Sheltering in Place

Or being a superhero

Stacy brought home a tick from her hike today. She wanted to give me some space for the phoner, et.al. She noticed it driving down the highway, brushed it off and threw a bandanna over it. Now it's gone, nesting quietly in my car somewhere. She vacuumed the car but didn't see it. Tick can live up to 2 years without feeding, however they are prone to intense heat and my car, being black, can get in the 100s if left in the sun. So that's what we're doing with it now. Hopefully that tick will cook quickly.

Aren't you dosing with Advantix?

[Drunk Monk]

um...no

are you?

[Greg]

We've been finding ticks on the dogs. It's always scary. They are the one bug that scares me since they are so hard to kill and they burrow into your skin.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

Word.

It's that tall grass. When we did the hike yesterday, I saw two on the trail and was staying well away from the grass. I just hope that one in my car is dead. I hate ticks.

day 74: zoom meeting for imort first thing this morning. then off to get a job-seeking haircut at the home of the dear ms. peggy-o. then to my mom's to check in with her. hope that tick is dead.

a footnote: we have not received any mail delivery since thursday. anyone else experiencing this? we're expecting a paycheck and some other important documents.

[Greg]

Still getting our mail. We have missed the occasional day but that might just be that we had no mail.

I think our mail delivery is a bit off, but we have a new carrier recently and she's not as good as the old one. But I feel like this week's New Yorker is way late, and I'm waiting for a form that my brother already received.

And earlier you were worried about walking on the sidewalk in your neighborhood because it was too crowded, and now you're going to someone's house for a haircut?

[Drunk Monk]

i know. such double standards in covid world. i still give strangers a wide berth. not comfortable with the arrangement, but there's not a lot of options. but i gotta find work soon or things will get really hard and that means i must neaten up for interviews.

hair salons are opening up here in the cruz. i never thought hair would be so essential. but that's my own issues with hair, obvs.

day 75: errands for my mom - restock her ensure and some groceries, then head home for an imort zoom meeting this afternoon.

stacy said we did not get mail again. it's been nearly a week. we are waiting on several important documents including her coffee shipment. she ran out yesterday and verve was closed mysteriously. i'm kinda glad i'm not there this morning.

Day 76: trip to sf! Stacy has a dental appt in the marina. I’m tagging along for support and just to be in city for a few hours.
