The Problematic of the Unproblematic

kakashi: Time to lay eggs! Or do they need to be made first? I'm a little confused about the technicalities. This episode starts sweet and ends bitter.  JoAnne:  I really prefer it the other way around.

kakashi: No more home office for me, starting August 3rd. I don't wanna. Trotwood: All our offices are supposed to be "ready" by August 15. But because of the social distancing requirements, my admin and I can't be in there at the same time and receive guests, so we are going to divide up the week between us. Have to wait to see what the local schools do before we can do our final schedule though. I'm fine only going in to sign documents once every other week, but I'm not ready for every day. JoAnne:  We've been phasing people back in at work, very slowly and with staggered schedules and enhanced protocols for distancing and cleaning - but my group is part of Phase 4 and will likely be one of the very last within the phase since there's nothing we can't do remotely.  It might even be the New Year.  I've already spoken to my boss, casually, about my reluctance to return given some chronic health conditions, and I'm confid...

kakashi: I have trouble keeping up with what day it is. Time moves incredibly fast, dammit. I watched BBC's The Musketeers , it's not exactly a good show, but the boys are really cute and very manly. Panda: Hola! I am still only watching Midsomer Murders (now on season 7) with a sprinkling of movies here and there. Saw The Old Guard on Netflix starring Charlize and Hot Jafar and it was not bad :) I keep writing down series to start; Issy has me intrigued about Song of Glory, Feather has recommended Love in Between, I have my gargantuan TBW pile and yet... SIGH. Hope everyone is staying safe. Love  Sometimes I know when it is.  I wake up, clean up, pour coffee, open laptop, answer emails, do things.  It doesn't really matter what day it is.  If it's nice I sit outside a bit.  Some of my neighbors are working a couple days in the office and a couple days at home so that's not really a clue, if they're around.  I'd say it's nice that we're back to exp...

kakashi: This episode proves that GoW does not have ONE romantic bone in his body. Good for him that he's so handsome at least. JoAnne: Clearly the prototype for the handsome but dorky nerd. Which is an approved type here at PotUp, of course.

kakashi: I'm on my way to the mountains!....... I'm here! (sorry, my fault for posting so late :) JoAnne:  Yay!  That is excellent news for so many reasons!  Panda: Fantastic news K! Enjoy!! I'm trying to be faithful to Cardio July ( something I and pals coined) to beath the Covid bulge. LOL. I'm also tearing through Midsomer Murders which I loooove. Trotwood: I'm so glad that you are able to get away, Kakashi. Sigh. I had lost half inches in places in June, but all the ham I've been eating has put them back. Working an extra job isn't helping.   But the big news this week in my drama world was how a drama made in one country "fixed" a hated ending for a drama made in another country!  Pp

kakashi: I just realize we are only a few episodes away from the end ... and haven't had THE SHECKS! I think we need it. No more virginal shyness, please! Ah, but first... Queen Time. JoAnne:  She's so pretty, even with radioactive sperm shooting out of her head.

Trotwood: Helloooo! Is anyone out there? Once again not watching a lot. The days seemed to meld into one another, and I'm having difficulty distinguishing days. I picked up a new drama, but nothing is replacing Midnight Pop-Up Bar right now. kakashi: I'm kinda here, Trot! Missing the mountains... my mom might be able to leave the hospital next week so it's possible we might go up there for a while. I'd love to. Every additional day with her feels like a gift. Meanwhile, Covid-19 still sucks. And I'm still reading Historical Romance books like crazy. I make myself laugh.

Chapter 75 written by LigayaCroft edited by Kakashi The first sight of the verdant hills of Qing Qiu, teeming with multicolor flowers and blessed insects as seen past the crescent moon-shaped mouth of the Eastern Valley, triggered a multitude of happy memories every time Li stepped foot in the place.

kakashi: We move on, swiftly towards something... could it be the end? The end of suffering? The end of love? The end of... meandering storytelling? JoAnne:  This would be the only area where I would accept the end of social distancing. .
