I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am "hosting" a zoom session for a class right now. It is surprisingly similar to stage managing, except the whole audience can hear you try to trouble shoot as there seems like no way to talk with just the instructor and myself. I am also learning about symptoms of Multiple sclerosis and now I think I have MS.

I think we've reached the "I have to laugh about it or I'd cry (without stopping)" stage.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Thrive to spite them
I am so pissed at Matthew and his mom right now and I can't say anything. They have been ...self medicating more with pot and it's been keeping the peace so whatever. But now there is someone in the house, sitting on our couch less than a foot away from Matthew . And this person has said "if I get it and live then I live and if I get it and die then I die, this is just the natural order". and they are sharing a bong and smoking after each other. All I want to do is Lysol the damn couch. or never sit on it again and make them all take showers and not touch Matthew for 14 days.

What is even happening?
Oh askye, the bong sharing is ridiculous.
I know you may have just been venting, but I would Lysol the couch AND would not touch Matthew for 14 days. We haven't been mixing households for over a week (so no visiting friends; that's why God made Al Gore invented the internet).
That's just not fair to you.
The bakery we go to is closing. I was hoping they were still considered essential because we have to interact with less people to get bread there, and it is better bread.
The MA list is pretty deep and wide (lots of essential businesses). Charlie's letting restaurants keep providing take-out. Do you know if this was a decision made at the city level?

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
askye, I'm so sorry. Their response to your concerns and all of this is less than ideal. You deserve better.
Tep, I totally understand needing Tim to stay home and wanting to strangle him at the same time.
Dana, how did DH's interview go?
Has anyone heard from Gud? I'm worried that social distancing measures aren't ideal for his home life right now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would absolutely flip out about that askye.

Individual businesses are making different decisions anyway -- like Flour closed all their locations last week, I think at least partly because they couldn't see a way for the staff to be safe at work, even with all take-out.
