Above is the view from my window at work today. Rainy day. Suppose to rain all day.
I think we were supposed to start up seeing a movie again this week but I think we will postpone it a bit longer. Not especially concerned about movie theaters or anything, but I’m feeling rather lazy and it’s so much easier to just go home and veg after work. Plus there’s not much out right now anyway.
Still planning on going to Morro Bay the weekend of the 21-24. It’s not a large gathering nor at an airport, besides which I think much of this thing about the virus is way over blown. People are beating each other up over toilet paper. The world is nuts. Anyway, my plan is still on unless the whole state decides to quarantine like Italy has. Plus I don’t quite qualify for the “older people” they talk about on the news and CDC sites.
Fortunately my mother stopped attending church a couple years back because she was just too frail to make the effort to get up Sunday mornings and get ready. She watches mass from the television now. She really is of the age you have to be careful. Even of the flu. She’s been in the hospital before with pneumonia.
In other news, well, I am, um, still working on the Bang story. I’m up to about 3,000 words and have to have at least 6,000 by the end of the month. And then I am supposed to have like 75% done by the middle of April or some such. So…yeah. Not sure. Either way you get a story out of me.
The next two flashes are very very short, so I apologize in advance.
Other than that, I have not much to share. Still fighting Macy’s. Ongoing. I think I did get my bank account straightened out. So that’s something. And I get a bonus this week, so that’s something too.
I’m looking forward to the weekend. I have no plans. And that is good.

Hey, Bud – watch it with the OLD PEOPLE thing! Though I’ve now officially been told (by the media and of course THEY have my best interests at heart…oh wait, I don’t think they HAVE a heart) to stock up and stay in. Oh, like that’s gonna happen. Oh wait, again – you mean kinda like I do every day of every week now?????
So, I got this!
I think I’ve only had any kind of flu once in the past 16 years. And I never ever get the shot because my endocrinologist told me not to, and that he never does.
This seems to be the first flu that stays for the most part away from kids. Which means probably they just haven’t been tested. But still, no children have died from this new one. The “median age” of people who are dying now, they say, is “80.” Wol, heck, get back to me in another decade and a half. In spite of everything, I’m disgustingly healthy. Much more than I deserve to be. (Hand me the fries with that).
So, I have coffee and frozen milk and toilet paper. I’m good for at least a couple of weeks. Oh, and I made sure the cat has everything he needs for a couple of weeks, too. Lord knows, we can’t deny the cat his treats now just because there’s a human epidemic going around, can we?
I am fresh out of bat soup, darn it. Though they say that’s a myth. (Which always make me think of The Muppet Movie.)
I’ve been racking my brain for something to write for Pinto De Mayo this year. And I got nothing. I guess my one last year was….well, my ONE. Like Scotty, I gave her all I got back then.
I’m jealous of your Morro Bay trip. Which now, having seen Boston Legal, I always get confused with Denny’s Nimmo Bay fishing lodge. His is in cold, cold Canada, though, so yours is MUCH better.
I’m so sorry the Bang is not the highlight of your day, filling you with all kinds of inspiration and joy (kind of like the flash that greeted me when I woke Monday morning, which, OMG!)
If it helps any, just think the joy every one who gets to read it will have. Whenever you write it.
Well, make good choices.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AS IF! 😁🤣😁🤣😁🤣😁🤣😁🤣😁🤣😁
(And seriously, I think he’s coming out soon. Not with an announcement. But with a photo.)

I do not worry about YOU because of that exact reason. I know you stay in most of the time anyway. Which sure your chances are slim anyway, fortunately.
I do get the flu shot because us lungers need to, but I have never had any issues with it so I am good. Hell, maybe it will help me with this thing.
Yes, Morro Bay is not ice fishing or any of that. Years ago there was a Frasier episode where they went ice fishing with their dad. ha ha talk about fish out of water! I have a room booked on the water with a fireplace and everything. So looking forward to it.
I’ll still work on the story until the end of the month but if they want it to be at least 15,000 words and it has to be 75% finished by mid-April, I would have to have like twice the 6,000 by then and that’s not much time. I don’t at all hate the story but it’s not flowing as easily as I’d like.
Wasn’t he already coming out in that photo? 😀 oh you mean the other one not Z

Heehee! Boy, was Z EVER coming out in that photo!
And yeah, if those sandals weren’t coming out, I don’t know what is.
You know how once in awhile I get something right. I think they’re both sending signals to each other and to us.

I am demanding it happens as well. Right now I have zero plans to cancel. It’s not a large gathering and so far I have not even heard of even one confirmed case there, so unless the state shuts down or the city, I plan to go.
I made some progress on the story today but of course it went off the rails with a totally new element I hadn’t thought of before for this story. So, yeah. I got it almost up to 4000 words and probably would have if I didn’t get lazy at the end of my lunch!
Yeah…Macy’s…I’m so pissed at them I don’t even know if I can watch Miracle on the 34th Street the same again. Grrrr.

Morro Bay! Can’t wait for you to go 🙂
Yeah, my state is starting to get cases but nothing around where I live. My little city hasn’t freaked out but my aunt like 30 minutes away said their costco was cleaned out of toilet paper.
Yay for progress on Bang story! I added a whole paragraph since the check in LOL
Still hoping Macys sorts that shit out soon! Fingers crossed.
