MY TREADMILL IS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE TOMORROW LASDJFLSDJFLASFJ

In other news, it’s still the dead of winter here, temperature-wise. Today the “feels like” temperature was 5 when I started my walk.

F I V E.
It is A P R I L.

And it’s supposed to snow like five days out of the next two weeks.

I reiterate: A P R I L.

It was also cloudy and dreary as hell today, which kills my motivation to do anything. I am solar-powered, yo. I needs da sun.

Bye.

A List to End All April Lists

By Claudia on | Leave a comment

(Not really.)
(Yes, I’m doing the April list on the 4th. Fight me.)

  • Nate and I have been watching Ducktales via Disney+ (the new 2017 version, not the old one yet) and I’ve really been enjoying it. I never watched Ducktales when I was a kid for some reason (Talespin was my jam).
  • I don’t know how my current pair of shoes is going to make it until the 15th. They’re already so very worn out.
  • I wonder if my polymorphous light eruption will flare again this spring/summer or if that was just a one-time thing.
  • I’m currently replaying Half Life because, you know, I haven’t played that enough times in my life. I always forget just how big that game is, especially given when it first came out.
  • This is a beautifully-written opinion on the impact of COVID-19 on a family.
  • Here is a bald eagle and its chick. Super cute! I like bald eagles. I hope I get to see my bald eagle buddy down by the river once the weather gets better. If it ever does.

  • I love how my response to this pandemic has been BUY ALL THE THINGS. Is shopping my stress relief? Am I that kind of person?
  • WHAT IS THIS AND WHY AREN’T OLYMPIC-LEVEL SKATES LIKE THIS

I think I’m done.

Do the Covid-19 Panic

By Claudia on | Leave a comment

So is anyone else experiencing some serious COVID-19 symptoms that are completely psychosomatic in nature?

I sure as hell feel like I am.

I feel like I’m coughing more, even though I know I’m not.

I feel feverish, even though I’m not. I take my temperature like seven times a day and half the time my temp is below 96 degrees (I’m a lizard).

I feel like I’m having trouble breathing, even though I’m not. I can take deep breaths without struggling, I’m not wheezing or feeling a rattle or anything like that. And I’m pretty sure I couldn’t run seven miles if I was having actual breathing problems. I think part of this “symptom” is that when I’m working at home at my desk, I hunch over way more than I do at my office desk, which makes my lungs feel a bit more compressed.

But yeah, fun times. I’m pretty sure I’d actually be someone who showed no symptoms if I ever did get the virus, ‘cause that’s just how it would be.

Look at this adorable girl

She loves to grind her teeth and chin on my toes. And purr incessantly while she does so.

That is all.

CLOUDSKY

Y’all, look at this fantastic cloud boundary. So sharp.

04-01-2020

I risked my fingers freezing off for this, too. It’s so freaking cold here right now, but it wasn’t cold enough to deter me from taking cool cloud pictures.

‘Cause that’s how I roll.
