We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Super happy about my klonopin prescription right now.

I'm self-medicating with wine and fanfic.

Hiking trails and parks are open, but there's also a mention that non-essential travel by foot (they list a bunch of modes of travel but by foot is specifically in there) is prohibited, so, dunno!

Yeah, I'm like, running/walking the dog IS essential! Both of us will lose our minds if we can't get out.

So my niece thinks non-essential travel means that everyone who could WFH must. I'm still going into the office this week because I don't have my new laptop yet, and all the reports are that the agency network is worse than molasses. I'll get a lot more done in the office.

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

Some of my coworkers commute from across the bridge and I guess they are supposed to work from home for 3 weeks regardless of what happens in Solano county? I'm sure my company will be okay with that, they are pretty good about letting people wfh, but it's a weird situation. We're currently set to wfh for 2 weeks, but who knows what will end up happening. As long as the port stays open and our DC can keep operating we aren't impacted to badly. Our salespeople are hamstrung, but everyone else is in the same boat. And I personally have over three weeks of sick time. And two weeks vacation. Not my first choice for how to use it, but if I need to I'm well positioned, I guess.

Huh, Doordash just told me that restaurants in my area were closed for dine in but open for pickup and delivery. I didn't think that was in effect here, but I also haven't checked in several hours...

Now tagless for your comfort.

I read a romance novel recently where the tub fell through the ceiling requiring the tenant to guest at a love interest's house. But wow.

Dad's 80th birthday has been canceled. My sister's family canceled their spring break in Florida.

On the bright side, a lovely patron came back to the desk to ask me how I was doing with all of this. So not all people suck.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm self-medicating with wine and fanfic.

My pile of library books is staring balefully at me and my 4 tabs of fanfic open in Firefox.

Teppy, I have books that I need for work but I cannot resist a second listen to a gay romance audiobook about an astronaut and his capcom. Some things are super hard to resist.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Dallas has shut down restaurants, bars, movie theaters, etc., for a week starting tonight. Restaurants still open for drive-through, pickup, and delivery.

Huh. City hall is closed. Didn't think about that.

What is even happening?

Our town hall is closed, too.
