My Favorite Albums of the Year, Part I: 1964 - 1974

Back to Work

Leaving aside whether or not it is a wise decision healthwise, my employer has demanded my return to my essential job, and I have agreed to return.  I go back tomorrow, Sunday May 3, 2020.  Back to waiting on at least 60 customers a day, most with no masks and little regard for Covid 19.  Oh well.  That's life.

As a result, my writing will be taking a back seat.  I did post Saturday's (today's) chapter at Confessionsofasupervillain.blogspot.com , but we're going back to Tuesday only postings, and it might not happen this Tuesday, but I will try.

I will do my best to stay safe, you do the same.

Happy 4/20!

So, here we are.  Smoke em if you got em.

Just didn't want the day to pass without a nod.

Have a great day, kids.

Thanks for Reading.

Happy 420.

Happy Easter, I guess

Hey gang,

Hope you are all staying safe.  Socially Distancing.  Washing your hands.  That sort of thing.

I hope that if you celebrate Easter, Passover, or any of those springtime religious holidays you find a way to do so with some measure of happiness.

I've posted a lot more chapters over at Confessions of a Supervillain.  I call it, a novel in gyres and flashes.  Check it out at confessionsofasupervillain.blogspot.com

Be safe.  Peace to you and yours.

Best,

Diana

Covid 19 Leave of Absence

So, I broke down and took a leave of absence from work during this covid 19 pandemic, as I have COPD and asthma.  Things will be tight for a while, but hopefully, I'll be able to get back to work in a few weeks.

In the meantime, it means more chapters more often over at Confessions of a Supervillain, so there's that.

Be safe.  Stay home.  Wash your hands.

Later.

Panic Attack at Work

In real life, I'm currently the Assistant Manager in an auto parts store for a major chain, in Albany, NY.  The state is on lockdown, but we're considered essential, so I'm still working.

Customers are not properly socially distancing.  I am afraid of them now.  Yesterday, I had to go home because I had a panic attack.  I'm disappointed in myself, but it is what it is.  My boss told me to take the rest of the week off.  I probably will.  I'm off today and tomorrow anyway.  Tough times.

Anyway, thought I would share that.

Be safe.

So, Here We Are...

Hey, gang!  What's up?

Things look pretty fucking bleak right now on the news front, but you know that.  One of my coworkers was tested for covid-19 yesterday.  Scary stuff. Work is still open.

I ordered a couple of books to read if quarantined or isolated, David Copperfield and The Alchemist. I'll let you know what I think of them.

Got a full fridge, freezer, and cupboard.  Got TP.  Got some beer, tequila, bourbon, and greenery.

I'm hopeful that everyone gets through this pandemic safe and healthy.  Maybe, when we get through this, we learn some lessons, and change a few things.  I guess we'll see.

Stay safe, gentle readers!

Oh, yeah, Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
