Apparently that surgeon is one of the best in several counties. What a stroke of luck!

I think that's almost assuredly enough stress for Teppy.

In other Katie-related news dumping, the grocery store was so crowded shoppers had to find a cart from someone who had finished shopping. Never have I seen this at my local grocery. They were completely out of toilet paper, and the only pasta left was lying loose on the floor. Things are getting serious around here.

Pearlie's progress is trending back to normal. This illness is mysterious because the blood test was pretty much normal.

Shir, can you get some Mirataz for your kitty? It's a transdermal appetite stimulate and you put on gloves and rub it into the ear. I think it helped Pearlie remember she likes kibble.

I love you people, but most especially at a time like this.

aurelia, after you've had them all sterilize/wash everything reasonably reachable, how about spending some time doing a table read of the last play you had? (Social distance seating, 'natch.)

I told my boss at work that I was up for extra shifts when/if necessary. At worst, if we lose staff to quarantine or have a case inside the residence, we could end up with 80 residents asked to stay in their rooms and trays of food brought round to them.

We have several people on hospice and/or who need 24hr attendance. The hospice people are currently the only ones who are allowed unlimited visitors so long as they pass our 'health check' which involves taking their temperature and seeing if they're coughing or sneezing.

Holy shit, Steph.

Thanks for doing that, Theo!

Timelies all!

The latest from here is that Gary's workplace is having everyone WFH for the next two weeks. The mystery convention I go to every spring(late April/early May) has announced they're postponing. I hope the new date is one I can attend.

Gary's going to brave the supermarket(s) today for the weekly grocery run.We'll see what's available.

I am about to brave the small supermarket. I don't NEED much, but I would like some meat if possible. I am also getting TWO boxes of wine.

Happy Pi Day! [link]

Also, here is another video I enjoyed, from a YouTuber cardiologist with a sense of humor: [link]

{{{Tep}}} Wow! I hope his recovery is smooth and easy.

First - Happy ð… Day!

I haven't been to the grocery store. My son, who works at Walmart grocery, says he spends his whole shift answering questions about when they are going to get more XYZ. He doesn't know. They get deliveries every day, but deliveries are down so instead of stocking they have him wandering aisles doing customer service. Considering how much they get from China and other places apparently the distribution chain is drying up.
