they let us go shortly after 6 - the weekend surge rate of an extra $2/hr probably is a factor. no matter; the hours i get will be the hours i get. experimented by taking surface streets to santa anita up to the 210 about the same time and shaves a couple of miles off the commute each way, and also allows me to refuel on my commute route. cashed my paycheck on the way home, ate and was asleep by 8am, woke up a 11:30am.
today is also cool and damp. it occurs to me that if i'd gotten my hoodie wet, i wouldn't have a backup garment to stay warm. i suppose i would have gone to a laundromat, done some laundry and dried my hoodie. but i'm feeling better about turning down the 8x10 room with all the storage space outside. without a proper awning, my stuff would be wet/damp.
i want to cook, do anything actually now that my main concerns are no longer a place to sleep, electricity access and internet. the isolation after spending all that time outside interacting with people being abruptly cut off affects me acutely than i would have expected. people living alone during this quarantine must be feeling it by now, especially extroverts like me.
--------------------
i did in fact cook later making the second package of beef cheeks i'd purchased. this time i went shopping to pick up the other ingredients needed to make stroganoff: mushrooms, noodles, etc. i also picked up 2 dozen eggs. i was craving scrambled eggs in a big way. there are SO many things i want to cook: homemade pasta sauce with pork skin added for richness, grilled squash, etc.
derek called around 9pm to check in. i got to bed around 10pm for a 2am call time.
