I haven't had any haircuts since May.18th of 2018, because i'm a savage, haha. Mom thinks i should be ashamed of it, but i'm not! ("Keep your hands off my head", etc., etc.)
He is but he only accesses it through his public library so with the social distancing/stay at home directive, he has no way of checking in. I think Mischief brought that up when we first started with the covid craziness. I hope he’s doing ok.
This virus situation is giving me more time to think and I already have a major problem with rumination/overthinking!

It's the same for a large majority of people.
I also think that perhaps many people are also beginning to realise what is really important in life.
This high tech and social media world may not be as worthy as many have thought it was.
That is exactly what I'm thinking about, how I want my life to be different after this. I'm thinking about moving to the sea. I was listening to a podcast about vision boards and the first thing I would put on mine is a picture of the sea.
I was thinking about doing a vision board myself.

That is also what many therapists/specialists are saying; life will never be the same after Covid.
I think that is an excellent idea you moving to the seaside. That is also my dream; to live in or near Brighton&Hove. Perhaps doing an air B&B.
BTW, what is a vision board ?

Morning/afternoon y'all! I was up earlier today after a not very restful night. My mind just would not "shut down." It is going to be a hot day today and no rain so I will have to water my plants this evening. There are quite a few baby tomatoes on my plants and the pepper plant is getting ready to bloom! My big plan for today is to do my laundry.

I don't have any magazines or anything at the moment to make one. I might do one on Pinterest instead.

I get what you’re saying but I’m also wondering how it would be more difficult if I didn’t have the “connection” available to me through social media. I can’t imagine what it would be like if I wasn’t texting my daughters all day long or talking to you guys on this forum, and facebook for that matter.It's the same for a large majority of people.

But yes, it definitely makes one think more about what’s really important and how precious/fleeting life is.

That's not really what I meant when I mentioned FB,Twitter etc. It's the fact that social media has 'taken over' in the way we communicate and hence what is fundamentally important. Having thousands of 'friends' on social media isn't important. Having a handful in RL and when it is important is what counts.
Real and sincere connections and interactions are important. Being able to value simple pleasures is important.
Health is (or should be) above all, our number one priority and it's a shame that we had to have a pandemic to fully understand this.

I do hope life doesn't go back to 'normal' & am very hopeful that it wont. I think there will be positives to take from all of this.
Sent my grandma a care package today straight from amazon! She's in a care home/hospice. No idea if she'll like a colouring book & pencils but we will see (there's lots of other bits in there too.)

I finally get to order some new stamp albums. I'm out of space and so much stored in boxes etc. So I needed that so badly. The first one I didn't get any notification that i had ordered two, so I just ordered two from another place too. And suddenly I have four new on the way (two picked up tomorrow allready. ). I guess I have some space for a time now, and then I just need to figure out how to sort my Norwegian ones. I'm not happy on how they are now...
Tomorrow is my last day off work. It's been great weather all week, and Rime has gotten a lot of walks. I have had a pause from all agility practice and the dog club now for some weeks, and it has been great in fact. We have explored new areas in one of our favourite hiking places. I want to be familiar where every small path is going when the winter comes here. And we walked by Glomma yesterday, and it's been a couple of years since I was there last time.
And. I'm going to brag a bit in the health thread now.

My friend who has it had two negative tests until someone did it the proper way. I don't think the swab method they use is that great. It should feel uncomfortable and it didn't for my friend the first two times. Since it's been three weeks, you might be OK if you keep your distance. I did it a week ago when I dropped off a mask to another friend. (My mom made a bunch of them). And we chatted for about half an hour. It was so nice to see her as we hadn't seen each other since the end of February.That sounds so nice! My friend might come here on Sunday. We are going to go walking and wear our masks and will keep the appropriate distance.
I have t seen her since my last day of work which was March 17.
Although as I’m typing this, I wonder if it’s such a good idea. She just got over being really sick but tested negative for the virus. The said it could be a false negative because of how sick she was and she had to quarantine the full 14 days anyway. Sunday will be three weeks but I’m not sure I should chance it.
I know I am.
I was looking at my clematis the other day and I joked to my husband that it was a "dream come true" I'd always admired and coveted the deep purple blooms that I saw all around my former neighborhood. And now I have one that is gorgeous and thriving. It might seem silly, but it got me thinking about how lucky I am, how many of my dreams have come true, and how, if I should have to leave this world soon, I have no complaints.

Did you use one of these ?
Some of my friends already have a hard time of hearing even if in the same room.
LOL, no.Did you use one of these ?

We were about 15 feet apart, and I can be pretty loud when necessary. Did you use one of these ?

I should get one of those for myself. My husband would be delighted.

That is so sweet of you to think of your granny. The elder generation hold so much value and are like real gems.
