Funani and Amahle at San Diego Zoo (Taken 3.3.2020) |
It's a really quiet day around the house today. My sister called and they're all out at Balboa Park for another Saturday party on the lawn, but I'm just being overly cautious because it feels like nobody else is. It's all good though because today the new season of The Zoo:San Diego premieres on Animal Planet. It was available on Discovery Plus but we're maxed on streaming services, so I'm watching the first season marathon as it counts down to the new season premiere. It's way better than what I was watching before, which was the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills which is just total garbage, more now than usual. I'm gonna cut it short today because I think I've been a lot this week. I read a story about a girl who survived COVID, but had to have her arms and legs amputated and it's kinda just freaking me out the more I think about kids going back to school.
Apparently Governor Newsom is in San Diego today, but I couldn't track down where he'd be or when. Ballots are here next week. It is imperative that everyone votes NO on the recall and returns their ballot right away. Not voting is the same as a yes vote. We cannot let this state go to the hell of Florida or Texas.
Stay safe out there.
