It's interesting to watch just how many people in my neighborhood are having trees taken down lately! Guess they all got their stimulus checks
I've been trying to have a pleasant couple of days with Hurricane Joshua. We've been working on painting a somewhat large rock that my husband found buried in the backyard last year. We've taken a few trips with my mom to buy flowers and Josh picked one out for himself.
I finally signed up for
Amazon Prime Video because I've wanted to watch Good Omens since I first heard about it. Neil Gaiman is my favorite author and I absolutely LOVE David Tennant and Michael Sheen! They totally nailed it. Now we've started watching Carnival Row...there were a few other shows I noticed in passing and the trailer for Upload sounds intriguing as well. As far as movies, I'm trying to get Josh to sit down and watch School of Rock - I bet he'd love it. And he's looking forward to the new Scooby-Doo movie coming out tomorrow.
Today the CT Air National Guard was scheduled to do a fly-over to salute the healthcare workers in our state. Our town was the last on the list. So we made sure we were outside at the scheduled time and even though he was late, we saw him! Joshua was SO excited; I took a few photos of the plane (flying low) and then quick got a photo of the pure joy on my child's face. But then I made the mistake of going on our town's open forum on FB...I am so saddened by the lack of gratitude and kindness of my fellow residents. So many people complained, "Wow, everybody else gets a whole squadron, they get jets...we get one lousy cargo plane." REALLY??? They did something nice mainly for the HEALTHCARE WORKERS, not us in the general population but we were lucky to see it, and that's the response they get? They didn't have to do anything at all! I thought it was really cool and the look on my kid's face was wonderful. I seriously am starting to hate this town. Of course, these are the same miserable people that are all for shaming - they try to post photos on the town forum of people not wearing masks, of people who don't go the correct way in the grocery store or - *gasp* - go down an aisle while someone else is in it. The same people that complain about the line at Starbucks - "Why is there such a long line? Aren't we supposed to be staying home?" (our Starbucks is giving FREE coffee to healthcare workers, that's why there's a line) - but get angry when someone points out, "But you're in the line, too...?"
Question of the day: 5/13 (Thanks to PollyannaMom!!) Which celebrity would like to have a "Zoom lunch date" with?
So you'd think I'd immediately say "Simon LeBon from Duran Duran," right? I've only had a crush on him for 39 years. (OMG, 39 YEARS???
) But I'd be too tongue-tied.
Hands down, I wanna meet Wil Wheaton. We're almost the same age, we have a lot of the same interests, we both struggle with depression and anxiety, and he just seems really down to earth and friendly. I'd love to be friends with him.
) DH really wanted a cut, too, so I gave it a whirl and it actually came out really good! He was very happy with it. Trying to talk DS into letting us try cutting his but so far he is holding out and waiting for his regular barber to open again, lol. (And of all of us he probably needed one the most!) So it was really satisfying to see that we could actually do it!
with the heater on for a week first lol.
This question gave me anxiety just thinking about it.
