1. During First Unitarian's Evening Prayer Service via Zoom, one of the ladies opined that it was beginning to get to her this week. She'd been fine up to now, but for some reason this week she was a bit of a marshmellow, things were getting to her more and she was crying more easily. And I thought as she spoke, oh, I'm not the only one...this is good to know. ( where I decide to donate money to the First Responders Fund to cheer myself up )
2. It's raining now. A soft pitter pat against the A/C, and the upstairs nieghbors have stopped rolling about so much. The only other sound, if I listen is the whir of my air purifier. Even though I have the living room window open about six inches to let in a crisp cool breeze.
Today, it was mostly overcast and cool. So I ripped off the band-aid - of yet another anxiety - and went to pick up my prescription from the Pharmacy. ( Read more... )

What are they doing? Ah, the impossible - cleaning the subways, buses and trains every 24 hours. Why is this impossible? Well think about it for a minute. The subways, buses and trains run 24/7 without breaks. NYC is the only place in the world (that I know of) that has 24/7 public transportation.
So how to do this? Because if you are running the subways 24/7, it's kind of hard to do a thorough cleaning - particularly considering how many lines you have and how many stations.

The other thing they brought up - which the reporters and the President really should stop bringing up - is how the Governor is addressing the criticism that he didn't shut down soon enough. See? Every time they bring that up, they remind New York that the our stupid ass federal government did not take this virus seriously and look at what was going on in Europe and how it would affect the East Coast.( Read more... )
What else is New York doing? ( Read more... )
