1) Yesterday an allegedly peaceful protest turned into a riot right here in Reno.
2)
Only 23 arrests were made, despite the number of break-ins, graffiti
markings, car fires and other misc. crappy law-breaking activities.
3) The chaos resulted in curfews for last night and tonight.
4) On the bright side, this has been my most social week since the lockdown.
5) Visited with my friend Cindy today - she gave me plants, and we chatted for four hours while social distancing on her patio.
6)
I planted the plants she gave me just a few minutes ago. After
finishing up, went inside, washed my hands and looked outside to see it
was pouring rain - in other words, I escaped the inevitable melting that
would have occurred had I gotten wet.
7)
With a curfew in place, it seems an appropriate time to sit down and
watch a few hours of TV without anyone to interrupt me but Schmutzy.
I know. I know. It has been AGES since I last posted.
I was notified of a data breach, and changed my password. Then I started reading through old blog posts and man oh man, it dawned on me what a bad memory I have. So many things I forgot about!
I'm blogging again for posterity - for memory retention.
I have nothing much interesting to say today - I've been furloughed since April, and I am hoping and praying I get called back into work. In the meantime, I'm just trying to enjoy the time off.
I'm looking for work, but there isn't much out there in the admin field. Not yet... hopefully that changes soon as more and more places open up.
Today is our first "hot" day of the year. It got up to 93 today, so I had to buckle down and finally turn on the A/C. Cheapo homie doesn't like having to run the a/c - but hey, it's better than sweating like a stuck pig inside a hot house.
This has been my most social week in ages - one of the groups I belong to decided to get together for a social distancing evening at Rancho San Rafael on Tuesday. We all brought chairs and sat approx 6 feet apart from one another.
It was a really good time, once everyone stopped talking about Covid and wet markets and all that depressing stuff.
Yesterday I met a friend for a walk, and we were able to catch up on a lot of stuff.
Saturday I have plans to meet another friend for some social distancing on her back patio.
I got myself an Acorn subscription and I think I've pretty much watched everything I wanted, so it's time to cancel and move on to BritBox.
See? Nothing much interesting, but I guess that happens when one is pretty much stuck at home.
Although, that's not entirely true! Last week the Salvation Army thrift shop opened, so I went there and spent a little bit of money. This week I went to Moana Nursery and spent a little more to get my garden spruced up.
I should post pictures. Maybe later.
In the meantime, I hope to make this blogging thing a more regular occurrence, seeing how easily I seem to forget important (and not-so-important) moments in my life.
