Zoom-Ready

When your hair, clothing, jewelry, and make-up are pulled together enough that you can get onto a video call without embarrassing yourself and/or scaring everyone else. This is especially important/ challenging when working alone at home.
Thank goodness I had an hour warning before the meeting to get myself presentable and Zoom-ready. I put in my contacts, fixed hair and make-up, put on my cov-earrings - - but true confession: I was still in my pandemic-pants!

Covid-Quiet

When places that should be packed with people are seemly peaceful but very uncomfortably quiet.
The covid-quiet, peaceful streets here in the heart of New York city are a bit upsetting, and depressing. This is Columbus Circle - we need our tourists, shoppers, locals, businesses, gawkers, buskers, artists, and everyone making noise and a big, fun mess!

Masked-Out

When you've been wearing your mask for too many hours, and are sweaty, light headed, ready to risk fines or even COVID-19....well, ready to risk anything other that someone else's well being.
After being in meetings all day I am masked-out and just want to rip this off my face! I would rather stay socially distanced at home alone than have to wear this one more minute.

Horror-giggle

The tendency to continue laughing in the face of the destruction of democracy and life we know and love.
As we watch Trump destroy democracy, facts, the climate, education, etc, we should be cowering in fear or up in arms, instead we can't resist jokes and horror-giggles at his clownish antics, despite the real danger to all.

1999-ing

When you make a phone call without having an appointment to make a phone call.
Just pick up the phone and call - imagine!
Because of the lockdown I don't take anything for granted, and have been 1999-ing old friends to re-connect. We never know when it's going to be too late, so just call and re-connect right now!

Smile-it-Forward

When you try to make random people laugh and smile because it will release endorphins, and you know they will be kinder to the next person, and they to the next, and they also, and so on and so forth. One silliness makes a better world.
Jane loves to be constantly silly and make people laugh, even if they are laughing at her, because she loves to smile-it-forward.

Often-Wrong: Never-in-Doubt

When someone is sure of their opinion, but unopen to facts, truth, and light entering their mind, heart, and soul.
Patty complained that I like to check facts, but she prefers to trust her instincts. She is often-wrong: never-in-doubt.
