Many of us have an FP with missed opportunities, like a date you had to cancel because you came down with a cold, or a special credit project that would have cinched a promotion at work, only your biggest rival got to the boss first.

With me, it was an Erector set.

no image description available — Not a softball...

Laying low.

Cut back on visits to the farm, so they include quarantine time.

Lots of time online.

Lots more sleep.

Regular visits to the grocery store.

Resisting overeating.

My FP? Trump is still free to move around, infecting people.

What’s your’s?

Despite the tragic news about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, we still have a pandemic happening. I’d like to hear your thoughts on the vaccine(s), when you think they will happen, will you get it, etc.

As with all my WYFP diaires, this is an Open Thread, so feel free to post about your other problems.

And how about some new author/hosts stepping up?

Went out to the farm. Two of the restaurants we frequent are up for sale, one is closed for remodeling, but the Culver’s in Freeport has reopened its dining room with reduced capacity. We will find out about the one in Winnebago on the way back to Chicago this afternoon.

Update: The Culver’s in Winnebago still has their dining room closed.

In the area of broken records, we are still in need of author/hosts:

So yesterday I had a 3-month followup with my primary care physician, and I managed to get him to sign off on getting a COvID-19 antibody test yesterday (Friday). Happily, the result was negative, which makes me happy I didn’t catch it from my brother-in-law. He was sick back in February/early March with what he thought was a nasty case of the flu, but had been tested recently and was positive for the antibodies. I recommend that if you can, get tested to have a baseline, and consider it a thumb in Bunker Boy’s eye.

In more regular news, I’m recommending that we all tag WYFP Open Thread on a regular basis, because it is, by it’s nature, an open thread, and will possibly bring more eyes to the series.

Oh, and here’s what we have open for host/authors:

So, what’s your f***ing problem?

WYFP? Happy haircut...

I could use a haircut.

I’m looking like a cross between Senator Bernie Sanders and the late, great Al Lewis when my hair gets mussed. I haven’t gone this long without a trim since I was in college, where it hit my shoulders before I got it cut. Even though my hair is less, um, “voluminous” now, I’m tempted to let it grow out to see if it will reach my shoulders. I’m also tempted, once SuperCuts is open for business, to have it trimmed to a buzz cut (hey, it works for our eldest nephew, but he’s a ship’s engineer on a submarine!) since we may encounter virus flare-ups that would put us back in quarantine.

That’s my f*cking problem. What’s yours?

I declare this an Open Thread.

WYFP: Escape to Orangeville!

Dome living room, with Mr. Pine, through front hall arch. — Mr.Pine stands guard...

So it’s been like a month since we went out to the new house, what with Governor Pritzker’s XO to hunker down. Calamity Jean wanted to check on Mr. Pine (the Norfolk Island Pine she inherited from her mother) and generally check things out.

We got a late start, but made good time (no traffic), getting to Cub Foods in Freeport just 15 minutes to closing (they changed their hours to allow store staff to stock the shelves unencumbered by shoppers intercepting TP and other items of great interest before they hit the shelves). The real surprise was the Belvidere Oasis, where all the tables and chairs had been removed; food was available, but you had to take it out of the pavilion, and not eat inside. It was almost like a ghost town. We got a simple dinner, ate in the car, and then headed for Cub, getting some microwave meals for tonight and some items for breakfast today and tomorrow. We head back to Chicago tomorrow morning.

My FP? You know…

Well, here we are, hunkered down in Chicago. We went grocery shopping yesterday, and I observed that many of the employees at the Jewel/Osco we frequent were quite fed up with the situation. I recommended voting Democratic in November. The juxtaposition of sale tags (buy 2, get a third free) and signs asking customers to limit purchases of some other items (eggs, milk, TP) to one per customer was interesting. There was still stock on the shelves in the latter case, and empty spaces in the former. We are spending our time watching YouTube videos, and doing some small number of chores. We are not going out to the farm this weekend and next to comply with Gov. Pritzker’s edict.

This is an open thread. How are you hunkering down?
