Owen is NOT driving in a car! (Is he? Ohmygod.)

Nope. Owen was sitting in a high chair during the Ohio trip, which was at the most 10 years ago! How does time keep speeding up.

There was something I can't-even-begin-to-comprehend-nor-explain in Israeli Parliament today ( [link] and [link] ), and Israelis found a perfect way to protest without violating the health ban against gathering (up to 10), keep distance of at least 2 meters from one another, and still count as a protest: protest, but in cars. 1-2 in each car (2 if from the same household), no violation of health ban! (Unless the government will order a full quarantine starting from tomorrow).

I have no idea what to say about the news and I do not like the angle of the protest, but I love creative thinking and thinking that what's happening is chaotic disgrace.

It's Day 1 and I'm already wishing I could go back to work.

I did go for a long walk and tripped and skinned my hand and knee badly. Came home and the news is blaring and then I'm trying to clean up my hand and knee and go to the bathroom and my phone rang and suddenly 2 ppl are yelling for me to get it. When I finally did answer Matthew asks is if I want to sit on the couch and talk to my mom , 3 feet from where the TV is so loud .

I came into the bedroom and closed the door and could still hear the damn tv.

Mom went and saw the place she had decided to move to. And she's having second thoughts. It's tiny. She doesn't have pictures but she is so disappointed. Supposedly it has 3 bedrooms but one of the rooms is more of an office size and the "eat in kitchen" is if you have a half table and at most 2 chairs. And there I no real outdoor space .

So she is trying to decide what to do because she had already made up her mind and was so excited and now she isn't sure she can get rid of enough of her stuff to move by the 1st. If she will even be able to because of the virus etc.

Connecticut just announced we are doing online classes for the rest of the semester. Joy.

Someone at our school set up an online petition demanding that classes be marked pass or fail this semester because of the stress on the students.

In regard to the fathers (any mothers?) who are not taking precautions, I saw a story about an older couple - in their 70s, I believe - who announced to their adult daughters that they'd booked and were still planning on taking a cruise this month. Leaving from a virus hotspot. Both daughters called them up and yelled at them until they decided that maybe they should cancel.

Owen is driving?!? Wow.

Since seattle is ahead of the curve I had gone and bought several hand lotions before leaving on my trip the other week, because my hands were already getting super dry from washing!!

I'm pretty sure Ryan is like 6 years old, so I don't know what this high school nonsense is.

Based on the possibility that maybe I'm sick based on some vague blood test results, it's fun trying to figure out how to act at home. Right now, I'm trying not to touch common surfaces. I have no coughing or anything, but based on research, you can maybe be asymptomatic for as long as 11 days?

Can I actually keep from touching things that long? That's a lot of using my t-shirt or a paper towel to open doorknobs.

Why are cruises even still a thing right now??

Cruises should not be a thing now!

All y'all with these outlandish stories of your tiny children driving cars and going to high school, I'm not buying it. That's just silly.
