Empty Datebook
Another lonely Saturday. The singles are all vexed—
a world of restless wallflowers, feeling they’re surely hexed.
If I may be candid, Corona’s not at fault.
You’re not some precious treasure, sealed up in a vault.
If we did our homework, we’d know the truth of it.
You didn’t have that many dates before the virus hit!
Prompts today are Saturday, Candid, Lonely, Vex and Homework.

Every day, my Google calendar comes up and says “Nothing scheduled for today.” I’d be shocked to see anything else except give the dogs their medicine.

I have felt that there’s lots of socializing between singles and the service people that we see on a daily basis — I really miss that! I’ve had a couple of Zoom meetings each weekend to break the monotony, and a couple of tele-health calls in the last week. Tomorrow a friend is coming over for a short visit — we’ll probably sit outside on the patio, and enjoy each other’s company, but it won’t be quite the same as before! And the days are all beginning to blend together — I THINK it’s Saturday right now ~ ~ ~

I woke up and didn’t know if it was morning, early afternoon or evening!! No idea whether i’d slept all night or white time I lay down on the couch to blog because my back was tired..And somehow I see at least one person a day..in the street, usually. I just noticed dogs had shredded my garbage that I’d hung high off the light pole on a hook I had installed. i think it’s still out there. I’ll deal with it tomorrow…

My penchant for procrastination is being well fed these days! Dealing with it tomorrow is something I say a lot, especially when all the days are the same!

You are so right, even Alexa stopped talking to me today. May be the bad words I used when I wanted classical music and I got Rap, but then she put my computer into “airplane mode” and I had to use my Air Mac. (they are coming to get us~!)

Ha. She’s a vengeful little thing but so handy. Problem is I keep forgetting her name so I feel like a Saturday Night Live character! Finally wrote it on a sticker and stuck it to my computer. Shhh. Don’t tell.

I have a bad habit of calling her elissa. I know that she does not like me, and most times the feelings are mutual~! But at least I have someone to yell at that will not answer back.

I call her Alicia! Finally wrote her name on a sticker and stuck it to my computer.
