In other news, the news from Wuhan about the Coronavirus outbreak is... not good. Among other issues, it's infectious before symptoms show up. Which makes it hella hard to identify and contain.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Yes, that virus is extremely troublesome. This one of the times when the world becomes a very small place.

Oh my gosh. Not a sports person at all (except hockey rpf), but what a shock and how horrible for the families
Apparently I walk like a little old lady. The Uber drivers all seem to think I am senior! And are surprised when I am in my 40s. Which is a change from work where everyone thinks I am in my 30s! So weird.

Speaking of falls, we just had a disturbing incident here -- Rosemary tripped and fell in the living room and couldn't get herself up by herself. (Her knees and back are bad.) I only found out after 20 minutes when she called up to me.
I know better than to try to get her up by myself -- she's badly overweight on top of her other problems, so we called 911 and a full deployment of cop, fire department and ambulance came. Once upright, she was a little bruised but otherwise OK to stay home.
Now I'm going to worry that if she manages to fall again (and eventually, we all will) she might end up lying on the floor for a couple hours until I get home. SIGH.

She needs an emergency call necklace.

I'm in Roanoke, VA the night.
Got an offer on the house in TX. I've accepted, so fingers crossed nothing is found in inspection to change things.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Fingers crossed!
I agree re: Rosemary and the emergency call....

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yay,msbelle! Fingers crossed the sale goes through! Safe driving tomorrow, too.
Oh Tom. I'm so sorry. Ease of aches and fast healing to you.
Sophia, my personal experience says that hot compresses--as hot as you can stand--on your face until they cool, repeat two or three times, then use saline nose spray, blow out as much as you can, repeat with slightly cooler compresses and massage your face. Then blow again, another small dose of saline, and coat the inside of your nostrils with a thin coat of vaseline. If you take OTC pain meds, do that. The multi-attack approach sidetracks sinus headaches for me. It takes some time, but it does work, at least for me. If you try it I hope it works for you.
That's so scary about Rosemary--I agree, a call necklace sounds like a good idea.

Yeah. I have a project in Shanghai at the beginning of March and I'm supposed to send two employees there. It has me very concerned.
