Another relatively slow day around here — this week is mostly rainy, or threatening rain almost every day. The first tropical storm (Arthur) is hanging around off the coast and supplying us with a lot of clouds. So big outdoor projects are on hold for a few days. (Just to put things in perspective, mowing my lawn is a “big outdoor project” for me.)
Anyhow, a lot of us (especially older folks) are still hang around home most of the time, even though I guess technically the “quarantine” has been lifted…
I got to thinking about all the clever remarks I’d heard from people in isolation… some I heard so many times, I’m sick of them, like “I never thought my hands would consume more alcohol than my mouth” or “better 6 feet apart than 6 feet under.” But some I haven’t heard so often and I kind of like them — especially the ones about home-schooling. We don’t have to do that anymore, but I can still identify with what a lot of parents are going through. Here’s a couple I particularly liked:
Home schooling is going well. 2 students suspended for fighting and 1 teacher fired for drinking on the job.
Day 5 of Homeschooling: One of these little monsters called in a bomb threat.
Day 6 of Homeschooling: My child just said, “I hope I don’t have the same teacher next year” … I’m offended.
And even though these aren’t about home-schooling, I Like these too…
I don’t think anyone expected that when we changed the clocks we’d go from Standard Time to the Twilight Zone.
Went to this restaurant called “The Kitchen.” You have to gather all the ingredients and make your own meal. I have no clue how this place is still in business.
Well, enough for a rainy day… think I’ll go check out the booze supply.
