Love to the zmayhems!!!
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Ohio is indeed now on shelter in place. It should have happened a week ago.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Literally the only symptom I have is the fever--haven't even coughed today. For me, it's 14 days after symptoms end; for Hec and Matilda, it's 14 days from Friday evening, when I started self-isolating. If neither of them develops any symptoms then they're done and fine; if symptoms start, then 14 days from when they end. I feel ridiculously normal.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Healthma to the ZMayhems.
Meanwhile, Mr. S had a meltdown because we wanted him to stop ripping up newspapers, and put him in his room. He's still getting to sleep later than he should, and we don't know what to do. This whole thing is very frustrating.

What is even happening?
JZ keep feeling normal, baby. I'm sorry you have it. I hope it stays this mild and then you can walk around knowing you have some immunity.
Drew, I'm sorry you had to furlough your workers.

JZ, are you alternating ibuprofen* and Tylenol?
*The previously stated info about ibuprofen being contraindicated in patients with Covid-19 is emphatically not true. There is zero evidence behind it.

It's a tough time for kids his age, but especially for him.
I've made two masks! I had to figure out how the sewing machine works (after many years of letting it sit in a box) but the skills they sort of come back to me. Except the needle's eye has gotten a lot smaller than I remembered, but that's because my close up eyesight's gotten a lot worse, SIGH.
But, masks! Which may well be slamming the barn door shut after we've may all already have it, but I feel like I've done something.

And JZ! Now I can open up a whole new can of WORRY on your behalf.

Tep, I'm using naproxen, supplementing with Tylenol at bedtime. So far, haven't even gone up to 101F, and currently 99.1.

Excellent! May your entire disease course be as boring and uneventful as it is right now.
