I got the postcard a day or 2 ago. You make a good point, DXM, that it *could* have been full of what that man has actually been saying and therefore much much worse.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

and now I can't find the physical w2 s I was sent nor can I access the website , I got some weird error message I don't understand and I have questions about unemployment filing so tomorrow I'll be calling unemployment office and work for info about my w2. Sigh. Not looking forward to tomrrow.

Thanks for the hugs and support. It really means a lot.
I'm hourly so I'm furloughed and as much as it sucks it's not as bad as it could be. I can file for unemployment, but I still have my job when things calm down,my insurance will stay as it is.
And I realized looking at my payslip for the PTO I requested and the days I didn't work last week my pay was $1/hour more. I don't know if they just did that for commission people but I assume it will be like that for this week. And the way they manipulated the hours so I could get all my commission I'm doing all right. Between my pay Friday and whatever the check is I'll get for this week that is going to be about the same as my take home pay for Feb when I had reduced hours.
I don't have to worry about being evicted, I don't have to worry about paying utilities because Matthew and his Mom will have that covered. I just have to contact my car insurance and credit cards and talk to them about options.
And, weirdly, even making so little money a month is kind of blessing right now. If I get a full stimulus check that would be about a month's pay for me. I can't run out and help others out financially right now .
I don't know when I'll go back to work but I don't think it will be in April and now I can kind of figure out how to create a shelter in place life for myself for at least a month

I'm sure they will be appreciated when they get there, msbelle. You're very kind
I feel a little fluish. Temp is up but not by much, I do feel flushed and have chills and am achy. NyQuil and bed is seeming like maybe a good choice for this evening? There's no one for me to quarantine myself from, at least, so that's easy...

I feel a little fluish.
Now you've got to check in with us regular like.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I can't remember her board name.
That's a real skill when you've been away awhile.

Be safe, -t!
I was good all week, even stayed 6 feet away from my sister on our morning walk. Tonight I got a burrito at the taco truck down the street (SO EXCITED to have a taco truck in walking distance!) and made myself a blood orange margarita.
This is all fucking terrifying and I really have to force myself to not read the news, because it just stresses me out and and and.
Anyway, thank you Buffistas for being kind and supportive people. {{hugs}}
