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.


April 1

World: 937,170

US: 216,515 - 5,119 dead
Sweden: 4,947
Texas: 4,607
Florida: 7,773

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.

World: 1,013,157 -52,983 dead

US: 243,453 - 5,926 dead
Sweden: 5,568 - 308 dead
Texas: 5,069
Florida: 9,008

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

US: 277,953 - 7,152 dead
Sweden: 6,131 - 358 dead
Texas: 6,025 - 104 dead
Florida: 10,268

April 4

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.

World: 1,196,553 - 64,549 dead

US: 308,533 - 8,376 dead
Sweden: 6,443 - 373 dead
Texas: 6,555 - 116 dead
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

US: 337,620 - 9,647 dead
Sweden: 6,830 - 401 dead
