Saturday busy-ness
Oct. 8th, 2022 08:45 amlove the way the buttery yellow waxing gibbous moon looked like it was giving Jupiter some side-eye last night, on my way to my friend Gregory's place to give him pumpkin pie I baked and drink slightly more pumpkin beer than was necessary.
He doesn't want to hear about my new friends at the club. Understandable. I so wish he could come dancing.
I feel bad around him because I am such a plague rat, I could be doing better about covid, he's immunocompromised so has to be extra careful, he's terrified of long covid, and here I am, going clubbing without a mask every week and occasionally kissing a couple of my friends.
To be fair, Josh is the same, not masking at the gym ever. Neither of us mask when we go out to eat, because that just seems redundant, to walk into a place masked to order but then remove it to drink or eat.
I do still mask for groceries, at work, at my favorite cafes when I just go in and out for coffee and don't stay inside to imbibe. We eat outside whenever possible. Josh wanted to sit inside at the bar at Matador last week but I insisted we go outside, for safety more than anything, it was so crowded.
But, Gregory says I am the last of his non-covid-cautious friends who still hang out with him at all. I guess I can tolerate the fact that I am failing but he can still love me and we can still be friends even though he disagrees with my level of care around covid. It's a little bit difficult, and there are people I do totally avoid because of it, but once I get boosted at the end of this month, things will be better, I hope.
Gotta get dressed for running. I've developed an allergy to my favorite deodorant, it's so weird, I've used it for years, it's all natural and made by a local soap maker, it's always been wonderful. When I got poison oak a couple weeks ago my armpits broke out after shaving, I think I didn't realize I had poison oak yet and wasn't careful and spread it to myself this way, but now it keeps happening every time i try to use the deodorant, both armpits are still itchy and red even though the poison oak rash itself is gone. I wiped off and cleaned the deodorant thinking maybe I got the urushiol oil on it but it's still causing a really bad reaction. So i had to switch to another natural deodorant that doesn't work at alllll lol.
I'll have to try to buy some Schmidts or something today.
Itchy red armpits are no fun lol.
Gotta go run with the hubs, and pack for Idaho. I am hoping to fit in a coffee date with my brother and to get a few Halloween decorations out before we jet early in the morning. I wish I weren't leaving my beloved city for a week during the prettiest month of the year, but Idaho will be beautiful, too. I need to protect my Octobers better, I should not have agreed to this, I did this before with Josh four years ago and regretted it and promised myself I wouldn't do it again. But it's really hard for me to say no to him, I love him so. I'm sad to miss a week of work and a week of Halloween and a week of Thrill the World practices, but skating is important and the mountains are so beautiful. It'll be fine. I'll bring my laptop and tripod and do some much needed online content updating for my websites and youtube channel.
I am a lucky fae.
