shadowkat1. Watched the flick A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood via On Demand. It was the most positive film I could find. Also took place in 1998. I miss the 1990s.
Anyhow, it's a moving film about a magazine writer who interviews Fred Rogers for a story - and Rogers instead helps the man deal with his relationship with his father.
I cried during it. Very cathartic.
2. Managed to not go out today. And limited my sugar intake for the most part, just dark chocolate and an apple. Oatmeal (unsweetened except by the almond/coconut milk). Left over pasta with walnuts. Apple and almond/walnut butter and semis sweet chocolate morsels melted. Water. Not bad. Oh and salted popcorn.
Watched my church service via their Facebook Livestream App. They are now doing online worship services with just the staff. (Five people). In what appears to be a small space with a piano. It's not the sanctuary, not sure where it is. You can access by Zoom or Facebook. It was lovely and interactive. We had little hearts flood up the side of the screen at various points and a chat along side.
Church has also put in place a "How to Care for Each Other" directive. You fill out the survey and tell them how you'd like to be cared for, and what you can or are willing to do to help. Items include - getting supplies for people, texting them or calling them to check in, hosting Zoom hang outs, calling uber or lyft for someone in need. Also telling them what you need. I told them I'd like to have someone check in with me once a week by text. And I'd like to do the same.
I found this very reassuring.
Also checked in with Wales, who apologized profusely for abandoning me last weekend to my own devices during the movie Emma. But she's doing well, otherwise.
3. Spring appears to be here. The red maple outside my window is in bloom. Little red leaves sprouting from it. Soon it will turn to green. And the yellow flowering bushes are in bloom as well.
It's a beautiful blue sky gently fading into twilight. I thought of going out into it, but decided I'd been wandering around a wee bit too much this week.
4. Trying not to worry too much about work. It's hard. My job is difficult to do from home. And my workplace hasn't suggested we do it yet. I work out of a major transportation hub. With international and state and city travelers going in and out of it daily. I don't know what it will be like tomorrow.
Also trying not to worry that I didn't get enough water (irrational, I know) or other items. It's just worry.
Wales: I have no imagination. With yours - you must be going crazy.
Me: Yep. And it does not help that I've was writing a sci-fi novel with this scenario, albeit it was far worse. Or that I've read quite a few and seen them. I already know what will happen next - that's the problem.
Mother: I feel like I'm in science fiction movie.
ME: Yep, and I want better writers.
