Thursday Things

Family XOXO

We zoomed and THIS is one of the positives to come from the quarantine.  Standing Wednesday zoom call with the ladies in the family -- with a few cameos from the men.  Further apart, yet closer together.

My other happy hour call got postponed.  Long story -- trying for Saturday.  50/50 shot on it happening, but whenever it does, it'll be fun.

I have my coaching call this morning -- got the email reminder.  Update tomorrow.

*Rant Alert*

Yesterday was challenging.  I watched my neighbor have her personal trainer over in her garage -- standing close, interacting (why couldn't that be a virtual training session??).  I saw my neighbors standing close, petting a dog, chatting away.  I stood up for "doing the right thing" with the rescue group who was "open" to an adoption of a popular dog 10 hours away.  It's a friend of a new foster and this would be a favor.  Favor??  During a quarantine?  Unessential travel ... nope.  I was polite, but I NEVER stood down.  It's an active, loud Trump supporter who thinks it's fine and she argued in the way that Trump does (aggressively, without merit) -- I'm not having that right now.  The adoption was denied -- smarter heads prevailed -- after HOURS of back-and-forth.

AND, there is a RIGHT thing to do.  I'm not in the camp that people should be allowed to act how they want and we shouldn't make a right/wrong judgement.  THINK however you want.  ACT according to the law and ACT like a responsible citizen and be part of the solution.  We are all living in a SOCIETY and sometimes we have to act beyond ourselves.

AND, I haven't met a loud Trump supporter who isn't fighting this quarantine -- I live in Trump land.  Maybe there are some, but not in my outer social circles (rescue peeps, neighbors).  THIS is not about politics and I won't stand passively on this issue.

Phew.

*Rant Over*

I'm not grocery shopping today.  Hubby has another day of calls and I can't make it all happen in-between (I'm on dog duty).  We're also postponing date night because he has an evening call too.  Shopping and movie tomorrow.

Looking for GOOD things was fun and I'm going to continue -- especially looking for good things that are a direct result of the quarantine.  It offsets the frustrating things that are the result of the quarantine - hah.  I had a big, healthy dose of GOOD yesterday and, boy, did I need it (!!)

I painted my nails bright pink.  I bought the polish just as all this was starting since I figured I'd need to paint my toes.  I don't wear color on my fingers, but if there was ever a time to try new things, it's now.  It's fun.  It won't last long, but I like it for a minute.

Time for dogs.  Stay well.  Later gators.
