March 25 - Day 26 of Coronocation
Mar. 25th, 2020 12:47 pmHey, All!
So, I ended up having to work the entire weekend, and haven't really had much time off. I've been really oscillating between being tired at having so much work to do, and grateful I have a job right now to begin with. NYC schools kicked into their regional enrichment centers this week, and so there was quite a bit to do to respond to that, and the shift of 1.1M or so students moving to remote learning, and about a million other changes to keep up with.

What I'm watching:
The Librarians: Seasons 2 and 3. It's exactly the kind of goofy, optimistic stuff that I need right now. I don't have it in me for serious at this moment, so this is something I'd highly recommend for those in the same position. It's on Hulu right now. If you've never watched the original made-for-tv movie with Noah Wyle, and also HIGHLY recommend it. It's kind of amazing in a really cheesy way. Truly a favorite.
Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears: Been looking forward to this for a long time. Sadly, it wasn't nearly as good as I wanted it to be. Miss Fisher and Jack are obviously still an absolute joy, but some of the interactions were a little nonsensical (specifically, their first interaction at the funeral, which seemed really out of character and out of touch for Phryne), none of the other characters show up for more than a few seconds at the beginning, and they spend a little too much time on scenery shots and building up a mystery that I had trouble following (normally, I'm VERY on top of the mysteries but this one was a little boring). The best bits were, as always, the Jack and Phryne banter, but there really could have been a lot more of it.
Agatha Raisin: Season 2. I hadn't realized there were two more seasons of this! Only watched the first of the second season so far, but entertaining as always. A fun one.
What I'm reading:
Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters: This one is really cute, and a good listen. The first in the Amelia Peabody mystery series. Features Amelia Peabody, a 30-something, average looking, independently wealthy lady who wants to go see the world. I'm about halfway through this one and it's a fun one. Recommended for those who like BBC murder mysteries.
How I'm feeling today: Pretty ok, but definitely worn out from all of the work. Taking a few hours off of working today to recoup. Strangely, my anxiety has been very under control, but I think this is mostly down to 1) having a job, 2) having stayed in for the last few weeks, and thus having very little risk of catching anything. Only been out a few times, and did not really interact with anyone in close quarters. Shower as soon as I get back inside and change clothes. Also strangely not stir crazy being in the apt -- as it turns out, I'm pretty ok with being stuck inside.

How I slept last night: Alright, but not quite as good as I'd like. Went to bed around 11:30ish, and cats woke me up at 7. Going to try an earlier bedtime, since the cats will wake me up at the same time no matter when we go to sleep.
What's different today than yesterday: Cases have shot up as expected. We're at about 18,000 cases here in NYC. Not unexpected, but still super shitty. Federal gov't is still not being very helpful (understatement, I know), but they're setting up emergency hospitals in a few places, including the Javitts Center. Hopefully we'll get enough ventilators to stem the worst of it, though that's not looking super likely right now. Over 40,000 medical professionals have volunteered to help in NY, which is staggering and so fucking impressive. Humanity really does step up, even when some are super shitty.
What did I eat today: My appetite is back a bit, but mostly I'm just eating a few things that are a little higher calorie. Today, I had a little bit of baked beans, and an Amy's GF/Vegan Mac and Cheeze.
Until next time,
