Jess I am so sorry. Love to you and your whole family.
That's insane troll logic!

I'm worried about the homeless people in so many places. Boston is putting together special housing for the ones who need to be quarantined.
But a lot of people have their routines, which includes go out to the library for a couple lazy hours, or hang out in a Starbucks getting work done, and without places to go, they're bereft.
We have one resident who at 99 years old, is remarkably hale and hearty. A couple times a week she totters on over to the Marshalls via a bus line and shops her way through the store for a couple hours. At least she's not doing that now, but it's a great source of fun for her, and at that age she deserves it.
Also Marshall's is shutting down for a while, so at least she's not going to be tempted.
I really think we're going to see over 50% unemployment before this is over.

I'm setting up my new TiVo I got in last week. Setting it up in the upstairs office/2nd living room. I may just be streaming while WFH at a real desk set up. YAY.
I also remembered to get out recycling tonight which got several extra show and small item boxes out of the house. YAY.
I am going to try to ride this wave of productivity for another 30 minutes and then go to bed since this near constant hum of stress that is way way way out of my control seems to be taking a toll on me that makes me want to sleep.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
My mother was trying to tell me they worked from home during the blizzard of 78, but I can't figure out how, with no computers/access to any files/etc.
My master's comprehensive was scheduled for three days after the blizzard hit, so I just hunkered down and studied. That was my plan for the week anyway, so I already had everything I needed. I had to walk to school to take the exam, about a mile, but uphill all the way on semi-plowed roads. Fun times.

I'm sorry, Jessica. May your grandmother go peacefully and in comfort.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

THAT makes sense.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Jess, I'm so sorry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm sending good thoughts your way, Jess.

I'm so sorry,Jess, that must be terribly hard not to be with your grandmother and with all the family.

Plei, you could go yell at them from their front lawn? :) Apparently my sister dropped off shopping for my parents on their stoop and then talked to them from her car while they were in the house, LOL.
They live on a hill and are hard of hearing! Even if they were out on the deck, I am not sure they'd hear me!
