Aftershocks are still happening since the 5.7 earthquake.
Yesterday a 4.2 aftershock about 9pm.
Update: Apr 16: Another aftershock at 4.2 mag at 7:40am. I felt that one while getting ready for work.
Got internet for the house for the first time in my life. One for the history books. Internet for the first time in 2020. Call it a birthday present.
Takes nothing less than a pandemic for me to be willing to pay for internet.
Lots more things to do when I'm bored, a way to connect to people so I don't drown in fear or depression, opportunity to take some online classes, and giving me the opportunity to work from home if I need to.
Did I mention internet is a huge time suck? Partly the reason I didn't have it before.
My birthday is coming up.
Feliz's birthday too. Kinda sucks to watch a 7yr old have a virtual bday party and lack of presents. I went out and bought lots of presents for her just to spoil my baby girl. She's not getting much else. A birthday party with her siblings and cake and ice cream. Jackie just had his virtual bday party that they particpated in. Nicky says the worst part of a virtual bday party is no cake and ice cream for party guests, only the birthday person.
I've been gorging on desserts this week. By the end of COVID-19 I think we'll all have gained 19 pounds. Stress eating and celebratory food for my bday since nothing else is gonna happen on my bday. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Kind of mourning my bday or lack thereof. I usually go out and do something special, something fun. I was planning a little stay-cation within the state, a long weekend, but not anymore... Now its a perpetual stuck in my house thing. I've expressed my depression of my birthday and my age to others and they have surprisingly stepped up in trying to make me feel better about it. I appreciate it. I feel cared about. They know I like excuses to travel, do things, have fun, and how sad it is for me when I can't. Its like they know me a little bit.
On a positive note my stimulus check from the government came today direct deposit. Hey, if Trump is giving out money to stimulate the economy into working again... I'll take it. Since I'm not travelling this year I guess I can focus on paying off my mortgage.

"Millennials are not partying. We and our anxiety issues are holed up working from home, watching Hulu, and yelling at our parents not to go outside. It's Gen Z you want."
"A note to society: Please stop saying that Millennials are behaving irresponsibly and risking the spread of the virus by springbreaking in Florida. Most of us Millennials are in our 30's, haven't had college springbreak in 8-12 years, have bad backs, and are sitting in our makeshift home offices trying to teach our older colleagues how to videoconference. I don't know who those kids are on the beach, but it ain't us. Our student loan debt wouldn't even allow us to take a week-long vacation..."
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
How weird is 2020?
