Good to see you turn up again! I've been pretty scarce here, too, but do keep an eye out.
DW S12 actually moved me to mostly quit watching - watched Spyfall, liked Sacha Dhawan's Master, figured that if he showed up again it wouldn't be until the finale, so watched nothing else until Timeless Children... which I decided was garbage, although Whittaker managed to finally act in a way that reminded me of the Doctor (because she seems to wake up and act when she can spark off Dhawan), despite being held captive and having everything endlessly explained to her, *yawn*.
Anyway. I've been surprisingly addicted to playing Pokémon Go since September, and am finally grinding my way toward Level 40 (which is the last Level to reach).
I'm well so far in this pandemic mess, but am furloughed from work and applying for unemployment (waiting on paperwork, which could really show up much faster, as my sister considers it her life's work to call me up every day and demand that I stop procrastinating, which I'm not even doing here).
Mom's safe so far in her assisted living house.
I'm in one of the states in the USA where it seems to be showing up a lot, California. My sister and her kids are in another, Washington state, where there are lots of Chinese and Indian tech workers with some atrocious hygiene habits, such as spitting in the street and coughing openly all over. Fun times.
Unfortunately, I've already lost a longtime coworker to COVID-19, as he was away on a trip in February and probably picked it up on a plane or in an airport. When our bookstore had to close in March, I texted him to ask how he was doing. He texted that he'd got back home, got very sick, and was being tested for COVID-19. When I didn't hear from him again, I texted to ask how he was a couple of times with no response, then heard on the unfortunate date of April 1 (April Fool's, but not a joke) that he'd died.
I imagine this will be a growing problem, considering how badly-handled it's been by two major countries, and that a lot of us will eventually have known someone who died of it.
