Nova at the San Diego Zoo (Taken 11.19.2020) |
It's so easy to fill time, I don't know how anyone is ever bored. Me and Darren hung out in the speakeasy super late last night so naturally I slept in today and woke up to Darren and Nova making me breakfast...Pillsbury crescent rolls baked with cream cheese and blueberries inside and a fruit salad with bananas, mandarin oranges, apples, blueberries, and raspberries. We ate outside and then we snuck into the empty lot next door and threw the football around for awhile. It's usually locked up but some contractors were looking over it today and left the gate open so we took advantage. We finished the tree, watched some TV, I worked through my bazillion daily emails, and Darren has taken over dinner duties and made us some awesome salads and burgers.
Besides all that, it was a hectic news day, with the FDA approving the EUA for Pfizer's vaccine at the last possible moment, the Supreme Court rejecting the covidiot-in-chief's latest attack on democracy but not before dozens of wackadoodle republicans jumped on board in support, and COVID records were set all over the place, with the highest new cases in San Diego, and correspondingly, the highest deaths this week with a day of data still due to report. It's really grim. So we're trying to do our best to keep spirits up around here, and I hope you are, too.
