We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

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}}

Herding cats for fun

Big day of chores here today. Scrubbed sinks and counters and vacuumed thoroughly. Tomorrow is a week since I left the house. DH may be WFH until April 15. Thank goodness he's already got a dedicated room for his study with a nice big desk.

I can't stop taking naps. My cat Sophie joins me right away and she's so comforting with her purring and tender kisses.

I got the tRump postcard and thought it read like someone wrote it for him.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

OMG, my brother got married today! He informed me by sending me a link to the video. They got married standing in the front yard with the officiant 6 feet away.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Goodness, a lot happened this week.

JZ, so relieved your dad is doing better, and you too.

Dana, I feel like you described a lot lately.

Trudy, may you all get well and be safe.

askye, I hope this all works out well for you. You have good insight.

Love to all of you!

It's all I can do to keep training and being useful at my new job while keeping up with my two freelance gigs. I don't want to give up either of them, because money, but it may be more than I can handle.

Thrive to spite them

Thanks Zen. I should email my...I guess at this point my ex therapist since I haven't seen him in so long...and let him know that he does good work. I seriously would not be handling this so we without his help .

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wow,aurelia! Congratulations to him/them

I am feeling pretty ok right now. Temp is 96.3 which seems odd but not concerning, right? More NyQuil and back to bed with the hope that this is a passing bug/reaction to stress...

information libertarian

Thanks for checking in.

We did our weekly grocery shopping early due to running out of milk (13 year old boy seems to be living on it) and things were in good shape. The store had most things, with signs about customer limits for some things (mostly cleaning supplies, and chicken.) Notably absent still: flour. There weren't too many people (we went at 8am in the rain) and everyone was sensible.

Hil, were you looking for matzoh? Queen City Kroger has it.

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

Great moments in schadenfreude...

Boris "I shook hands with everybody to show the virus who's in charge" Johnson has tested positive for coronavirus.

Our wings are not tired.

OMG, my brother got married today!

Congrats all round!

Health~ma wishes for -t, and well all of us.

Boris Johnson apparently the latest to join to COVID-19 club. MSNBC keeps talking about the appalling lack of testing in Palm Beach County. My doctors are furious about the situation. Have a whole floor of suspected patients at a Boca hospital, but tests take a week or more to come back with results.

I have to think about grocery shopping...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I feel like my family and I need to wear giant flashing "WE ALL LIVE TOGETHER" signs when we go outside to defend the 4 of us walking close together.

Seriously considering getting one of those "day of the week" clocks (branded as retirement gag gifts usually) as an essential productivity tool.
