I'm officially working from home. The libraries are closing for 3 weeks, schools too. Buses won't allow any standing passengers, bars and restaurants have to observe the 2 m. distance between diners. They really need to shut down bars before Paddy's Day or it's going to be a mess.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

I am waiting on the bus situation. I am essential so I have to go in tomorrow, but if there is no bus there is no going in. It would take me 3 hours and 7 minutes to walk, and everyone has agreed that is crazy. If they need me, they will have to come and get me.

Ask if they'll give you a taxi or Uber voucher. Extreme times call for extreme solutions.
You can imagine how hard it is for stuff to shut down for St Pat's here, but they're going to do it. The Dropkick Murphys are giving a special online concert, though, for free on a number of platforms.
The Globe had a cute article on the people lining up for their essential marijuana needs over the quarantine.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
The governor of MA has shut down all restaurants and bars in MA for on site consumption.

I hope meara is able to get back into the country without a multihour screening.

Can you take a cab and be reimbursed for it? It's worth asking, if you're considered essential.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Me too, Hec.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Tim's dad's retirement community robocalled to say they're not allowing any visitors effective immediately. It's a good move.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I hope meara is able to get back into the country without a multihour screening.
That seems unlikely, right?
Definitely see about cab reimbursement, Sophia!
I can't believe they are shutting down bars here, but it feels like the horse has left the stable after this weekend.

The Planet Fitness around the corner had plenty of cars in the parking lot, and the hipster diner was full at 1 pm. I despair. There were also a ton of people in the regional park on a rainy day, so I assume they were all people who were distancing in the outdoors.
Now I am on the couch with a hot toddy and an amusing MCU AU involving the Holy Grail and Natasha as an archaeologist...
