Hi Nilly!! So good to hear from you!
I'm in Mexico on vacation, chilling and eating tacos and morbidly reading the news...I made the mistake of checking my work email and found that my coworker who is supposed to be covering for me (and there is lots to do) apparently suddenly won't be at work yesterday or today? So I'm annoyed at that and thinking about several urgent issues that probably got dropped and will be a huge headache when I'm back. Grrr.
Nilly!! Your kids sound terrific, and I also hope that boredom is the worst that comes from the virus for you.
I feel that this will resonate: [link]
I'm dealing with one million emails about what is cancelled, what students are doing, what we should be doing, etc. etc., but otherwise just counting down to my own vacation next week.

Ha!
DO NOT CHECK THE EMAIL MEARA!!!!
Mmmm, Tacos
I feel like I have been training my whole life for Greetings via Interpretive Dance
Is it wrong that I keep thinking it's time to read Love in the Time of Cholera?
I didn't even like it that much last time I read it. It's just the right title for these days
[I have no news to catch you up on, Nilly. Imagine some apologetic interpretive dance.]
Oh, Laura! They're grownups! Wow.
(And you're going to be such a wonderful grandma! Your future grandchildren are so lucky!)
meara, no! The whole point of vacation is not being bothered by work. Oy. Is there a way for you to minimize those thoughts? Anything that will enable you to actually enjoy your time away and not be bothered by the consequenses?
Jesse! They are terrific. I find myself surprised, on a daily basis, at how lucky we are by getting those two. And I'm saying this completely objectively, of course.
And, yes, the amount of work created by all this uncertainty. Wow. Just the e-mails to notify students of my absence, when it's certain, no questions about it, is so much. And the uncertainty makes for so much more work.
-t, I'm very much in the camp of "no news is good news", so letting me know that you go on your daily routine is great! Thanks!

Apparently you either definitely should or definitely should not read Station 11 by Emily Mandel right now.
Husband's on the phone with the recruiter. Everyone cross your fingers that it might be a good job.
Yeah, I can see that. Both ways. Eta: Station 11, that is
Job~ma for Mr Dana!
