Meanwhile, after a long wait of nearly a year, I just moved somewhere where all the stores have to be driven to and there are lawn sprinklers and a gardener comes on Fridays.
THAT IS APPROPRIATE SOMEHOW???

Fancy ice cubes forever ♡

Find what you need...
I wonder if fancy ice cubes would be good for sore muscles.

Find what you need...
I wonder if fancy ice cubes would be good for sore muscles.
Looking forward
To waking up not aching
To better back health...how about that deep muscle that feels like it's your back but is technically an abdominal?
To more space to put things as drawers and shelves for small spaces arrive...but what if we just had fewer things...do I really need this vegetable spiralizer?
To fewer unpacking interruptions - sometimes it's outside forces, sometimes it's the body...
To having it all put away or given away (that's a challenge...who accepts donations now?)

New sounds
Louder birds.
Neighbors outdoors but not next to the wall. That's good.
Saw a raptor over a neighbor's tree yesterday!
More wind.
The freeways are louder or softer sometimes. It depends.

Oranges, thyme, oregano
I collected those from a neighbor's driveway and a community garden when I lived in the old place. That was a different environment.
Sleeping lately
Involves waking up exhausted and achey.
Weird dreams too, like one about being on two Zoom meetings at once, or another about lying under mosquito netting upon which birds can perch.

How sensible
“'These taxpayers work in critical sectors of our economy, like agriculture, and contribute greatly to our country,' said Rep. Lou Correa (D-Calif.), who’s introduced a bill to extend eligibility to the excluded immigrants."
~ R. Rainey & K. Landergan

Who has the remedy for this?
"These U.S. citizens won’t get coronavirus stimulus checks — because their spouses are immigrants"

"She works as a film producer and her small business has ground to a halt, forcing her and her husband to eat red beans and rice most nights, scramble to find small business loans and apply for medical assistance for their two children.
So the 44-year-old woman from the Midwest, who asked that her name not be used to protect her privacy, has had to bite her tongue as friends have celebrated the arrival of economic stimulus checks.
As a U.S. citizen whose children are also U.S. citizens, she is excluded from the government’s $2-trillion coronavirus financial relief package because she files her taxes jointly with her husband, a Mexican citizen from Guadalajara."

Birds are happy. I saw one in a tree that was.
The quarter-eating washing machine in the complex won't work and it's gloomiest Easter ever but that means it's time listen to downtempo music and drink a hot sugary red date dong quai beverage (an impulse buy--one of many things to try to finish up before moving) and do something useful inside like cook or sort through papers or pack small things and later go out to have a walk in the gray drizzle fest before the sun goes down.

"Many farmworkers are single mothers"
“Many farmworkers are single mothers,” Romero said. “They have to continue working to provide for their families, so they’re being forced to leave children at home … because they don’t have family support.”
Jim Cochran, owner of Swanton Berry Farm, an organic strawberry operation and a UFW-represented grower outside of Santa Cruz, California, said his farm is fortunate enough to provide housing for the 25 year-round employees in an isolated area, which could help decrease the chances of someone contracting the coronavirus."
"Even before President Trump signed a sick pay bill, Cochran told his employees that if they got sick and needed to stay home for a few weeks, he would cover their wages."

And sometimes it is because I feel sick with disappointment at how some people are handling things. The lack of awareness and selfishness can make one ill.

Why should good food go to waste?
"Kim Jamerson thinks 'it's just a shame' to have enough food, but not be able to get it to the people in need. 'A woman who's got two kids how can she live on unemployment, go into a grocery store and pay 90 cents for a cucumber? She just can't do that.'
Part of the problem is that it takes labor to move produce from one place to another, and people are still figuring out who will pay for that."
~ D. Charles
"Food Shortages? Nope, Too Much Food In The Wrong Places"
"Jamerson says she can't afford to pay workers to pick a crop that will be donated. She wants the government to step in, provide workers or the money to pay them, and make sure food gets to where it's needed. 'The government could send the food to the hospitals, the rest homes, to the food banks, to the churches,' she says."
~ D. Charles
"NPR on Twitter: 'As farmers dump the food they usually sell to restaurants, food banks are struggling to feed the spike in people who can't afford groceries."

"The housekeepers typically make between $11 and $12 per hour and do not receive hazard pay, he said.
Housekeepers said that as of last week, they are no longer required to clean the rooms with COVID-19 patients in them, though they still clean the rooms upon discharge and emergency room areas where positive-testing patients are treated.
And, they said, there seems to be a hierarchy on who gets protective equipment, with preference going to the clinical staff, rather than cleaning crews and other support services."

"CDC guidelines suggest nurses and others already in protective gear clean rooms with COVID-19 patients and that housekeepers can clean after the patients are discharged.
But the cleaning crews should not rush into the rooms, the guidelines suggest.
'We do not yet know how long (COVID-19) remains infectious in the air,' the CDC’s guidelines state.
Regardless, the environment services workers "should refrain from entering the vacated room until sufficient time has elapsed for enough air changes to remove potentially infectious particles.”
They should be equipped with gloves and gowns, at minimum, and masks and eye protection, in addition, “if splashes or sprays during cleaning and disinfection activities are anticipated.”
Hospitals across Wisconsin are advertising for job openings for environmental service managers and workers."

"In Wisconsin, Will Hsu, owner of Wausau-based Hsu Ginseng Farms, said it will be training guest workers arriving soon. He said he is thinking about placing three workers instead of four in each of their two-bedroom apartments.
'It’s very important for us to keep them healthy,' he said.
But in the fields, he said, some tasks on the farm require groups of three, four or five to work closely together."

It is good to be articulate about caring
I want to know that society will get better about caring for and the health and safety of so many who were ignored or overlooked when "times were better."

What if a beloved ancestor to whom you owe so much has reincarnated as someone who is currently picking strawberries right now and you're just...not connected anymore?

I, a writing prompt
don't know why all the crayons in the 21st century who got all the food and nice houses couldn't even bother to make sure the crayons getting their food weren't at least nominally taken care of when that pandemic hit...
Perhaps they weren't the brightest crayons...

While wandering about at night in a very quiet town.
It is the sort of thing that happens in a time like this.

I guess some will remember this
“'Throughout this public health crisis, there has not been a day when farmworkers have stopped showing up to work. Their work ethic and commitment keep food in our grocery stores and fill America’s tables. As you know, farmworkers have been deemed essential during this public health crisis, and, as such, they have been asked to continue working. Although they help feed the nation, the mean and median income of a farmworker family are $20,000 and $24,999, respectively. Despite their low-wages, many won’t be able to receive the direct cash assistance headed to millions of U.S. households. Many of these essential workers lack critical benefits,' the Members wrote."

"Every day when Carmelita finishes her shift in the strawberry fields of California’s central coast, she sprays herself down with Lysol, takes off the handkerchief she uses to protect her face, and tucks it in a plastic bag before getting in her car. She’s the sole provider for her two young sons and can’t afford to miss a day on the job."

"The UFW Foundation is calling for Congress to provide farmworkers with hazard pay, financial support for childcare, and sick leave, among other benefits. Farmworkers on average earn about $10.60 per hour and have a median annual income between $17,500 and $19,999. Just 47 percent of farmworkers reported having health insurance, according to the latest National Agricultural Workers Survey."

Don't hide all the heaping quantities of self-care this drill sergeant of a universe is (something ing) right now.
DO THAT
You should have a vacation day
Like a day where you find time to love seeing sunlight on flowers
Eating tacos from Jack in the Box
And just enjoying life
Find what brings them what they need
Dear administrators, won't you please remember to communicate the value of your organization's staff and treat them well. Employees talking about how a radio commentator criticized your treatment of them as they prepare for a surge shows you really need to treat them better. Find those soft skills. This is your time.
