I get recurring nightmares but I haven't had any recently. I haven't had any dreams that I can remember either.

I have nightmare disorder anyway, so I’m used to nightmares, but the kind of dreams I’ve been having the past couple weeks are about people I know, and I rarely dream about people I know.

I put these small fleece blankets with pouches in the cage with my guinea pigs yesterday. The one, Amelia, keeps burrowing under it and sort of wrapping herself in it so you can just see her nose sticking out. It's too cute.

Lately I’ve been having nightmares that I ate a meal, and then I wake up in a panic.

I know this sounds crazy but I keep dreaming that I find a hidden stash of N95 masks somewhere in the hospital but then I wake up and it’s just a dream and then I’m sad

What's sad is that you even have to have dreams like that...There shouldn't be a shortage, of those or potentially of ventilators. (I was just reading an article about how the government contracted years ago to have another company produce extra ventilators to stockpile in case of pandemic. But then that company got bought out, and the new owner didn't think it would be profitable enough, so got out of contract. So, basically, the shortage comes down to money and greed...)

I fond a N95 mask stashed in my locker. I set it aside for a minute while I used the restroom and when I came out it was gone!

Sorry that you had to have this dream - we should all be fully stocked with PPE

I’ve not really had memorable dreams lately. But I’ve noticed that I don’t walk in dreams anymore. I either bounce or float.

YOLO FOMO - how was it? Did you try it with matcha?

OK, have to share the cuteness (she's now wrapped up in a different position in the blanket, but don't want to disturb her). Actually, wait, now they're fighting over the blanket, even though there are two blankets...

That is the definition of adorable! Thanks, LT.
I finished an online writing group call earlier, and came out of my bedroom to discover that my mother had made flapjack.

Yummy.

It was weird but easy. I am going to try the matcha tomorrow - it is a little more involved - melting the sugar in the water and mixing into an egg white to get it to have some body to it.

ArtieTheSequal · Mar 29, 2020 at 05:16 PM

just saw a beautiful hawk fly across my backyard and sit on the wall... then he left before I could get my camera.

Nice! And, aw, that makes me think of Dr. T. He has big windows behind him in and on the side of the office overlooking a bunch of trees. Once, in the middle of us talking, he was like, "Ooh, look at the hawk!" and pointing. It was rather endearing. And now I think of him when I see a hawk.

The food bank I’ve been volunteering at called—not enough food on hand to use their volunteers (just staff from now on) or enough money to keep the branch near me open. They’ll call if things change.

I’ll miss it, not least because it got me out on an “essential” task. But also because so many people really really need that food right now, more even than usual.

I have thought about trying it but I dont love the taste of a lot of instant coffee. Does the sugar change it?
