PANDORA'S BOX

As you can see, the boys are giving the Casa du Borghese a deep cleaning!!! 

My Pandora's Box has opened...and it may never close.A friend and I were talking the other day, and even he'd noticed a change in my attitude. I think we can all agree that while shuttered in, at least for me, the attitude and emotions keep changing. Which is very rare for me. But I have been getting darker. Which isn't a surprise. I can get very villainously dark. I'm good at keeping it at bay. The current lax attitude I'm seeing all over and the angst to reopen is just plain stupid. People already running around without mask or protection, relaxed guidelines, disrespecting of state governors guidelines,  groupings of large numbers of people, and all those loud mouthed and crazed protestors. Such a sorry bunch of sons of bitches to see. Just the other day,  I was shocked to see over the weekend a picture of Central Park packed to the gills. Im to the point where I really could care less what happens to these people. Maybe the stupid just needs to be taken...and quickly. I realize it's getting nice, warm and sunny, but Mother Nature is a bitch ,I know...this is going to be her ploy to lure people out, and then nabbed them when the second cycle starts. I say, Bye to all the Felicia's. If we were in the throws of a real serious post apocalyptic time, so many people would be seriously screwed. People's minds right now are clouded between wants and needs, that for sure.  Of course,  it doesn't help when you have two morons running the country who change their mind every 2 minutes on guidelines or information, put something out there, only to retract it 2 minutes later. Add them to the list of wood boxes needed. I'll gladly throw in the first hand full of dirt. And don't get me started on the two sorry excuses of First and Second Ladies. Melania was much more successful at her call girl profession before moving here, and what ever Pence's wifes name is...she's as useful as tits on a bull.

And the news doesn't help either. None of it. Yet again Trump gets his way. Now I see where a top republican  fundraiser and trump ally was named as Postmaster General. The action will install a stalwart Trump ally to lead the postal service, which Trump has  railed against for years, and will move him closer then ever before to forcing the service to renegotiate it's terms with companies and it's own workforce. He'll probably end up fucking this up too. So I may have  to stop watching the news. At this point, it's all redundant anyhow.

I myself still have no date to go back to work yet. Even when and if we open...that doesn't mean the people will come. Where reopens have happened, people are still not coming, and I don't blame them. If stores were open now I wouldn't be shopping. When we do reopen, I still don't think the visual teams will return till much later. I'm hearing right now a limited number of people in the store, or possibly shopping by appointment only. And of course that will piss some off. Oh well. Shopping and retail, will change as we know. Get used to it.

I guess I'm also getting cranky because I haven't had sex since March. That's got to be a world record for me!!!!! And another thing that gives me the sads, my vacations are cancelling as fast as Sherry Pie's gigs. But to be honest, I wouldn't feel comfortable traveling anyhow. Although the above picture could be a cute Ptown look.

I also got a call from the local ASPCA who is in need of donations and volunteering. I give several donations a year to them, but at this time, I'm keeping the apron strings drawn in. With many volunteers out sick or aren't comfortable being out, I did tell them I would come in to volunteer hours when needed,  and they call already. They need people to socialize with animals, and give walks and exercise to the many dogs. So this will give me a huge boost mentally. I can only bake so much bread!  Although just between us girls, I think Buster is worried I many bring home 8 dogs and 4 cats, 2 chickens, and a goat. That won't happen. The shelter there has a extremely high adoption rate. Hey it will be a win- win for me. Doing some good, while I get to see all theses cuddies.

Our officials have also said plan on self isolation and social distancing a while longer. So the houseboys and I have stocked up on red wines,whiskey, rum, vermouth, absinthe, white wine, sherry , gin, and lord, if we need it, brandy. Pray for us.

I'm also going to be away for a couple days. I'm heading to the ancestral home for the weekend for Mother's Day. My mother has ordered from a local flower garden center her yearly flowers to be planted for summer, so I will be pottering in her garden and getting things planted for her. I look forward to doing that as well. It will be just the two of us, so nothing to worry about. Unless we argue over costumes for the day. Last time mother wanted me to come out in a kimono, so we had quite the fight.

Plus, I just need time away and off the grid to clear me mind. I have a few post pre-posted. So don't worry sweet peas, Ill be back when the world is better.

HA!
