Claro Que Yo Me Quedo En Casa

There's a Spanish hashtag that has recently come up, #yomequedoencasa meaning I stay at home, created to promote the practice of well, staying home. Well I'm saying that claro (of course) que me quedo en casa . I'm an introvert, more specifically an INFP . And because of the feelings of anxiety and dread I've managed for most of my life, like many people with anxiety, this new nightmare we're all in almost feels normal or at least familiar within. Also, yo me quedo en casa because I'm fortunate enough not to be homeless, trapped in an abusive relationship, nor am I rooming with dozens of people. I realize that staying home and practicing social distancing cannot always be practiced properly depending on one's circumstances. As for the term social distancing, I feel that physical distancing is a more accurate way to phrase it since many of us are constantly checking in on each other and being quite social regardless.

What Things May Come

So now here we are contending with the coronavirus. I'm glad I ventured out to Connecticut when I did. Not that it's super far, but still. I'm also glad my sister went to London and came back before the madness. I realize I didn't even write about her wedding here. I will eventually though. I'm glad I have my transcribing job at this time but finding work is hard there too. And I really want to get better at it. I'm also a Shutterstock contributor learning about which images they like to approve and which ones they don't like. Interesting stuff. Stay tuned to see what else emerges from this hunker-down pandemic. There will be more to come, I'm sure. Love to you, stay safe xoxoxxoxo

I hate that I missed my cousin's baby shower on the same day but loved that I went out to see his show, which Netflix eventually ended up calling his "Hey, There's More" tour, End Times Fun . His last bit on Mike Pence was very bizarre but then again so is Mike Pence so there's that.  Perhaps the darkest bit was when he'd imagine and then enact the complacency we might take on towards authoritarianism. A woman in the front had a problem with it apparently, because when he asked us, too grim? she apparently said yes, to which he replied with something defensive like, whatdya want, lady? I entertain, what else can I do?!   He eventually got on her good side it seems as she laughed at an even darker joke about putting his cat LaFonda to sleep as opposed to parents not putting their addict/junkie kids...
