The mascara that I don't use but got for free will go to the woman in bell choir that I thought would use it. (She exclaimed "I love free samples!" when I offered it, so I guess that was good).
I had a free small-pizza coupon (birthday premium) from Marco's so I decided to blow it (and my weekly sodium budget) tonight and get a pizza, to try to make myself feel a little happier.
I came home and hugged my big Kirby and that helped a little. And I got 40 minutes of piano practice in for today and may do a bit more if I have time between dinner and Bell Choir.
I dunno. I still can't decide about whether to travel or not. Especially not now that the word is "lots of people may be walking around with this thing" and also my speculation that the death toll in certain groups was as high as it was in China because air pollution was worse and many, many older Chinese men have been lifelong smokers (I would need to see the death rate among Chinese WOMEN, among whom the rate of smoking is apparently considerably lower).
On the other hand: if my mom's decided to go into full lockdown mode and wants only to do minimal grocery shopping and is unwilling to go out and do stuff? Maybe I do postpone until May and stay here this week and just mostly stay home and work on quilt tops.
But, man. I wish this disease outbreak had not happened. I know the people who actually lost somebody even more wish it hadn't happened. I am just....there has just been so much local-to-me and "global" bad news in the past six months and I'm exhausted and sad and frankly prayed-out.There's just so much chaos and what I need is calm.
I am going to try to go to bed early after bell choir tonight but it's hard, there's so little "free time" I have in a day now and I don't want to spend it all sleeping.
