangerous than before because when we are young we can read what is going on and understand the signals and what they mean and how to respond, but as you age you get out less and cannot read the interactions as well and they get threatening.
Also, we took a walk and it is fascinating to see how we are learning to communicate with distancing rules - we have to translate the new rules.

Long day - admin meeting, grad meeting, track meeting, and students. Working on a letter to the translation student and cleaning up the degree plans. My box of salt licorice came in. Will have to put in small packages and hide the rest. Benson gave a town hall and said we haven't yet looked at furlowing or firing .... meaning it is out there. Apparently some people want a discount if the fall classes are online and they want a refund on the parking fee. I understand when people are hard up, but that is a way to long term support the buildings and features so that there is something to come back to.

The student who now wishes we had not give them a degree. The faculty who insist on reading information in a very particular manner that has only a parting likeness to reality. If only I could just do my job.
Oh Oh, the orange man had suggested we might find a way to put like Lysol on the inside and clean the lungs ... or just sunlight, yanno. And I am thinking I really, really want to figure out how to deal with folks reaction to cognitive dissonance. How to help us break free from remaining committed to the ideas we have attached to ourselves.

Called Annika and then tried my godmother and then talked with David. Was going to sit outside, but a bird is nesting in the planter so we are staying away. Had breakfast and took a nap together and went out and went for lunch at Kearn's something or other and got stuff to make negroni's and a new waterfilter for the fridge and did something else useful and watched JCS and I cried and cried like always. John Legend such an impressive range - and whoever did Judas, did really good.

Went to the store at 7:30 and they had toilet paper. Glad about that. Turns out the PCs are really wanting me to work for them, not John - not that simple but close. Talked to Mom and Jonas - he has not been outside the house even to take out the trash for 10 days. Arrgh.

Worked on the website, our degree plans, talked to Alice, went to MicroFry so Jim could by an Ipad mini. He likes it I think. Responded to Charles on Teams, had a Manhattan and read on the balcony. I liked that. Jim came out and played with his Ipad while I read. We both liked that, I think.

Worked on the website, our degree plans, talked to Alice, went to MicroFry so Jim could by an Ipad mini. He likes it I think. Responded to Charles on Teams, had a Manhattan and read on the balcony. I liked that. Jim came out and played with his Ipad while I read. We both liked that, I think.

Milton, of course. "hollow cubes - hollow men." Got nail clippers for the cats and fixed Nietzsche's ingrown claw - very proud and happy.

WTF week three
The dashboard is here https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html
March 30
Today's numbers
World: 782,365
US: 161,807 - 2,978 dead
Sweden: 4,028
Texas: 3,147
Florida: 5,473
Students came back to school - remotely - and we made a few more steps on getting together information about the new degree plans out to students. Jim helped me set up a table in the guest bedroom, so now I have a real office with a second monitor. I also took the second office chair from his office and now have a real, comfortable chair. It really helps.

Today's numbers
World:801,400 857,487
US:164,610 188,172 - 3,170 3,873 dead
Sweden:4,028 4,435
Texas:3,339 3,809
Florida:5,704 6,741
Life does feel a bit repetitive, which is boring, and I find myself just surviving rather than enjoying things, hunkered down, waiting. There is very little planning, and I think I need to start projecting into the future a little, whether it is this summer or fall or next year.

World: 937,170
US: 216,515 - 5,119 dead

Texas: 4,607

Today was just about about powering through it. The numbers are up, and the reality comes in waves.
April 2
today I got really really dizzy, enough that I had to lay down for a couple of hours. Then did the last MA portfolio defense which went well - they were kind and generous. We got cat litter and tapezole for Sigmund - yes, we now have two cats with hyperthyroidism. Bleah.

April 3
Saw the Hunt tonight - really really really strange, but also good. So weird to realize that something that was fiction and can be turned off is less strange than the reality that when we were at Target tonight there were people wearing masks and we were afraid of getting too close to them for fear they will give us a deadly virus. So fucking bizarre.
World: 1,099,389 - 58,901 dead

Went to McDonalds for breakfast. Got the mail in Arlington and stopped by Tony on the way back. Went through my closet to figure out what I had done with the beads to make a necklace - cannot find them, but cleaned the closet a bit.

Florida: 11,545
April 5
Mom's birthday - talked to her, tried to call Inger, talked to David for a bit. Very slow day, but I did get a translation ordered for the divorce decree and did two loads of laundry.
World: 1,274,923 - 69,479 dead
