I went back and had missed NDs post. That sounds terrible

That reminds me, I don't think I have seen a post here or on Facebook from NoraDierdre lately. Has anyone heard from her?

I am home. My parental medical Fury Road trip to the hospital in St. Joe is DONE, Mom is now home for the next ?? weeks, and I think I just earned my first HAZMAT procedures certification: I went full zombie bite paranoid, and I regret NOTHING.

And now my adrenal glands can stop working overtime, yeah, kthx...

(Once I get settled, I will be able to respond to convos like a polite human. Hi y'all!! Hoo boy! Whew!)

Not a ton of questions came in today, but I had answers for only a few. Things in govt tend to move a glacial pace, so adjusting to so many changes from federal and state govt throughout the day in real time is just not what we are set up for.

Nora's been posting on FB and Twitter. They're in Austin now.

Aw, man, my mom is pretty bummed to be ordered to shelter in place. She was sounding much more chipper yesterday when she was basically doing the same thing but it was voluntary. My folks are 77 and 78, so I'm grateful they are taking this seriously but they are also used to being able to go out and go for walks pretty much every day

I've been thinking this week about social distancing, and how special this community is and how lucky I am to have a group of friends where physical distance has always been irrelevant.

Anyway I love you guys and I'm glad you're here.

A friend of my mom's wishes we were saying physical distancing, rather than social, because we can and should still be socially close! Just from a distance.

well my day was mostly ok until Matthew's brother and siser in law stopped by and I got into heated words with his SIL because she said she doesn't trust vaccines and if they come out with a vaccine for Covid-19 she won't take it because she doesn't trust them. Also earlier she was giving Trump credit for the Democrat's Relief bill and I pointed out that it was from the House and the SEnate was going to vote against it originally. She broke out with "I really think Trump cares for people and is trying to help them"

I was able to keep my tongue when she said that.

but I had a good conversation with my store manager - he has ADD and takes Adderall and was asking me about my experiences with Vyvanse. He also said he thinks that there has to have been people at the store who have had it.

And I was really spacy because I forgot to take my meds this morning and didn't take them yesterday. I need to get a prescription called in so I can pick it up. I warned my co worker and then we ended up having a very rambly weird conversation about music. He had never heard of most people I mentioned but was shocked I knew who Run DMC are and that I like Kendrick Lamar.

So to add to the fun of 99% of our workforce wfh, the power went out at work. I'm told there was a small transformer fire. The UPSs failed to be uninterrupted. EVERYTHING went down & didn't come back up right.

And we're all on a really tight schedule because of something that might not even happen because of COVID19. I'm a really happy home bound camper.

The WH is now saying no gatherings of more than 10 people. This is not yet a mandate, but it is their guidance nation wide.
