Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

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

My experience so far is that the small local groceries (often immigrant-owned) seem to be overlooked by the panicking masses.

I just said farewell to my dogwalker for the duration: she refused to be paid while not working. So since I'm still on salary I may find something useful to do with that extra cash.

And we've finally been told that if we are not mission critical, are either within the most-vulnerable population or have incompatible family-care needs, and cannot telework (because no laptop or the system not working or our work isn't electronic), then we can stay home without being dinged for leave. I can telework, so I'm okay, but I'm so pleased they made this decision: it's safest for everyone.

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, the kids got a bunch of stuff from the Cuban market. Yum.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Interesting. The urgent care just up the road from us sent out an email saying that they can test for it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Tonight's dinner was pulled pork Carolina vinegar bbq sandwich from local place #3.

Work was just a lot of paperwork, but I got everything that came in processed.

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

Wow, really, Dana? That's great if true!

Ok, the decision has been made that we provide an essential product to consumers and can keep the distribution center open. This'll be interesting.

Yeah, I'm pretty impressed. I really like them, and they've dealt with my migraines a lot, but I have no idea how they got this set up.

Is anyone else trying to go to the Indigo girls Facebook Live thing? I literally can't figure out how to get there from their facebook page>

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Fred Pete, that's good news that you're becoming more ambulatory. Walking without a cane is a big deal!

Jessica, sincere condolences about your grandmother. So glad you all got to have a good time together at her birthday.

Nilly, glad to hear your quarantine is over.

My pledge to go back to strictly controlling my diet has gone out the window. New rule: When there's a pandemic, you get to eat what you want. I wish I'd bought chocolate ice cream.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

If you go to their Facebook page, over on the left side, there's a thing that says "Live." The audio is screwed up, though -- can't hear anything right now.
