It was when I was catering, so only vaguely at a restaurant. There was a group at our site for a week and they had seated, buffet meals for each meal, separate from the rest of the groups we served during that week. They always had salad included, but generally didn’t eat it.

Oh goodie, so I can be surprise allergic to it the same way I was surprise allergic to the walls in my college dorm (horsehair insulation, whoooo). 

I was so confused I was hoping it was a different Jane Goodall I was unfamiliar with. 

It all just tastes like cilantro anyway.

Perfume is a different animal. That is a joy that even pandemics can’t quash. 

Oh yeah, absolutely. I like how it couldn’t POSSIBLY be that I exist this way and that I have to have brought it upon myself with that evil make up wearing and that I must just lay in the sun constantly. 

It’s visible capillaries. My mom has it too, so did most of the women on that side of the family. Genetics whoo?

Yeah, I also pretty much use the stuff forever, but we’re verging on almost a decade I think for some of this. Maybe I’ll keep the expensive stuff.

I really need to clean out my make up drawer. There’s eyeshadow in there that’s so old even if it’s nice I should not be using it. 

I’m very, very pale and have always had very red sensitive skin—even pictures of me as a kid I’m always flushed and red.

I was going through the photos on my phone, trying to delete some of the 5000 pictures of my dog and free up some space.

Really needs to pull itself up by the bootstraps.

I mean, I don’t have kids either, for the exacting reasons parents are finding this really rough right now. I don’t do overwhelmed well. I’m regularly failing at the idea of feeding two people three square meals a day and that’s with my least picky eater ever boyfriend.

PA just announced that they are doing curbside pick up for orders from state stores.

PA just announced that stores throughout the state are open now for call in for curb side pick up!

The protestant work ethic and associated guilt when not fulfilling that is REAL. Particularly since I’m essentially just on paid leave and my boyfriend actually has to work (albeit from home). So I feel I should be DOING something other than becoming one with my couch, considering how many people are worried about…

Yeah, I get why they closed (they are state employees, and the state is really specific about what is essential. And most state store employees are 50+), but it is definitely challenging for all the reasons you mentioned. An evening drink is how I mark the ‘day’ over and it seems to help me keep sane.

It’s the productivity shamers that are getting to me. Look at the THINGS you could be DOING. Look at all the STUFF you could be LEARNING.

My friends and I were just discussing liquor rationing and resources running low.

Having a camera is really helpful in these situations! My upstairs neighbor when she first moved in complained about my dog a lot (even though she has two large dogs who barked endlessly for about a week when she first moved in. They’ve adjusted and are fine now). How he barked constantly and wanted to attack…
