The Playground - Week 4 - Day 1

[clauderainsrm]

 The deadline has past for last week's entries. therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1105950.html  

What were some of your favorites?

We've been dealing with a COVID case in the household. Celena was sent home from college to recover.  She's been here for a few days and getting better, Fortunately, she's been vaccinated (and young) so it wasn't that bad.

I've been reading a LOT lately - which has been great.  I just finished what was *the* most disturbing book I've ever read... "The Girl Next Door", which, given that it's horror and I found it on a list of "the most terrifying books ever" probably shouldn't have surprised me much.  :) 

The worst part of it though is that it's based on a true story. (Basically a fictionalized narrator's POV of a real life event with the names changed)  The things that people are willing to do to each other is far more terrifying than any alien spider monster that lives in the sewer. 

We also finally started the Squid Games. 

So basically I'm feeling pretty darn good about humanity right now.  :D

What have YOU been up to? 

(the new prompt will be posted in a few hours)

I missed last week's prompt because we've been BUSY. I got my green card, we bought a car, I started my new job ... wow. I'm excited for this coming week's prompt!

I hope Celena is on the mend now! Are you all having to quarantine?

[favoritebean_writes]

Oh no, I'm sorry Celena's stuck with Covid. I hope she has a very speedy recovery.


We are also watching Squid Game. It's really popular with the 6th graders right now, and I'm just wondering if these kids are watching with their parents, or what.

I am quiet. :-)

I was wondering why you went radio silent. Hope she is well on her way to recovery.

It's scary what people can do to other people. And what mothers can do to their children, and, and, and.... sigh.

I've been semi-busy at work, and getting ready to do holiday stuff for all 3 companies ... *YIKES!* as well as take weekend trip with my Mom to FL for her to see her sisters for the first time in 5 years -- I actually think the one sister she hasn't seen since 2014 :(. And there are just 3 of them left, out of 9. Mom will be 82 in March -- she needs to see her family.

Anywho. I guess I better get back to work for the next 5 or so minutes. Ya'll have a good day!

I've been busy working and getting ready for Black Friday and the holidays. The joys of owning a business ... NOT! Still, I'm glad I was able to get something written for the last prompt, and this newest one has me moving in several directions. Now to reign in the horses and find the best path.

Sorry to hear about your daughter's Covid test. I'm glad she was close enough to be able to come home to you for her recovery time. I hope everyone else remains healthy.
