1. Well, period started - exactly 34 days from the start of the last one. I'm guessing this means they are dwindling? But I don't know. The Headspace Wake Up discussed "uncertainity" as its theme this morning, and how it was important to just accept the fact that you don't know anything and life is basically uncertainty, and just embrace it. I'm not entirely sure uncertainty can be hugged or embraced, but whatever.
It occurs to me today...still alive and still healthy (believe it or not) in Epidemic Central ( Read more... )
Uhm, I think I forgot what I was leading up to? I kind of trailed off into a really depressing sub-tangent didn't I? Sorry about that. My mind is attempting to dump all the crap it took in today on my journal.
Anyhow, what occurred to me today, after reading a friend's journal - is that this is kind of a really twisted take on my ideal situation - or a be careful what you wish for scenario. ( Read more... )
2. Finally skimmed Entertainment Weekly - which is now issued monthly as opposed to weekly. They just rename it Entertainment Monthly. (I think we already discussed this in an early post, long long before COVID-19 raised its ugly head.)
What I realized while reading or rather skimming it, it has tiny print and wasn't that interesting, was that I don't share any of the current pop culture interests or trends. As my mother pointed out, I've never been much of a Lemming, even when it comes to pop culture. The more hyped it is - the less interested I tend to be.
"Tiger King" - the story about the nasty guy who has Tiger's and was murdered, doesn't interest me at all. I'm not quite sure why it fascinates everyone else. But if you are wondering why you are having issues with Netflix at the moment - it's because all these people are binge watching Tiger King - a documentary style series about a guy who owns tigers and was fed to them. (At least I think that's what it is about from a SNL skit and skimming a review here and there.)
Also no interest in Supernatural. I watched six seasons possibly seven, then gave up. There are no women characters - it's basically a bro-romance between three men.
Which was really entertaining up to a point. Also I like urban legends. But then they kind of ran out of story, and I don't like that horror all that much, so gave up.
There's a lot of other rather dark series they list that I just can't get interested in. I want to watch fluffy cartoons on Hulu and Disney at the moment. I might even binge the fourth season of Veronica Mars. I don't want dark stuff or violence right now though, nothing that frustrates or angers me. Nice and fluffy.
It's very odd. I considered taking up Outlander again - but I think it would frustrate me. And I want fluffy, damn it. I can't be the only one out there who wants fluffy?
Although, admittedly, I'm not entirely sure Rosewell, New Mexico counts as fluffy? And I'm enjoying that. I'm moody I admit this.
3. Read a disturbing article in the NY Times... CoronaVirus in America: The Year Ahead.
What disturbed me was this:
( pardon me for sharing my terrors with you all )
4. Off to watch Zooey's Extraordinary Playlist and possibly more Steven Universe. The plus side of this - is I can get up at 6:30 am instead of 5:45 am, meditate every morning, make breakfast, fix tea, and clock in. It's peaceful. Also I don't have to check the weather or the rail and road report.
I rarely watch the broadcast news any longer. My sources are New York Times and the Governor of NY and the John Hopkins Site.
Also, now that the old period has started, my cravings and moods have stabilized. The depression, irritability, etc were caused by PMS, along with skin outbreaks, hot flashes, flushing, and a sinus headache. Perimenopause kind of makes it worse and makes it last longer.
Being a woman is a pain in the ass. Just saying.
