CORONAVIRUS! Part 26 (Mon – Thurs)

CORONAVIRUS! Part 26 (Mon – Thurs)

Monday, April 27, 2020

The iconic phrase “Happiness is a warm puppy” debuted 60 years ago
with this Peanuts strip first published on April 25, 1960.⁠

12:30pm: Doggie is fed. Newspapers and mail are received.
We had some juice, a toasted bagel with cream cheese and an espresso.
And we did a little Little Dog grooming this morning.
Did a little housework too.

STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME!

It is beautiful and HOT outside. Not quite 90 degrees today.
Quentin Tarentino Monday Matinee double feature!
“Jackie Brown” & “Pulp Fiction”

NOTE: We’ve seen both films many times. We tuned in mid-way into Jackie Brown, had the sound off for most of it as we surfed the interweb. Then we tuned into Pulp Fiction not long after it started and we watched some, muted it, paused it, watched some and then it was over and Bruce Willis rode away on Grace into the Hollywood sunset.

2:00pm: Waiting for the refrigerator guy.
(So, if we lay down to take a nap, the guy will come right?)
4:00pm: The refrigerator guy done come and gone.
The 3rd “Stranger” in the house in the same number of days…
Everyone who is not us is NOT WELCOME,
but we have to allow essential repairmen in, right?
And we need a new freezer now…. F*CK.
(a couple clicks, a PayPal later, and delivery is scheduled)
And we still need a nap.

6:30pm: More dog grooming, and playtime, and then suppertime!
And then more playtime! And now it’s nap time for the Little Boy.

9:15pm: And time to think about some Dinner food for us.
On The Menu: Last of the leftover chili with cheese and chopped onion, tater bites,
dill pickles, celery, carrots, avocado, red grapes, and a mango nectar drink

WE DID NOT WATCH NEWS TODAY! WE TRIED NOT TO READ NEWS TODAY!
Call it Monday “Mental Health” Day (we may make this an everyday habit)

Tuesday, April 27, 2020 – Day 43 of “Safer-At-Home” (Forced Lockdown)
And this is actually about Day 53 or 54 of our own Social Isolation!

And the Little Boy got a bath before bedtime at midnight, to complete the grooming day.
He’s been itching, scratching, licking and biting on himself all day, and he has a couple of spots that are very irritated from bug bites, so he’s wearing the “cone of shame” tonight.

3:00am: We were itching too. Whatever washed of the Little Boy jumped on us and was making us itch, so we took a nice hot shower and now we feel clean, sort-of-relaxed, and pretty good but we are still not tired enough to sleep. The Little Boy is asleep on the bed.
And we just drank an iced espresso, so no plan to go to bed anytime soon really.

7:00am: And we are up early. Up for an hour already. Fed the doggie.
And we’ve had a morning play session, which is a great way to start the day!
It’s TravelTuesday!
But, YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE, RIGHT?

STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME!

5:15pm Do Nothing Day.
We made breakfast around noon.
On The Menu: 2 eggs over easy, bacon, toasted egg bagel with cream cheese, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, red grapes, and an espresso to drink.

Tuesday’s Breakfast!

We slept for a little bit. We went outside with the doggie.
It’s beautiful and TOO HOT FOR HUMANS here in the San Fernando Valley today.
And it’s going to be HOT here for the next week too:

Weather for the SFV: Week of April 29 – May 5, 2020

6:00pm: The Little Boy is fed. We were outside before and after. Just put him down for a nappy, while we do some stuff that requires no dogs underfoot. He’s such a Good Boy!

NOTE: We have no idea what happened to the time between 7:00 – 10:30pm. So, three and a half hours (we know we played with the Little Boy until 7:00pm, and we continued to play with him in the Home Office until 10:30pm when we went to the kitchen) – oh wait, we did watch an episode of “Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates”, that we recorded, so that was an hour of programming… Tempus fugit!

10:45pm: We just ate some leftover Chinese food.
On The Menu: Broccoli beef reheated in bacon fat with garlic powder. Really good!
Here’s a pic of the Banana Bread we baked:

Wednesday, April 29, 2020 – Happy Hump Day!

2:00am: We did some midnight dog grooming, to finish what we started yesterday, and the Little Boy looks so pretty. And now he’s laying down in his cage, with the door open.

5:40pm: Still awake now.

9:15am: We slept for a bit. We have taken care of the doggie, we have brought the newspapers in, we have had an espresso, and we are back online. And it’s Wednesday.

“There is no end to the week, so there is no weekend” – James Corden

“Is this a…what day is this?”

10:30am: “The Price is Right” and “Let’s Make A Deal” is on while cleaning the Home Office. And then the news… NO THANKS. Dust, vacuum, clean, scrub, and rest.
And the mail came. A load of laundry and more vacuuming. Played with the doggie.
More vacuuming and we cleaned up the dog poop. Now it’s 1:00pm.

How’s your Wednesday?

5:00pm: We slept for a whole sleep cycle… Damn. So then we woke up.
Took the doggie outside. The gardener came and went while we slept.
We ate a toasted egg bagel with cream cheese and drank a cup of espresso.
Playing “fetch” inside with the doggie now and he’s so happy!
We are so happy, he looks so good, quarantine grooming was a big success!
Watching Melisa Etheridge’s daily 3:00pm concert (and this is DAY 45) from home and it rocks! She is also doing a special hour later (tuned in late, but we are watching it now).
SO GOOD! Such amazing talent and
Watching Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s daily press conference too. [MUTE]
And the pool guy just came and went. Now it’s almost time to feed the doggie.

7:00pm: And the doggie is fed. And we were outside. And he got a baking soda rinse because he’s been itching a lot – and he just interrupted us mid-blog again, because he wants to play some more – well, we aim to make him happy, so more playtime.
And also time for “Jeopardy”. And we just ordered a pizza.
On The Menu: extra-large pizza with sausage and meatball delivered.

12:30am: We ate half of the pizza. We took the doggie out again. We fell asleep.
We woke up an hour ago, took the doggie out again and put him to back to bed.

Our Happy Birthday Boy!

1:45pm: It’s been a nice day so far. Celebrating the Little Boy’s birthday today! He’s been getting non-stop attention and love since midnight. We’ve been outside. He got fed. He got played with. We went back to bed. We went outside. He got played with again. We went back to bed. Got the newspapers, got the mail, brought in the trashcans.
It’s beautiful and HOT again today here in the SFV, And we had more pizza for breakfast.

4:45pm: We had our afternoon nap and we been outside a few times. He’s been played with and we had snack time, now he’s under the desk chewing on a favorite toy. And we made an iced espresso, and brought in the afternoon delivery. We watched some internet stuff and now we are writing this Blog Post.

HELP THIN THE HERD

PUBLIC HEALTH WARNING: Crowds of morons gathering in public places!
And some states are beginning to reopen before the CoronaVirus Pandemic is over!
Georgia, Texas, and other states want businesses to open, and Trump’s GOP cronies are dangerously parroting him, encouraging ignorance and supporting the crazy protests.
Even Republicans in Washington D.C. are refusing to wear mask in public!

STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME!

“Mayo Clinic Forced To Delete Tweet
Telling Pence He Had To Wear A Mask”

Mike Pence toured the Mayo Clinic and DID NOT WEAR A MASK!
There was no “Social Distancing” and it was just a stupid political photo op!
Mike Pence ignored the hospital’s medical protocols and procedures!
Mike Pence is THE A**HOLE in charge of the Pandemic Response Team!

“I wear a mask in public, not for me, but for YOU. I want you to know that I am educated enough to know that, although I have been very careful, I could be asymptomatic and still give you the virus. I don’t “live in fear” of the virus– I just want to be a part of the solution, not the problem. I don’t feel the “government is controlling me”; I feel like I’m being a contributing adult to society and I want to teach children the same. I want them to grow up as I did knowing that the world doesn’t revolve around me… that it’s not all about me and my personal comfort…that if we all could live with the consideration of others in mind, this whole world would be a much better place. Wearing a mask doesn’t make me weak, scared, stupid or even “controlled”; it makes me considerate.”

Pay no attention to the Orange Turd behind the podium!

President Trump received more than a dozen warnings about the coronavirus outbreak in daily briefings in January and February, but continued to downplay the virus’ threat and severity the Washington Post reports – CNN

Trump was briefed about Coronavirus almost 4 months ago!
He called it a hoax, a conspiracy theory, and then ignored and lied about it!

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

AND THIS HAPPENED: (normally this would be important news)
The Department of Defense officially released three declassified videos showing Navy pilots with UFOS (“unidentified aerial phenomena”). The first occurred in November 2004, and the other two in January 2015. The videos were leaked long ago, but the DOD just acknowledge them officially! Yes there are UFOs! (take a minute to think on it)
