Corona-Crazy

I'm pretty sure I'm losing the last few shreds of my sanity. I've laughed entirely too much today over things that aren't even really funny. No, drinking wasn't involved...and, while I AM entirely sleep deprived, I don't think that has a whole lot to do with it either.

But when my best boyfriend (our parents met in childbirth class when they were pregnant with us...and we had the same due date) posted on social media that he would kill for some pho and I immediately responded with "pho real?" and then dissolved in hysterical, slightly maniacal laughter, I knew I was close to the edge. So did he because he almost immediately texted me saying, "You want to Zoom in a little while?" My hero! He and his wife and I had what can only be described as an adventure on our video chat. Bless his heart...he's really become "one with his emotions" these days and it resulted in a lot of laughter (us) and more tears (not us). Bless.

I get the keys to my new apartment tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I'm excited about this but I'm also kind of nervous. It's a huge leap of faith, renting an apartment sight unseen. I've seen floor plans and a virtual tour of a similar unit but it's not the one I'm moving into and I'm not sure what to expect. I really hope it doesn't suck.

Today I was on a Zoom call with my two partners in crime, brothers that I work with, when one of them and I got an email, simultaneously, to fill out a reference request for my work bestie. While we all understand that she is ultimately looking for something closer to home I, selfishly, don't want her to leave. I 100% wouldn't blame her at all but it's my hope that she hears me when I say "Why would you want to trade something that's at least KNOWN for something that's unknown?" She agreed...fingers crossed!

So, as I sit on the couch and contemplate whether I will go to bed before my new typical bedtime (between 2:00 and 3:00) I have "Pride & Prejudice" on in the background. This movie captivates me every single time I watch it. I don't know why I'm obsessed with it lately but I catch some little nuance I previously missed each time it's on...like just now when Darcy and Lizzie are dancing and then, all of a sudden, they become the only two in the room. LOVE.

Since sleep escapes me I find that I look forward to midnight each night...so I can see what my timehop/memories are on social media. Yes, I am perfectly aware that I'm the lamest of the lame but some of them make me giggle because they're adorable (usually kid quotes/conversations) and some of them are downright HILARIOUS. One of my favorite ones popped up the other day and it simply said, "Oh, men wearing backwards baseball caps and/or driving big trucks...why must you tempt me?"

Still true....SO true. That's my freaking kryptonite. But honestly backwards or forwards makes zero difference to me. It's just hot.

There are a lot of memories that highlight my innate fear of birds and people mocking that very real, and entirely understandable, fear. Birds are gross. They're creepy and they stare and what the hell is up with owls whose head spin all the way around? THEY NEVER BLINK and they're just eerie when they hoot.

The only hoot I like is Hootie and the Blowfish and I stand by that statement...band and solo career.
