Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, Jessica. I applaud your mother for her good sense.

Every day I get reports from the Tesla service department from the kids. Contrasts abound. 50/50 split between elderly customers coming in for completely unnecessary elective type service and in the face of all the employees and surfaces vs the customer who refused to pick up his car from service and made them tow it to his house. He greeted the tow truck in full hazmat gear, full face mask, suit, gloves. My DIL showed me his picture. She has told many customers no when they want silly service despite knowing it will hurt her extraordinary customer service scores. She is very annoyed they are allowing elective services.

I'm so sorry, Jess

And we're back to not shipping anything. I don't understand why the state-wide order would change our plans since we were already under the county order, but it is clearly not my job to understand anything we are doing or someone would give me a hint what was going on.

I was able to place an order with Target via SHipt for some groceries to be delivered tomorrow evening. Lucky, right? I checked off for them to substitute at their discretion without consulting me so I am looking forward to surprises!

Shoot, I meant to get ice cream. Ooh, they let me add it! Nice.

What is even happening?

I'm so sorry for your loss, Jess. Peace to you and your family.

(I'm glad your mom did the right thing.)

FWIW, I've had luck using Instacart for next day delivery when my local grocery store (HEB) was full up for a week. Interesting times.

The status is NOT quo.

Much love to you and your family, Jessica.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm so sorry, Jessica.

DH's employer, who last year set a $20 minimum wage across the company, just announced that they had to shut everything down, and anyone who can work from home must WFH. But anyone who cannot WFH will be paid full pay and benefits for the duration of the COVID-19 shut down.

Some companies are doing the right thing.
