Boy, it sure didn't take much to put me right back into full "fuck this place" at work. Weird how as soon as unemployment went back up we all started getting treated like shit again.

Woke up in the wrong side of the bed this morning, I guess.

I slept like garbage on account of a dog that was up pacing all fucking night. I know it's not her fault but it's hard not to get frustrated and pissed off about it. This morning I am very happy about not having to go into the office.

And my shoulder feels like falling off... Getting M ready for sale so I washed and waxed it yesterday. Didn't realize that my orbital had died, so I decided to just hand wax it. That was a horrible decision.

Shoulder surgery was cancelled yesterday too.

First commute to work from the new place this morning. Twice (or more) the distance now, but due to there being no traffic it took the same amount of time.

Similar. The cat woke me up at 2am by sitting in an empty box and purring like a trumpet for an hour.

But hey, either of these is better than waking up to an animal that has shit everywhere and jumped on the bed after rolling in it!

Wife is going stir crazy. Me I am a loner by nature so I don't GAF

Morning Monkeys.

We booked a cabin in the woods 2 months ago and have been waiting to see if they cancel and they have not. So Friday to Monday we take all 3 dogs and hope for the best. Right on the river, only one other house visible, I hope it's good. Guess we will find out.

One by one, people from my generation drop away into history. At best, we briefly honor them and move on. The world never stops and it always moves on. That is the way of things.

Hello all. We were out of Japanese breads so I remedied that. Baby Aya loves her some kare pan.

Don't do this man... if they are rolling along business as usual, and have been renting it out, there is NO FUCKING WAY that place isn't covered in the cooties of everyone that has been there, as well as everyone THOSE people have been in contact with.

DO NOT DO. :fie:

In our neck of the woods all rentals have been canceled and closed, province borders closed, region borders closed. Basically the "stay the fock home" message is pounded hard. I'm about to call in danger close air support when I see unknown people walking on my street.

Broke my dr. ordered isolation yesterday becuase I was getting no suport at home (im high risk), went for a walk and saw adi hanging out with neighbor hood kids, in no way social distancing at all. Pretty much the lack of support I am recieving at home from loved ones has made me rally re-examine things & I think once this over I will prolly leave Colorado if possible.

Talking to my neighbor yesterday and he said almost all the hotels and b&b setups on the coast are closed and folks in the gorge are pissed with all the tourists.

This place isn't anywhere cool, so the traffic is minimal at best. We didn't plan on venturing while there before this mess. It's on 7 acres for a reason.

My auto-immune disease is huge inconvience to the house evidently & the one person I should be able to count on I can't, at this stage in my anger witnessing the true charecter of someone I love, all I can think about is my exit strategy.

Take a deep breath and find your center. Everyone's off kilter now. Do they suck the rest of the time?

Yup. they've sealed off the borders: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ottawa-gatineau-bridge-border-ontario-quebec-1.5517240
I live about 200m from the border. My forest trails are about 4km away, on the wrong side of the river. Fuck. I was hoping to ride there once the snow melted. Apparently they are setting up roaming check-points, so it's just now worth the hassle/stress to head out. On the plus side, this should give the trails time to dry out...

Is that Gatineau Park?

the concern SS is raising has nothing to do with remoteness but whether or not the people who own & rent out the cabin are cleaning it appropriately between rentals

yes.





















































:D

Camp Fortune is in Gatineau Park. Fortune is about 20 km away. But the Park juts right into town, less than 1km from the river. There are bike paths along the river, and unofficial trails that connect to the official network. They're south-facing and usually dry out very quickly. My guess is they'll be good to go in 2 weeks (with maybe a few wet spots), and dry as a bone in 3 weeks.

I need to maintain perspective. This will eventually be over. it may seem like an eternity now, but we'll get through it. what sucks more is that my wife is now forbidden from seeing her parents (on the West Island). We weren't planning on seeing them anyways, but it adds an additional barrier.
