Day #110 - Happy 4th of July for US
Jul. 4th, 2020 09:53 pmWatching the Macy's Fireworks Spectacular on NBC at the moment. What NYC did was go around during the week and record various fireworks displays. They didn't tell anyone where they were setting them off ahead of time - so no one could "congregate" to watch them. A reporter asked why not just show fireworks from previous years. But they thought it would be a nice surprise.
Meanwhile out my window they are also shooting off fireworks in the streets behind me. I could see them out my living room windows, lots of pretty colors in the sky - and far enough away that it wasn't dangerous to me, just the idiots setting them off illegally. I don't have animals, so no worries there. Very loud right now. It's illegal of course. I don't mind the pretty, but the loud bangs are annoying.
Also, spent the day watching the broadway musical "Hamilton" on Disney Plus, off and on all day, with a break to talk to mother, play on social media, take a walk around Greenwood Cemetery, dinner, and watching fireworks.
I didn't take a long walk around Greenwood Cemetery, too hot, and I was soaking wet when I got home. I took off around 3:45pm and got home around 5:45pm. Bright and sunny.
Hamiliton - is a brilliant and cleverly written satirical indictment of the Founding Fathers, the construction of the US, and what it was build upon. ( Read more... )
I still feel like I'm being gaslit by a virus. (Or by people who don't think it is a big deal.) ( Read more... )
Mother also told me about my cousins - the two that I've met and actually have interacted with when I was much much younger. ( Read more... )
Anyhow. I'm hanging in there. Meditation helps. As does writing. Talking to folks on the phone and online, and walking around a cemetery. (I'm a bit of a loner anyhow, so it's not that big a deal for me.) Using this time isolated in my space to draw strength and knowledge, and not let the busy busy world outside push me out of it until I'm ready. That said, I do walk around the neighborhood, say hello to folks, and today I got groceries again from Carnival's fruit and vegetable stand - which is actually easier to shop in than the other grocery stores in the area - less people and more social distancing. More and more of my neighbors are social distancing and wearing masks.
I leave you with...
