Hey there, readers!
In some semblance of normality,
Happy World Water Day!
But also, wtf.
I feel like we're in some absolutely twisted alternate reality right now. I mean, what kind of toxins are they putting in the water these days? Is this a dream? I'm just plotting my next never-to-be-finished novel, right? Oh wait, this is real life. It feels like a warzone because it's not 'just the flu' for some of us and people still have jobs to go to and families to return to.
How did we go from 'oh, this is a hoax' to 'up to 18 months, definitely going to be a recession now, probably another great depression? How are you all coping with this?
My week was pretty basic but also really busy.
I braved going out to vote and even though I wasn't able to go early, it was empty except for one other voter. Florida will probably have a super low voter turnout because of this virus. Everyone was either panic shopping or living it up Spring Break style at the beaches. Yes, they're still open. Apparently,our government officials didn't see the need to stop massive Spring Break gatherings during a serious pandemic. Yay!
Also, gardening. Lots and lots of gardening. It's the only thing grounding me right now. I miss my adventures but for the good of the country I'm going to stay tf home. I hope you'll all do the same!
Stay safe and happy reading!

What I'm Watching:
The world go to shit from my phone.
On a positive note, I'm thankful to all those making this a little easier by offering up free ebooks and learning resources for all the kids out of school right now. Our local library hasn't added any digital material for children to their Overdrive or Libby during all of this and we're too at risk to do the curbside pickup so I'm extra thankful for Scholastic's BookFlix right now. It has popular animated picture books paired with children's nonfiction and my kiddo is loving all the extra storytime!
There's also a ton of free Sesame Street books on the Kindles Freebies list right now!
What I'm Listening To:
Also, some super chill, relaxing music from Aphex Twin that always always relaxes me when I listen to it. I hope it helps!
'Stone in Focus'
Have a good one!
Yeah I was amazed when our news showed beached in Florida packed with people. I mean, I get it, Spring Break! But also COVID19! I'd thought people might think it best to skip the beach this year, or go later on but I guess not.
ReplyDeleteHope you continue to stay safe!
Here's my StS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
We're really starting to see the spread here now. I've seen so many reports of people who came to Florida bringing it home to their own states! I wish people had taken this seriously. :(
DeleteYeah sorry but Florida is living up to its reputation.
ReplyDeleteYou might want to check out the International Children's Digital Library for kiddo too.
Wishing you a great reading week, be well!
It really is. Sigh. :(
DeleteAnd thank you! I hadn't heard of that one so I will definitely check it out! Stay safe! :)
Yes there are plenty of stupid people out and about. I'm glad you are being sensible. We are staying home too.
ReplyDeleteHave a healthy week and enjoy some good reads!
Anne - Books of My Heart Here is my Sunday Post
I was hoping it wouldn't get any worse but it seems that everyone here is now stir crazy and treating this like a good reason to party.
DeleteThank you so much! I hope you have a healthy week as well! Happy reading!
Oh Bookflix has been such a savior! I loved it too so have been doing the stories with my daughter. Also, I've abused my printer this week and taken out a LOT of activity prints so that they can keep her occupied. I'm still looking out for more material.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and healthy. Life went for a toss in the blink of an eye.
Same! I used up all my ink adding to my daughter's busy binder!
DeleteI'm really loving the popular animated classics on BookFlix! That, ABCmouse, and PBSKids are saving me this week!
Thanks for stopping by! Stay safe! :)
Yeah, it's been a pretty crazy week... Libraries here have all closed down, as well, schools, self quarantine for most areas. As for Spring Break, I don't get it either... why even risk it? On a lighter note, we've been reading and watching movies, just trying to keep our minds off of things right now.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. This has gotten so out of control lol. This whole may- last- 18- months, multiple waves of infection thing has me like- really??? Ugh. Crazy Train seems very appropriate!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes it's the little things that help us stay grounded, I think. I don't get the whole Spring Break thing either.
Stay safe this week!
I saw all those stupid people on the beach. I know it’s spring break, but really? I’m so happy that my state has mail-in ballots. I voted at home. I hope you have a good week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Everything sure is crazy! We'd have been in Florida next week...probably rescheduling for late August :) All this extra reading time, but so hard to focus. Take care of you and yours!
ReplyDeleteThis is a crazy reality and I'm all about being social. But I've found some theater events in my community that are live streaming so I'm happy..I feel connected to people at a different level now. Here's a new connection. This is my first visit to your blog @theglobaldig.blogspot.com
