It took forever (there are a lot of episodes!) but Jake and I finally finished watching Cheers over the weekend. It was mostly good, but there was a lot of sexist stuff that would never fly these days (for good reason). Ahh, the 80s.
And, Diane Chambers > Rebecca Howe.

A little over a week and a half ago, Jake got sick. It seemed more like the flu or a cold than covid. But, then one of his friends got sick with basically the same thing and got tested and it came back positive. So, Jake was tested as well and you guessed it–covid. I guess the moral of the story is to go get tested if you are sick.
Jake has since recovered and is done with his isolation period. Since I had close contact with him during his illness, I scheduled a covid test. I got my results and it came back negative. I don’t know how I dodged that bullet! Still, following the protocols, I need to quarantine for two weeks from the last day of his isolation period (because, theoretically, I could have contracted it from him on the last day he was contagious, and it could take two weeks to incubate. probably not very likely, but, I’ll take one for the team). And, I haven’t gone anywhere since last weekend, so it’s really going to be more like three weeks for me. Ugh. Not that I mind staying home so much, but I like walking the dogs at the shelter and I had a few trips to some stores and some other things planned. Oh well, I guess it could be much worse.
Since we’re in the middle of an entertainment drought, I’m rewatching some shows and movies I’ve seen before. This one held up pretty well. The only thing I’m surprised about is that it seems like Jennifer Lawrence’s career never really took off. From looking at IMDB, she has a couple movies in the works, but her last few films did not fare too well critically or at the box office.
My rating: 4/5
What a great show this was! I finished it last night and I wish there were more episodes. As soon as I’m done rewatching The Office, I’m going to watch this one again.
My rating: 4/5
We’ve been wanting to replace the remaining windows at the office for a very long time and it finally happened last week. And it was great timing since no one is working at the office. It would have been difficult to shuffle everyone around.
The basement renovation hasn’t seen any action in quite a while so I would like to hire that out, too. There were some things (framing, electrical) that Brian was working on down there and it would probably make sense for him to wrap those things up since they are almost done, but after that, I’d like to get a quote to have some of the remaining work done. I mean, it’s pretty much walls, floors, and ceiling. At the very least, it would make the most sense to pay someone to do the drywall because that is a job that neither of us wants to do. It would be great if we could have the basement done (or at least usable) by the time we get back to the office (I’m figuring spring 2021 for that).
