Protecting one's mental health when told to self isolate & cut off social contact

[Satchmo Distel]

I've unfollowed all political journalist accounts from my Twitter to make it Trump-free. It was either that or delete my account.

Our skeleton, who's on the previous page, changes his sign every day. It turns out he's become a bit of a local star. I keep seeing cars pull up and take photos, and a couple of elderly walkers today said (from a presumably safe distance of several meters) that they look forward to seeing skeleton every day and it keeps them in their routine of walking the neighborhood. It's kind of warming to know that we're helping keep people entertained in their relative lock-down.

Would love an update on here.

Also welcome back MsD!

The latest update is that he got a thank you card in the post yesterday. Someone actually sent physical mail to say thank you for brightening their walk and the neighborhood. I was, as the youngsters say, "totally made up".

that‘s lovely. But I‘m hoping for daily photos of his slogan and accompanying pose.

does he have a name yet? If not I’d like to call him “Mick” after Mick McCarthy.

We just call him Skelly. Today, because it's been a rainy couple of days here, he went a bit dad-joke on us. He also needed to go mainstream because yesterday - thanks to my wife - his sign was some Grateful Dead lyrics that got a whole lot of confused stares from the passers-by.

Oh well. If we're just showing our pets off....

The skeleton is wonderful. I think he should be called Dr. McCoy.

I'm in a really bad mood today. Really angry.

I might stay off the Covid threads for a while.

I feel that too. Take care.
