Recovering from one helluva a week...
Mar. 14th, 2020 08:07 pmMy particular version of it has included the insistence on the part of the higher ups that we all must be in the office all the time (office in question is a sealed room with 20 people in it. We've been passing the flu around for weeks and then someone went on a cruise. Wacky hijinx ensued.). So I was already very stressed, mostly from other people understandably freaking out, went into work with a migraine on Wednesday, had a crazy day, went to drive myself home and promptly drove my car into a very solid concrete parking ramp pillar. In my defense, the whole pale gray on pale gray thing made visibility rather poor. At any rate, I got banged up and my car is not driveable. I go to hang out in the parking ramp waiting for a tow truck and eating dinner from Afro Deli (the Somali Sweet Spiced Tea will make you sit up and take notice of just about everything in the vicinity). Eventually, got towed to the wilds of St. Paul and rescued by my wife. Then, after dragging my butt into work for a couple of days, the Governor declared a state of emergency so now it looks like we will indeed be working from home, possibly with staggered work days in the office. Good times!
At any rate, home recovering. Mom's nursing home has asked us not to visit and all of my events for the next week have been rescheduled. Looks like I'll have time to organize the Pride Month StoryBundle for this year and finish a novel or two. I did manage to catch "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" before things went south - it is lovely, queer and definitely worth seeing. Hoping to catch "Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears" tomorrow night at The Alamo Drafthouse in Woodbury (still open at the moment). Other than that, trying to support some of the organizations which are being forced to cancel events and performances. Gonna be a rough couple of weeks.
In the meantime, check out a new podcast interview with Publishing Me on Heather Rose Jone's podcast. And more online stuff coming soon. Sending good thoughts to you all.
