Out of bed about 4:30-6:30.
Went back to sleep, up at 9,
Cleared some email and download files.
Bree anxious about food safety.
Walk at 10:40. Listened to the last piece (“Copycat”) on the Carla Bley album.
Made coffee.
Worked from 11:45-1:30. Got to 750, so I felt ok stopping a little early. Would have preferred 10-noon; this is mostly a sleep issue.
Called dad. Same.
More discussion w/ Bree.
Form notes, 10 songs.
Last currently available jurisprudence episode. (Learning some basic positions, as I never took phil. of law in grad school.)
25 p. Claussen.
Checked at Rite Aid about possible delivery w/ rubbing alcohol. Told to check around 9 pm.
Some email and browser tabs - got through Jody’s playlist of virus-pop (mainly hip-hop). Started getting really upset by the news of Trump’s promise - I see it as a threat - to relax work restrictions sooner than later or the sake of the economy. Until the spread of the virus is under control, it is suicide. Tweeted impotently.
2 LEAR poems. Added some things to our food delivery order - couldn’t get celery, oddly.
Learned that a jazz pianist, Mike Longo, who lived in my therapist’s building, died of the virus, at 83. He was known for a long association w/ Dizzy Gillespie. I’d been given his name to call for lessons, but never did. https://www.wbgo.org/post/mike-longo-prominent-jazz-pianist-known-his-tenure-dizzy-gillespie-dies-83#stream/0
Tried the Rite Aid - they hadn’t unpacked the shipment, didn’t know what they had. I’ll try at 6 am. Anyway, Bree says she doesn’t need hand sanitizer, just rubbing alcohol, so that’s one less thing to try to procure.
Played a couple of Bach inventions, twice each, badly. Improvised a little. First I’ve touched the piano since ‘true’ lockdown (which I date from Tuesday; this is a week.)
Finished 50 p. quota Claussen. Disturbed by connections between Adorno and Benjamin’s family/class backgrounds and my own.
20 p. Milne. A few minutes of The German Sisters.
Lights out a little after 11.
