What is everyone doing?

I got my unemployment figured out so I am celebrating with take out. Tomorrow I am going to thin our carrots out. I also got my hair cut today. So now it won't take me 20 minutes to straighten it.

I'm mentally and physically exhausted, but unfortunately, I have a Toastmasters area zoom annual meeting tomorrow morning starting at nine. No idea how long it will be as this is my first year as club president, so I've never attended one before.

I also have a brief to write this weekend for my boss.

Hope to watch some Call the Midwife (need a pick-me-up, so that felt like a good choice) and sleep at some point in there.

And I really need to stay away from the news for a few days. Which makes me feel guilty that I have the freedom to do that. But I'm no good to anyone burned out, and I'm headed in that direction.

Sorry you have been having such a tough week. I hope next week is a bit easier.

Thanks.

I know what you mean about the news. I'm starting to get sucked into the breaking news cycle bullshit, jumping from social media platform to social media platform. I keep telling myself to knock it off because it's not healthy, especially with both confirmed and unconfirmed things floating around. It'll drive you nuts.

But at the same time, I don't want to remain blissfully ignorant while the world around me (figuratively, but I guess in some cases literally) burns. I need to find that balance, but what I have right now ain't it.

Yup. I don't want to remain ignorant, and I can't both because of what I do and because I have friends who are actively involved (and other friends for whom this is personal and real just because they are black). I've spent the past 3 days actively in the news and doing my best to rebroadcast and share voices on my Facebook. I just need a breather. I'll be working on an asylum case this weekend too, which is bound to be its own difficult stuff to view. So I'm just going to go off Facebook and news sites for the weekend.

Take care.

Thanks. You too.

I'm in Minneapolis, so I'll be doing whatever our police state lets us between the hours of 6 am and 8 pm. 🙄

(Honestly, though, I'm fine. Trying to find a relief effort to help with tomorrow since I can't be at the protests. I have food. I have shelter. I had a bunch of people call today to make sure I'm okay. We'll get through this. I just hope justice will prevail this time.)

A couple of my friends are going to protest there. Stay safe!

Good luck. I hope justice prevails too. I hope you and everyone stay safe, that the protests go well, and that you are able to help in some way.

from an eastward neighbor, stay safe and may justice prevail.

there's a few nerdy vendors and establishments in the line of fire right now, I hope they're all okay.

I've got a chunk of brisket and I've got to work out what to do with it.

That sounds delicious! Hope you can find something delicious to do with it.

I went out and bought a bottle of red wine, and I'm going to cook it over night in the wine. I'll probably put some bay leaves, garlic, and maybe some mustard in there too. Nothing too adventurous.

That sounds pretty delicious though. Going to cook in slow cooker?

Ordering Chinese takeout tonight. Probably going to cook something over the weekend - maybe chili or a pot roast, I haven't decided yet. Just surviving

Both of those sound delicious. I'd go for chili just because it is hot here and chili doesn't require the oven.

I dunno actually. The mall's open now and I kinda want to go to Barnes and Noble. It's pretty big, so it should be easy to social distance in there, but it's also gonna be really hot and I hate going out in the heat.

I get that. I hate going out in the heat, especially since I have to wear a mask.

Right now i'm seriously considering deleting my tumblr and having done with it. People very obviously don't want me there, not even the ones who claim to still be my friends, so i might as well complete the transition once and for all, right?

To be honest, I got a tumblr but never use it. I forget about it except once a week.

I just got back from the grocery store and my car's breaks were kind of creaky from not being driven in two weeks, so maybe I will just drive around a bit at some point this weekend and periodically break hard! There's absolutely nowhere I need or want to go. (These days, I'm too unimpressed by humanity in general to go places.)

Oh no! Any place you can drive to that is a bit away?

omg I have to work every day. It sucks. I'm so exhausted. Plus I have a lot of work due on monday and tuesday on top of that. Trying to talk myself into getting things done early so I don't feel too overwhelmed once the week starts but I fell asleep and am likely in for a long night tonight.

Grats on work! Celebrate and take care!
