  1. Serious question for COVID-serious people: What do you do when people say, "Oh, is COVID still bad where you are? It's over here, everything is fine."

    Because... at this point I honestly don't know where to start.

    Serious, constructive replies appreciated.

  2. Speaking of the Prisoner of War Manual (as I was a few days ago), when my isolated pandemic life gets untenable, the thought I keep coming back to is "I don't want to be the guy in the camps who gives up the day before the Allies arrive." It's a good touchstone for me in the darkest hours.

    Your mileage may vary, of course. If you're in any kind of tough times yourself, I hope you have something that keeps you going, whatever it is.

  3. "In the whirlwind of life, everything halted with the pandemic. Amidst the chaos, we confronted undeniable realities, practicing resilience and acceptance in the face of uncertainty. #PandemicLife #Resilience"

  4. Glad to see this:

    "Library of Congress launches covid oral history project"

    Early in the #pandemic I started a #Twitter thread on projects to collect stories on #PandemicLife. I no longer post to Twitter but can point to that thread for those who want to see some of the existing projects.

  5. It's been four years since my last hair cut (in the pre-pandemic world) and I'm reaching the point that I need to cut it myself.

    It's all one length, so no layers or bangs to deal with. I want to cut off a foot or more of length to reduce the weight and make it easier to manage.

    I've never done this before. (New hermit achievement unlocked!) Can anyone recommend good DIY tutorials? Thank you.

  6. Them: You're not in touch with ANY of your exes?

    Me: Are you kidding? At this point, I'm not even in touch with any of my FRIENDS!

  7. I waas just looking up Wings of Desire on IMDB and you know what, I long for the tangible joys of physical existence, too.

  8. Three years ago today my kids (then 8 and 10) decided to treat my husband and me to a fancy dinner at home as thanks for keeping them safe and sane during that first month of the #pandemic. We had no idea how much longer life in lockdown would last. #Covid #pandemiclife

  9. Someone from our group of friends casually remarked that, with the way we usually dress plus our semi-permanent face mask, we kinda look like post apocalyptic video game NPC’s 🤔

  10. “Everything Happens to Me” would be the opening credits song for a biopic about my life. Billy Holiday’s version, voice heavy with resignation.

    I’m exhausted, overwhelmed, and feeling sorry for myself. It was bound to happen. My sleep hygiene is crap. Several “BIG THINGS” came unstuck and there’s shit to deal with. The lack of practical support is catching up to me. This crappy chassis is no help.

  11. Food in isolation:

    Local friends drop off gifts of food for me sometimes, approx 4 or 5 times a year on average.

    A friend asked me for a wish list last week, and very kindly stocked me up on pantry items I was running low on.

    I asked for one container of a perishable item.

    The friend generously brought three.

    This is where it gets exciting...

  12. Here's something I wrote about THE MAGICIANS, THE BRADY BUNCH and how TV and the craft of writing can help us build intimacy and connections, even from far away, even on a zoom call.

  13. Well this one didn’t age well. Think I’ll just start adding hash marks every year.

  14. Pandemic music listening habits:
    2020: metal, prog
    2021: postpunk, grunge
    2022: indie rock, post-rock, film scores

    I'm sure this means something.

  15. I've not had a haircut since the pandemic started.

    At some point I decided to let it grow for the wig people.

    Just a few inches until I get the ponytail cut off, send it off to the cancer wig people and get a haircut.

  16. These geraniums are 4 yrs old. Each fall, I bring them inside so they can survive Chicago’s harsh winters. They get a bit leggy, stretching for the sun. In the spring, I snip off cuttings for my FREE box I hang from the fence in front of my apartment. #gardening #urbanGardening #free #payItForward #flowers #geraniums #pandemicLife #randomThoughts #SharingMatters #kindness #growthMindset #abundance

  17. It's our day off and the weather is gorgeous. We decided that this warranted going somewhere exotic: the balcony.

  18. Wow. Sanitizing the delivered shopping, rotating the stocks in the pantry and freezers, then portioning and vacuum packaging the bulk meats took me 7 hours (with a couple of short coffee breaks). Admittedly I did also do a deep cleanse of the Kitchen and thorough clean of the refrigerators as part of this, but I'm glad this is an exercise we only do every few weeks... 😓 Thaksful we can get everything we need tho. 🙏 #pandemiclife

  19. This week's coloring sheet for church. We're all coloring them together (but separately) while church is shut down. #MastoArt #ColoringSheet #PandemicLife
