Homemade yogurt: still delicious

allekhaAfter much confusion, I finally have a confirmed proposal date!!! No more stressful emails! Only the actual presentation! I did a practice run with my advisor yesterday, and he said it was great! Just a few more slide adjustments. (He is also now very confused about my graduation scheduling and funding, but he said he would email people about it himself, so I am just going to keep on trucking.)
I went to the pharmacy and grocery store this morning. It was unexpectedly anxiety-inducing to be so close to other people again, although I did my best to stay 6+ feet away from everyone. Traffic on the roads is a lot lower than normal. The pharmacy had a security guard next to the door (for people throwing fits about the paper good limits? for anyone who comes in hacking up a lung?) and the grocery store is still out of TP and half-gallons of milk (but is full up on gallons). And also the frozen pierogi. I've been thinking of making some with my sweet potatoes anyway. I now have fresh fruit again and am stocked up for at least another two weeks.
The park across the street is still open, though there are tatters of caution tape hanging at the entrance for some reason; they caution taped every single bench, the playground, the pavilion - it honestly freaked me out the first time I walked in and saw it, and now that I know it's there, I can see it from my office window. Quiet streets I've seen before, sure, but not that.
Anyway, I've spent the past couple of days either working or banging my head against my desk trying to denoise some 1980s anime (Hikari no Densetsu) so I can gif the thing without it looking absolutely terrible. I've been thinking of writing fic for it for Be the First since the main character and her main rival are v. shippable, in which case I'd probably better get on with writing it, haha.
And if anyone needs more isolation streams to watch, the Bolshoi is putting up streams of their ballets; "Swan Lake" is already up. I believe this is the same video I watched in the theater.
