Also, you're quitting smoking, Jesse? High-five!
I did it! Last Sunday!
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

At the moment, I'm mostly anxious about going out to get milk and eggs. Once we're done with that, I'll have less specific anxiety.
I'm trying to decide whether or not it is safer to send TCG out for perishables or to have them delivered. Thoughts?

Now tagless for your comfort.
And DH just showed up at work saying he'd been kicked out of the office and ordered to WFH until further notice. I now have panicking parents picking up piles of books for sequestered kiddos.

Woo, Jesse!
Can you have them delivered and left on a porch, sj? That seems like it would minimize everyone exposure.

I think so, -t, but they would still have to touch everything. t tries to keep taking calm breaths

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Closing the dorms? Where are students supposed to go?
My school contracted with local hotels to put up students who couldn't go home. I suspect they only thought to do this after there was some push back from the students.

I don't think you can avoid that, everything will be coming off the shelves. Can you wash stuff as you bring it in?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yeah, that's probably the best we can do, -t and only buy packaged items.

Someone will have touched everything no matter how it gets to your house, so I think just washing stuff in the house regardless is the way.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
One of my last acts for the day was running out for the small lists of items that our residents want, like water and juice and ginger snaps and so on, so I went to the nearest supermarket, which is the small Star Market on Beacon Street.. usually there is one register open midday, and maybe at most a dozen cars in the lot, which includes a laundromat.
Instead it was very nearly full, and I had to pull around once to find a parking spot. And then when I got up to the door... there were only three shopping carts left!
If the wee Star that no one but locals know about is THIS busy, what must the big stores be like?!
Inside it was pretty civilized, and I joked with the woman behind me who was buying a whiffle ball/bat set that she was set up for a plastic zombie invasion.
One of the guys at work said that an actual zombie apocalypse would be less work, and I suspect he may be right.
