I was laughed off for being irrational over expressing worries/slight disgust about double dipping of food and sharing of utensils with people I don't share fluids with.

Save a seat for me at the irrational table. If I'm not cool with sharing a bed (or wasn't when I had nightmares as a kid), I'm not cool with sharing a spoon.

NOPE NOPE NOPE to double dipping or sharing utensils. Ew. Gross.

Thank you. After two friends were all "well, it's a matter of personal preference/a cultural thing/yes, you're being slightly irrational", I was beginning to question the health norms I follow.

I mean, it really is slightly gross and a violation of boundaries.

well, it's a matter of personal preference

Yes, I personally prefer not to share your germs!

DH made me print out my Whole Foods order that can't be delivered and he is going there physically to shop!

I went out and panic bought a few things. Wal mart had TP and paper towels but not a lot of cleaning supplies, no flour and no yeast. I want yeast. I didn't buy many canned things since I have a freezer and wanted to save that but then I think I could have bought better. I don't know.I did get some cat litter and cat food -and that aisle was decimated as well. And I had to struggle to find tea bags. Lots of decaffinated. I came home and told Matthew and his mom we have to cut the strength of ice tea we are making.

Some people were just picking up a few things but I don't really want to go out again and we should be ok for awhile. Plus it means if we do need to go get stuff we can just get in and out quickly.

I don't think they'd tell us if he tests positive.

You don't think his urge to whine and complain would overrule any political thought? I guess they could take his phone again.

I don't they'd tell us. The negative result he's announced means nothing to me.

He'd lie because of his own vanity, because of his need to never be wrong (and he'd see a positive test as evidence of that). He'd lie because he's him.

edit: parenthesis placement

He'd lie because he's him.

Exactly. I expect they did make him take a test, but he will need to be retested if indeed he was negative this time.

Timelies all!

I made a supermarket run after lunch today. They were out of chicken yesterday, but had restocked so I picked up a couple packages of breasts. (I also bought ice cream, mac-and cheese, paper plates and chips. Not to mention my prescription that had automatically refilled, even though I still have a fair number of them. Better safe than sorry.)

Olivia emerged from her room and I asked her how she was doing.

"Just clearing out a month's worth of existential angst!"

The kids are alright.

We deep cleaned both kids' rooms today just in case we all have to work/school from home for the rest of the month (or beyond). Put a bunch of stuff out on the curb including an old IKEA play table/chair set and a massive bag of crayons. Tomorrow I'm going to have the kids go through their old Legos and make giveaway bags we can leave on the stoop.

I inventoried all of our food and determined that we have about a week's worth of meals before things are going to start getting weird. Hopefully I'll be able to go out shopping before then to fill in the gaps (mostly fresh produce).
