Woke up at the ass crack of satan this morning to find out that our governor is putting a "safer at home" order in place. Basically, its a mild version of the "stay put" orders. Or at least thats what it sounds like to me. More of a recommendation than an enforcement from what I am gathering. It also snowed last night. Not a ton, but enough to make me go "What the fuck?". If you don't know me Im as neurotic as a beaver checking its dam for leaks. Specifically, when it comes to checking the weather I probably open my app anywhere from 6-12 times a day. I don't know why, I just like to know whats coming and be prepared. Anyways, I have somehow left that habit in the dust once all this chaos started. Anne text me last night and said "Its supposed to fucking snow today". Her and I share a portion of brain or something because I almost threw my phone in disgust when I read it. I realize I live in Wisconsin, and we are by no means out of the woods yet when it comes to cold weather and snow, but could we just all get a break during the shit show that is our world right now? Sorry mom, I know I curse a little bit but I sure love you a lot. On the subject of my mom, she read my first post, even shared it to her twitter friends (how cute is she?). I know she loves me because instead of giving me a hard time for cursing she told me I was colorful. Which, is true, I am. I don't come by it honestly, either. Neither one of my parents really curse, I just find it to be expressive in one way or another. My grandma always tells me she loves me for speaking unapologetically, which is funny because I keep SO much in and apologize constantly. Back to my morning, Anne sent me a text saying a guy came up on the deck we share with the bar next door and he was caught on cams using the deck as a bathroom. I wish I could say this was a surprise, but it happens more often than you would think. We can all find comfort in knowing some things really don't change. Ha! Im literally trying to think of tasks I can do each day so I have some sense of accomplishment everyday. Showering and laundry was on todays agenda. Thank you jesus that I got my hair done a little darker/closer to my natural color last time since I was supposed to get my hair done on the 31st. Cant imagine what I would look like by the end of this if my hair was still neon red. Oofta that would be a sight to see. Not like I have anyone to impress seeing as how I am single, single. Not to be confused with just regular, normal single. Single, single is where you have become so jaded and picky you just accept that you'll be the forever third wheel to yours friends. Everyone always says my person will come along and deep down the hopeless romantic wants to believe that, but its the last thing on my mind at this point. Im just trying not let my anxiety take me out before Miss Rona does. I started playing Draw Something and let me tell you, I have never felt less artistic in my whole life. Ive always been really big into art and have never felt like I had fat fingers until today. Do you know how hard it is to draw with your fingers on your phone!?

I figured it would probably be smart to actually date these entries. Last night turned into a drinking Grey Goose and listening to 2008 hits until like 3 AM. I gotta stop treating this quarantine like a high school student on summer break. Around 8:30 I was awoken by honking. Not just any honking but the honking of a garbage truck DIRECTLY outside of my window. Talk about an unpleasant way to wake up. I seriously popped up like a jack in the box because I was concerned I was late for school or something. I haven't been in school in nearly 10 years, so why that was my first thought I will never know. One of the other tenants in the surrounding buildings parked like a dick and they couldn't get through the alley. So they just starting honking until he came out. Kind of comical but also kind of annoying. Andddd that "Safer at Home" order is going to be for 30 days. So, theres that. Today is certainly not going to be as productive as the other days Ive had so far. Its cloudy out and all I want to do is sleep. Its been an uneventful day but I have needed the solitude almost. I will probably regret that in a few days when Ive been isolated longer. My only goal today is to go to sleep at a decent hour so I don't wake up with an attitude of the wicked witch tomorrow like I did today.

Well, I went to bed early and slept for nearly 11 hours. Yay me, I feel so rested. I keep clenching my jaw because of the anxiety and stress. Yesterday was rough, hence the shorter entry. Feeling the heaviness of being alone, BUT Im going to try to make the best of it. It's my dads birthday today and I feel sort of bad that they can't have a celebration or anything for him. Even though he's so damn modest he doesn't want a celebration of any sort. He keeps asking me about coming home but I am just terrified to fly right now or even drive to be honest. The agenda for today is to do my toes so I can prep my feet for if I have to sell feet pictures to make some money. Only half joking. Figured might as well since I have all this free time on my hands. Ive resorted to animal watching out of my window for some mild entertainment. Ya know what is outside here in Racine, Wisconsin? Squirrels and seagulls. I can't say for certain but I may begin to develop an Australian accent so I can narrate what they are doing. If I wasn't extra aware of noises and movement out back of the salon/bar/apartment, I am now. I hear any noise and immediately pause my music and poke my head up like a prairie dog. Whats the name they call people who are nosey with their neighbors? Gladys Kravitz from Bewitched, thats right. Thanks Google. Maybe I'll just change my name to Gladys. Seriously, I gave Anne updates on the Recycling truck picking up our bins yesterday. Im losing it and its only Day 5/6. Pray for me. Just made my dad open his gift on FaceTime with my sister and nieces. We got him a little basketball finger game. We had one when we were younger and he loved it so I decided that would be fun for all this time having to stay home. He said "Oh it says its for 3 and up I guess I have to wait another year!". He truly is one of the funniest people I know, if not thee funniest. Anne and John came by the salon to pick up the mail and they brought one of their puppies and food for me! When I saw Anne I exclaimed "PEOPLE!". I was so excited to see someone in person even though its really only been a few days. Normally, at work since I have clients all day I feel like the majority of my social needs are met. In fact, some days I don't even want to verbally speak when Im done because Ive had to carry conversations with multiple people all day. On the positive side when Im working with Anne I get lots of laughs in. I should probably explain a little why I called my blog "Ok, Bye, Love you" huh? Picture it, Salon circa 2018.... We were all doing nails, clients in the chair and this guy, a makeup salesman comes in. Now, these dudes come in every 3-6 months even though we have a no soliciting sign up on our door, nobody can apparently read when they're going door to door. Now, I know we all have jobs to do and they are doing the best they can, but these guys from this particular company are PUSHY. Anyhow, we were all sitting there and he walks in and prepares his little speech in which we responded with no thank you, we have our own makeup line, etc. This guy was actually pretty polite if I remember correctly. Seemed like a newbie so we didn't give him too much sass. After we told him thanks but no thanks he turns to leave and says " Ok...Bye.... Love you!" and proceeds to trip on our rug as he was running out. I think he was just as shocked that he said it as we were. We all just sat there for 10-20 seconds silent, trying to unpack what had just happened. We then proceeded to laugh uncontrollably. I cried y'all. Real tears of laughter. It was epic and now Anne and I always say it to each other when we are leaving. I joked that we should get tattoos that just say 'OKLYB'. When I asked Anne what I should name this, that was the first thing she said and I responded with "SOLD!". On that note I think I will wrap this up for today.
Ok, Bye, Love You!
