All they can do is talk about how they can't find eggs, or they had to endure the market with 200 others (some social distancing, that) to not find what they want, or hand sanitizer, and when you say something like "Anyone ever hear of this thing called soap?" they unhumorously pile on you and that includes two former dear readers this very day. Here's the deal: If you've lost your sense of reality and/or humor, stay far away from me.Except, Dear Bruce, you aren't joking when you mention soap. It is appropriate if someone needs a ton of it for their home, however, when shown a small amount in a travel size bottle...sorry, not funny Says you. But I do understand that everyone has lost their ability to have a sense of humor - not this kid.

I called my doctor's office and it was recommended to me that I do not attend the funeral....so I am not.

I'll tell you the places that are not busy - gas stations. Empty. And yet these morons haven't dropped the prices as have everyone in every other state. It's outrageous, especially right now.

She liked David Copperfield many years agoThomas Hardy?Stella Gibbons?Stells Gibbons, yes. But I like my mother. Why would I give her or anyone else Thomas Hardy? Sorry, but I loathed Tess, Jude the Obscure, The Well-Beloved and Return of the Native. And I liked those more than his poetry.

It's cold, windy, and wet here today, so I opted for staying home. I made a falafel sandwich, using the falafel I'd saved from yesterday's falafel salad for today's sandwich. I don't mind staying in for a day or two, but some officials are suggesting two MONTHS. I'd go nuts. Plus, I need food!
I need to go into the surgeon's office tomorrow morning to pick up the Suprep. They will give it to me for free. If I go to my pharmacy, it's $150! Taxis and buses are cheaper. My biggest fear is that I will pick it up and they'll tell me to begin it as soon as I get home.
I was thinking either Gerald Durrell or A Gentleman in Moscow.
She loved Pat Conroy’s Beach Music, except for all the freaking profanity, five or six Trollope novels, Jane Austen, Balzac, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, except it was so sad, Elizabeth Gaskell, the Lark Rise to Candleford books.
Too true to be funny.
Speaking of voice recognition: a couple of years ago I received a voice mail from my friend Todd regarding our upcoming trip to NYC. According to the written transcript he said "there's a new show we might like called "Anesthesia.'" I thought that was a strange title for a show. Of course it should have been "Anastasia."
My auditions are four weeks away, so I am hoping things calm down in the meantime.
Today is my sister Linda’s birthday, too.

I like both of DR Jane’s book suggestions!
