WTF continues - edition 17

July 6

I dunno. Days not have any structure. I wobble from thing to thing, always kinda on my way to later. Not enough sleep, but we did go out on the bicycles. Ordered jeans.  ICE came out with new rules about international students. Watched Sunset with Bruce Willis and James Garner.

Met  Magda on campus, took her picture and she cut my hair. Tried to go to the doctor, but didn't have an appointment. Another episode of Foyle's War - eerie similarities. They were waiting for a German invasion. Both of us were unnerved by the hypervigilance displayed by the shows characters.

Comet Cupboard with Sydney - Nils did the afternoon. Sent out the results of the TA survey. Remember that I had something last night I wanted to say. Maybe about the demons we are all fighting and do not know about - as in, we do not talk to each other, we shadow box, constantly. I saw it this morning in teh woman at the cash register who wondered what was wrong with me - nothing. I had been polite and friendly but she was paranoid and then she said it was all bad and God would sort it out. Outside a man came to take care of my cart and said another woman had told him to go away, to not come near her. His feelings were hurt. People are afraid again. So close to the surface.

Rachel hadn't read but we had a nice talk anyway. She told me about Axel and the flirty girl and different perspectives. Dry cleaners, frontline (vectra) for the cats, post office, Lauri to see her new car, Macy's for a bra and Michaels for rocks. A lovely nap. A silly Sherlock Holmes movie, Murder by Decree.

We did our taxes! Took all day, but we did 'em. and then I get ready to prepare for another week. Week eighteen. The fog intensifies. Yesterday we were all out and around people and today totally isolated. Someone said last week it will be January before we are back at work - I cannot imagine what the world will look like by then. It would be wonderful to inaugurate a new President with other people, but getting my hopes up for either is scary.

Florida's numbers are getting scary high and suddenly it becomes a reality that my brother - or his kids -  might get sick, might die. Or the Minnesotans or the FortWortheans ... so

My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people
