  • Corona and Single Life 2020

    An issue with Corona Virus keeping us all inside is that if you are single there is not even the HOPE of dating. As a single person I really hate this part, and wish for the end of the home-stay. Before if I had a bad weekend I at least had HOPE of the next week being better…. Even with the Internet around the chances are limited.

    You can’t really meet up for dinner at a closed restaurant. I guess you could go for a park walk, or a Pik-Nik in the park, but meet ups at a concert show or DJ night will NEVER happen. Everyone keeps saying this is “no real issue” but yes… It is an issue.

  • Virginia Schools Close for the Year 2020

    Oh no schools have been closed for the year! Right as I am a teacher for the first time in years! This sucks! Kids will need summer school for years after this closing! They are also closing barbers so we are going to have REALLY ugly hair! The horror!

     

  • Corona and Uber

    A rough thing about working Uber and Lyft as a side gig right now is that night clubs have closed so male riders are getting extra creepy with female drivers. When is it okay to try solicit your driver as a prostitute? Never! This is why I drive with cameras, and 8 brands of mace, and tasers in my car. Oh well at least I am still working some hours, but I am trying to switch to mostly delivery work after this week. SUPER creepy guys! P.S. I am not now and have never been a prostitute.

  • Speak-Easy Hot Spots

    As public bars shut the rise of pop-up home-bars has been dramatic. It is the “20s” again, and so I guess Speak-Easy hot spots are a thing again as well. Will flappers and bath-tub gin be next? This reminds me of the country song “I’m going to hire a wine-o to decorate our home so you won’t need to roam” where he makes a great home bar!

  • Road Trip

    I am so desperately dreaming of road-trips far away from Virginia that I did a hand stiching of new curtains for my van. I just hand made the new layer of edge-lace. I can’t wait to show my out of state friends! It will be great for photos. I can’t wait to get away again! The euphoria of leaving is ocean sized.

  • 2020 Emergency Richmond

    State of Emergency Virginia 2020 pic 1

    CNN says a state of emergency has been declared by the governor here in Richmond, VA where my house is at. This is why I travel and date in other towns! I need to drive to other towns to have fun due to all the shooting in this area. The super-violence that I dislike is NOT my imagination. Things really are strange with violence dominating downtown. This is why it has been difficult to move from Austin, TX and New Orleans, LA to the Virginia area. Every place sometimes has a bad day, but more concert venues and dance clubs close down with fights, drugs, and shootings in this area compared to other areas I have lived in. FAR more closings happen here yearly. Remember Have a Nice Day Retro 80s Café in Richmond? Google it and it was closed years ago in Richmond due to shootings.  I do NOT like the fascists with guns in town seriously. I am not into fascist people normally, but when they shut down dance clubs and rock shows I hate it most of all. What little weekend I had planned was “shot” with this news broadcast. My mom, sister, and I plan to leave town as the violence goes extra bad on Monday.

    I think people with drug problems not getting therapy is an issue behind much of this violence at the roots. Kids turn to drugs instead of therapy when they have problems because they have BAD or NO insurance. They are tossed in jail for the drugs where they meet charismatic cult leader, gun fan, and fascist bikers. Years later it snowballs into ranting holding guns at a rally. Real healthcare could have helped this issue before it started.

  • Dating Hell is Virginia

    Last night my Okcupid date texted me that he was too drunk to show up to our date. It was 7 PM. Virginia is Dating Hell. This is why I am always going on road-trips to other towns. Worse yet I did not earn any money for Uber as I dressed up trying to meet online dating guys downtown and NONE showed up. Men don’t do this in other towns. This place really is in fact seriously horrible!
