caturday oct 31 2020

This popped up in my ONE YEAR AGO Instagram memories… l was on my way to Madrid and Morcilla clearly didn’t want me to go. So I’m guessing she’s been loving her Covid year and having her human constantly at her beck and call.

It was also a little bittersweet remembering this trip to attend my friend José Pizarro’s book launch, back when it was possible to travel and when I had a job ETC ETC ETC. I wonder how it will feel looking back a year from now.

shut in

somosdebarras“Sorry for the inconvenience,
we are doing the impossible to open as soon as possible”

Since Sunday we have been put back into a State of Emergency, which apparently will last through to next May, though it’s not a total lockdown like in March and the situation will be reviewed every two weeks. This time there is a curfew between 11 pm and 6 am, which means bars and restaurants had to start shutting at 10 pm from last Sunday evening. We were told that regional governments (we have 17 of them) would have the option to move the curfew start time one hour either way.

And so while we were waiting for the first two weeks to pass and everyone was busy complaining about not being able to go out LIKE WE USED TO (I soooo want to just slap these people) we found out on Wednesday that beginning today (Friday) various municipalities throughout Spain would be shut in, meaning there would be no travel allowed in or out save for the following exceptions: to work, study, receive medical care, or care for a family member.

hola monday!

hola monday

I remember when I used to like Mondays because l loved my job, enjoyed my life. I always loved that “fresh new week” feeling, so full of possibilities. But now Monday is just a reminder that another week has passed without work or friends or plans. I mean I need a plan at least, in order to have some hope again.

And okay,  l do have some plans, but not any l can move forward with at the moment (so l need new plans). And l have friends, but l can’t see them, or when l do, l can’t hug them. And the financial stress situation doesn’t allow me the luxury of boredom. Anyhow, I’ve never been good at being bored. So I am in a constant state of WHAT TO DO NEXT?? without being able to do much. Other than try to come up with a plan.

Thing about making plans is that, w​hen you’re out and about in the world meeting people and doing things, other stuff often happens as a result, and inspiration or luck can be around the next corner. ​Trust me, I now know every corner of this apartment better than I ever wanted to and… nada. There’s nothing waiting around any of them.

Anyhow, I’m sure if it was Tuesday l wouldn’t be feeling like this.  😉

I just miss my old Mondays, which then reminds me how much I’m missing everything else. And learning yesterday that we’ll be in lockdown now until May… ufff.

Today was also a turning point when I learned that a friend of mine in Sevilla has Covid. Symptoms and all. It’s the first time someone I actually know has come down with the virus. Until now it’s been someone’s friend, family member or co-worker. But this is my friend. Someone I love very much. And so now it’s personal, Covid. Fuck you. And also fuck every anti-masker and idiotic herd immunity whack job, because you are why things have gone this far, and for so long. I despise you all.

How’s your Monday going?

Luna is sooooo in the dog house. She peed inside the coat closet, where l also store the ironing board and vacuum cleaner and OMG what a stench. Vacuum bits have now been washed, coats spritzed with azahar-bergamot water, closet floor and walls scrubbed and bleached, and the closet is airing out.

The culprit is presently hiding under the sofa and knows exactly what she did. No dinner for her tonight! (well l say that but will probably give in to those big blue eyes). And yes l know that cushion also needs cleaning. So did the cat litter box this morning. Which is why l think Luna protested today (she’s done it before, but still). It’s presently a stand off, meanwhile going to get a lock for that closet door.

was this absolutely necessary?
