All of this feels weird, odd, creepy, and more than a little unnerving.
I like the ruffles.

Wow, I missed a lot today. I was meeting all day about getting our courses online and supporting instructors. We are still considered essential and need to report. I need to get some coffee in case we really all shut down.

I'm trying not to go into a panic spiral, but I'm scared.

sophia, can you order delivery or order and have it ready for pick-up to cut down on your time?

Whee, retaliatory airstrikes in Iraq. Just what we needed right now.

SFUSD just closed down for three weeks. Basically starting spring break early and extending it. School tomorrow and then they're off until April.

Iraq also has a pandemic and locusts right now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Welp, my employer is about to have a reduction in power usage.

I feel like this year's Passover services are going to need an updated list of plagues.

aurelia, are Chicago theatres still open?
My assisted living is ramping up restrictions: we're only going to have two 'public' rooms where you can visit with friends and family, and no outside people coming for program events. Also no group trips -- I'll still be doing medical appointment runs, and shopping for residents, but probably the majority of my time will be as a third-string programs runner.
Our residents are SO damn vulnerable, old and frail. I'm very worried about them all.

Update from the hot zone*:
Schools are opening on a 2-hour delay tomorrow and closed Monday. (There was already a scheduled Superintendent's Day closure for Thursday, this supposedly replaces that but I feel like I'm in that joke and this is the equivalent of being told Grandma's on the roof.)
NYU classes are remote until the end of April.
All corporate employees are WFH until the end of March (yesterday it was just NY and Seattle).
*That's what we call Westchester now even though I'm miles away from New Rochelle and all the traffic goes in and out of the city not cross-county so I'm in no more actual danger than anywhere else outside the actual quarantine zone.
