Self-control and caution tape

Today I managed to not browse the internet or read any news until 6pm. I am very proud of this, though I was definitely feeling some withdrawals. Somehow people did this regularly before 1998, or whenever the internet became part of our daily rituals!

I had the morning childcare shift today, so we went to Studio City Recreation Area again. O dropped off me and M and drove off to brave Costco. The park is, thankfully, still open, but the playground is taped off. The weather was pretty good, with some light rain mixed into a partially sunny morning. This picture actually looks more sad than I felt while there...maybe because there were other people at the park, but they don't appear in the photo.


In addition somebody dropped off a bag full of bright plastic toys next to the entrance of the (closed) Rec Center building. The bag had Frozen characters printed on the side. M saw it and kept wanting to go play with it. She said, "Maybe we take it home?" Ummm...no. Why would somebody do this during a pandemic? Were they trying to torture little girls and their parents?


Off to do dinner and evening routine!
