Checking In

Today is Sunday May 24th, which is psychic awareness day in the Federation.   They have been talking these past few days about it being the closing period of Romadon.   I hope the celebrations went well.  This is the week they opened up the beaches in LA County finally.  You know about all the bars and restaurants and casinos that have been opened in California.  Things are loosening up little by little around here and in the rest of the country and the rest of the world.  You know about President Trump's threatening to override the orders of state governors when it comes to opening up churches.  Rachael Maddow cited numerous faces and figures to show that churches are really "dangerous places" as far as the spread of disease is concerned.  And when they are open it will be at a quarter capacity or something and no singing allowed.   We're up to about 97,000 deaths in this country so we are right on target.  Trump wants to hold some state visit in two weeks even though Washington DC has a high infecting rate.  Trump played golf for the first time since early March as a signal to the nation that all is well and things have gotten back to normal.

Around here it's been harder and harder to get cigarettes.  I got some Thursday and it was two packs.  But I ran out of them late Saturday morning and the nights are tough.  I'm used to getting up in the middle of the night to have one or two cigarettes these days.   In other news maybe we didn't cover,  one person suspected of Corona virus apparently doesn't have it.  She was taken off quarantine.  There has been a spike in deaths in Orange County lately and I don't know why.  I have gotten rid of two furniture items.  I had to give up my CD cabinet I had for over thirty years and I had it in my apartment.  I gave over the use of another bookcase to my roommate Joe so he could put his books in there since I got rid of so many books I took them out of all kinds of places.  But I have had no official inspection yet.  I've been taking Ativan for my nerves.  But I skipped the last two days just to see if I could get by.  It turns out I do much better with the drug.  I hope I"m not becoming addicted to it.  I've hardly been taking it any length of time at all.  That's all I really had to say now.
