question for the ocean


If you're going through hell, keep going. (Winston Churchill)
I have 99 problems and this pandemic is all of them.

6am the sun isn't even up yet - (virtual) school starts in 75 minutes.
Brother comes into the kitchen where I'm eating cereal.
Brother: "Oh, oh. Someones in a bad mood."
Me: "What are you talking about"
Brother: "I can tell by how you're eating your" *peaks in my bowl* "Fruity Pebbles".
Me: "Why don't you GO AWAY"
Brother: "Why can't you just be happy"
Me: "You know what they call someone who'd always happy?... an IDIOT".
Brother: *gives me a kiss on the side of my head* "ginger up, baby"

I had a virus dream last night. We were in a really crowded restaurant (like in the before days - except worse) and no one was observing social distance - I was in back of my parents in this line and being jostled from behind.

Although I didn't, I wanted to angrily say, "social distance, BACK UP!!" to this buffoon that was crowding me - but it was also loud and noisy - I was feeling panicky - In the dream I remember saying to my mom that, "If I die, THIS is the crime scene".

Have we already become used to quiet and social distance? Will crowds ever feel normal and safe again?

10th grade is over and good riddance - I'm ready for the world that comes after.

I'm really, REALLY, hoping it's not 11th grade in lock-down.

In the living room, watching Fashion TV...
The overly happy announcer woman says, "Bikini season is coming!!"
Me: "No" *pressing the TV off button* "actually, it's not."
Me: *thinking I might go weigh myself & getting up*
Brother: "You going to weigh yourself?"
Me: "NO!"
Brother: "You're so suggestible - what do you even weigh - 90 pounds?"
Me: "SHUT UP!"

Question for the Ocean: What'd you do with Amelia Earhart you rat b**tard.
