tranquility

Looking for a good time? 

If I am not chasing my children around the house administering sambucas (not to be confused with sambuca, the alcoholic beverage that tastes like licorice and reminds me of my dad) and vitamin c, you can find me in the laundry closet, picking up cat poop or vacuuming litter that my cat has deposited around the box.

Check the dishwasher, it is clean. AND dishes need to be put away! Again! And…it’s already full. Again! Because there were 5 cups in my car (my fault) and about 25 scattered about in various bedrooms and bathrooms. 

Who made another freakin smoothie???

Think you are getting out of the house tomorrow? Hahahaha hilarious! Think again. You actually get to be home all day. Again. Because last night the school texts you at 9:45 pm to say there is a positive case or two and will be shut down for the rest of the week. Sweet dreams! 

That feeling in your chest? A heart attack? Maybe! But more likely, anxiety!

Drink some tea! You may have to pee five times in the middle of the night but it will help you relax. 

You probably shouldn’t travel but it might be okay depending on what you do, who you see, what you eat, and who you look at when you get there. 

But the Super Bowl is here! Parties and experiences and people coming into town. 

Get a test but not too soon after exposure. Maybe you are asymptomatic. Maybe you already had it. Maybe your test was false. Maybe your kids have it. There is another new variant! Symptoms of Covid include but are not limited too: GI issues, vomiting, cold symptoms, loss of taste and smell, purple toes known at covid toes and sometimes rashes. 

Time to upgrade your mask! Wear a double or triple layer one! Hope you can breathe you guys! 

Limit your time at the grocery store. 

But if you can score tickets to the Superbowl, have fun! 

We ran out of snacks. I’m hungry.

Why can’t I go? So and so is going. 

So and So has covid, Honey. 

No more screen time. Where’s the ipad, phone, computer? What should we watch on TV tonight? 

Where did all of the chargers go?

I watched Queens Gambit – the whole thing last weekend. 

And my tranquility needs to be refurbished! 

Support the restaurants. 

Save lives, stay home!

Kids need to be in school. Keep your kid home if they are sick. A runny nose? Keep them home. (But at age 5, their noses run about 75% of the time). 

Vaccinations. When? 

Vacation? When?

Take the dog for a walk, pick up more poop. 

Clean the spot on the couch. WTF is that? It’s odiferous alright.

Who’s not respecting the wood? Not me, not me, it’s the cat, he spilled orange juice again!

Plunge the toilet. 

Snacks. Snacks. Drinks. Snacks. Dry January. (Sally was right, dry January is the most ill-conceived BS ever).

Exercise. Write. Don’t eat too much.

I want a snack. 

What is the date?

Wait, what time is it?

IS that my stomach in that photo? 

We should get together. Hahaha! Plans! Hilarious! 

Zoom.

Hey, what should we have for dinner?
