I don't know if we eat weird food that doesn't get sold out, or what.

I went routine grocery shopping today, and although there were a lot of people I found everything I wanted except Welch's grape juice—apparently, the situation is not yet dire enough for people to resort to buying Juicy Juice. Fresh veggies, avocados, organic boxed soup, spanakopita, and mouthwash don't seem to be in particular demand among survivalist hoarders.

Pix, you and ND are in my thoughts. Sending all the ~ma to you.

We're expecting PA will shut down restaurants and bars state-wide shortly. We'll be able to stay open if takeout is permitted, but I'm worried about our bartenders and waitstaff over an extended shutdown.

I still can't find toilet paper. It's beyond ridiculous at this point. Aggravated at the pictures of people celebrating St. Patty's Day in bars, and at the people still traveling without a care in the world.

Love and ~ma to everyone that needs it.

I am now convinced my kids will be schooled remotely for the rest of the year.

Yeah, my school has said we'll take it one week at a time, but if we're supposed to avoid gatherings of over 50 people, I don't see how we can come back to school until that's over.

Lots of good thoughts going out to everyone. This just gets more and more surreal. Amy and Pix/ND, I really hope you all get through this OK.

And because it deserves a separate post: Congratulations, Maria! I'm so happy for you both. I wish you many happy years together.

Oh Kate that poor woman! What a mess.

Landed but we will see on the long lines...

THIS!

Congratulations, Maria! I'm so happy for you! I'm happy for him too, cause he gets you.

I'm so worried about everyone.

Congratulations, Maria! What a good bit of news!

Congratulations, Maria! You deserve the best, and he's getting the best.

I'm smoking in the cold cobwebby basement of my mom's house as I send her poop gifs via text as she suffers (and I truly mean that) through her colonoscopy prep and we go to a hospital tomorrow and my anxiety is sky-high right now.

It's possible I will be up all night with her. Then decontaminate before I let her touch a wheelchair at the hospital, then leaving the hospital to wait at home or in car (no fucking WAY I'm sitting in a hospital waiting room for a few hours unnecessarily) for her procedure to be done.

...this is not a routine colonoscopy, btw. I'd've cancelled that shit last week.

I can't really share my mom's poop chute miseries on SM, but I honestly would be LESS nervous if *I* was getting ACTUAL surgery tomorrow. I had to vent. She's so vulnerable.
