We read that Walmart, Target, and Costco will only sell essential items now. I’m wondering what exactly that means. I mean, it is possible that a family who just got their government assistance check desperately need two t-shirts for their kids…essential? Could be argued. What about floor cleaner. Essential? Arguable. Clean is important. I mean, earrings – obviously not.
I haven’t seen a list but I’d like to get my hands on one.
Trump is trying to pull finding to the World Health Organization, but that’s not as insane as getting his name printed on the checks that are going out to most Americans. Get that. A candidate’s name printed on checks going to nearly Every American right before an election.
I have vivid dreams about stealing many intricate and beautiful miniature porcelain horses with my mom. We also scored blankets, expensive knife sets, books made from gold, and cabinets inlaid with precious metals…then we realized it wouldn’t all fit in my car so we gave some of it back.
I had a dream I had COVID and was ordered to recover in a Tuscan villa. It was really loud there and I thought I was delusional from sickness, but later I found out I was in the Tuscan-themed hotel room in the Peppermill Casino right above the gift shop.
And it’s a thing, these dreams. There’s a website called idreamofcovid.com and they’re cataloguing the weird dreams everyone is having. I heard about it on NPR, so I jumped on there and submitted mine.
There was excitement at Mom’s house. The bees swarmed and she ran around trying to get something to put them in. She found an extra super and put it on the ground next to the bees. They jumped right in. She zipped to the ranch store and got a top and bottom board for the super but when she got back, the swarm was gone. We may just order another package of bees since we have the equipment now. I ordered a new beehive too so I can split my hive before they swarm too. We are so happy we successfully got our bees to live through the winter, but so sad that we lost so many of them to a swarm. We added a honey super to the hive at our house to make ours feel like they have a little more room until my beehive comes next Thursday.
My hair is growing out with shiny silver, thick, wavy strands. Just one here and one there. My True Colors Shining Through. And I think it’s so beautiful, I stare at them in the morning.
And everything is busy. And everything is debatable. And everything is strange and beautiful and Spring is here and the world keeps turning and my hair shows my age.
But it means I’ve made it this far.
