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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
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.

Thrive to spite them
JZ I hope you feel better soon and the quarantine time doesn't make you all stir crazy.
Matthew's brother came over to fix the back steps (they are a trip hazard). They came through the house originally but left through the side gate. we stayed, not 6 feet apart but definitely apart and I Lysoled everything they touched (which wasn't much). But it was kind of good I passed on the box of gloves I have so his SIL can give them to someone who is considered an essential worker and is interacting with people.
I discovered with Instacart I can get Aldi to deliver and Publix so if we need groceries I'm going to insist they are delivered. I dont know if Wal Mart here has delivery.
I also had a little talk of "please don't send Matt's mom stuff about the virus" and there was an agreement not to forward any information since it just makes her more anxious so that's good too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, JZ! I'm glad you feel OK, and wish you all the best in quarantine. Yikes.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Guys- I seriously might actually be deployed as my actual job to sew masks. We'll see the School of Nursing is being asked if we can take this on, and it would be kind of weird for them to not ask me.
