Much with the meh-ness. And memes.
I owe a number of emails to friends and family members and I just can't summon the mental energy to be chatty and compose said emails. Two has driven me batshit with his poor attitude for academics and physical therapy, MiniPlu has driven me nuts with miscommunication issues, and I just want to get far away from people and never talk to them again except of course that's not possible. Also, perversely, I'm jealous of people who have local friends to miss, because I don't have any. I don't have anyone to zoom-chat except my mom and Paint Nite teachers. I miss working, I miss TKD because I'm doing badly at training on my own, and I'm helpless to make the situation any better for MiniPlu and her missing milestones. Camp has been cancelled (not surprising but disappointing) so no summer job for Two and no camp for all the trans/gender-variant kids who deserve it. We're supposed to have unseasonably cold weather the next two nights which means I might lose the plants I planted. I'm debating applying to library school but I'm terrified it's the wrong decision.
And there's just no end in sight.
So, rather than provide any real updates (aside from the whining), I did a meme, courtesy of brumeier:
Favorite movie: FotR, RotJ, Princess Bride, Clue, How to Train Your Dragon 1 & 2, a bunch of Disney movies.
Movie that makes you remember your childhood: The Cat From Outer Space, The Parent Trap (original version)
Favorite Tom Hanks movie: Toy Story 2 (If you want a live-action movie, then Apollo 13.)
Movie that makes you cry: I don’t cry often. Movies where someone dies, if it’s going to happen. I used to cry during Darth Vader’s funeral pyre every time but I don’t anymore. I do remember crying so much at the end of RotK I could hardly see my way out of the theater afterwards.

THE ABC'S OF YOU
Age: 48
Bed size: Queen
Cat names: Gem, Dessa, Nick and Sophie
Dog name: Jade
Eye color: Dark brown
Favorite color: Blue, but I love most any jewel tones.
Ghosts exist: I’m open to the possibility
Height: ~5'4 1/2" (163.8cm)
Instrument you play(ed): piano and flute, neither very long.
Jealous type: Sometimes
Kids: MiniPlu (17 3/4) and Two (16 1/4)
Longest relationship: Been with Will for 23.5 years, married 22.5 years.
Mood currently: Meh
Night owl: Up until about midnight or so.
Overnight hospital: Oct 2006, treatment for CMV (cytomegalovirus).

Right or left handed: right
Siblings: Twin brothers, deceased (one after birth, one in 1987).
Top 2 TV shows you watch: NCIS, only because Will watches that on Netflix a lot. There isn’t really much I watch on my own. I’m a sucker for Say Yes to the Dress but I don’t have cable anymore.
Vacation plans?: Austria (cancelled). Ireland (cancelled).
Who will play along?: whoever wants to
XBox or PS4: I rarely play video games.
Yummy foods you like: Anything that isn’t described as “yummy” because that’s how my SIL describes food and it drives me bananas. :P. Aside from that: fresh bread, baked goods involving oatmeal, chocolate and/or lemon, pasta.
Zoo Favorites: Almost anything.
The one positive thing on the horizon: I know I'm getting a new phone for Mother's Day (Samsung S20). I'm looking forward to not having to recharge my phone multiple times a day. We'll see if the Swype typing is any smarter than on this phone, as well.
