This the first day of
March and it's snowing out a perfect day to be in the apartment
watching Harry Potter and thinking about my day and my month. I still
have letters to write and I still have changed to get which I cannot
do until tomorrow so today will be one of writing and cooking and
trying to stay out of trouble.
As I mentioned I'm
exercising the guilty pleasure by watching Harry Potter and the
Sorcerers Stone, the first in the series. I should be doing something
more productive with my time but as I said it's March 1 and snowing.
I'm just now reading this same volume, the first of a series of
Potter books. I've never really read them but luckily we are reading
the Sorcerers Stone in Book Club. I'm really quite amazed at how
faithfully the film seems to capture the book. Of course I've seen
the films before after all I do have kids and grandkids and nephews
and nieces. One of my nephews is totally a Harry Potter aficionado.
My kids of course were very Potter fans as well especially my
daughter. But I just sort of attended to the movies when they were on
but I've never really seriously followed them until now. Last night I
took myself out to the market mainly for something to do on a
Saturday night – – I know that sounds pathetic but things are as
they are. Luckily for me there is something called the Gray Whale
which is almost a counterculture market but they have lots of CDs and
DVDs and a fairly good selection of books but it's all music oriented
more or less. I like to spend time at the Gray Whale. Luckily Harry
Potter has been a bit of a phenomenon so there's lots of copies of
the movie and their relatively cheap. I got this one for $5.98! It
hard to write the copy from Amazon that would've been about the same
price but now I have my own copy. I think I'll do the rest of the
movies in the same way. As I indicated this is a guilty pleasure. I
love to escape into these movies however because the movies are their
own little universe almost like the Marvel universe but in a
different way.
Speaking of guilty
pleasures I need to move some furniture around so I can get into my
DVD collection. I'm almost certain I have a copy of 12 Monkees.I
know the movie almost has no relevance to what's happening today with
the corona virus. The only similarity is the virus becomes pandemic .
The Corona is acting the same way it's really weird to watch and
becoming quite frightening. The virus itself is terrifying but even
more so is the fact that the effect the virus is having on world
industry might be even more terrifying everything from
pharmaceuticals to plastics might be impacted. As I've written about
before I began saving my catheters just in case. Even if I were to
get a major bladder infection at least be able to cure the bladder
infection and still pee. I'm not even trying to think about the fact
that my home health person/agency services mainly seniors as well as
people with disabilities overall targets for the virus. And could I
get the virus in contact with them? Even here at the apartment
complex. Mainly seniors and if something happens here would it spread
through the whole facility? If I dwell on these for any given space
of time my anxiety level begins to rise. Up until then I've got to
keep faith living each day to the next and believing there's going to
be a joyous/wonderful spring…
