COVID-19 check in thread

We were supposed to have a family member parade thing at the nursing home today, and we made a sign blew up some balloons, but my stepfather doesn't feel good so it's canceled. They've been bringing a few of the residents outside every afternoon for the past few days so they can see their families from a few feet away.
 
Today is my granddaughter's birthday (she's 11) and my wife and I did a happy brthday rap/dance video for her, (along with about thirty other friends and family) and sent them to my daughter. She's compiling them today for a massive birthday video.

I whined about doing it at first, but after a glass of wine had a good time :bigass:
 
I'm a little at the pissed off stage right now. And pissed off over the dumbest littlest things. Like, I want to watch a show to escape, but much of the pre-covid stuff is pissing me off. Or like even when I thought, "I'll watch Sabrina" I looked at it and just thought, nah, that seems too normal now. I'm starting to realize that it is going to take a lot longer than any of us would like. We might open back up again, but at what cost and what caution?
I'm fine, I'm just having a moment.
I watched something tonight that talked about re-calibrating our expectations. It was completely spot on and I know that is what I need to do.
 
Great British Bake-Off is great therapy TV. The genial atmosphere, nobody is a jerk (okay Paul Hollywood is sometimes but he's benign) -- even the music is calming.
 
Good news! According to the IRS website it looks like I'm going to get my stimulus payment direct deposited on May 20th. As soon as I know I got the stimulus payment I'm ordering my new bed and laptop. Bad news I won't be going back to work until june 1st.
