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.

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

I'm so sorry, Jess. May her memory be a blessing.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So sorry, Jess.

I'm so sorry, Jessica.
