Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

SO glad to here you and your family are OK, Matt.

COntinued ~am to JZ and her dad (and Hec and Matilda and Marcy and Prubs)

I hope you feel better, ZenKitty. Glad you have no fever.

I ended up removing my own nails- it is pretty rough, but now I can type properly and as fast as I need to without typo I gotta so much.

My uncle is upset because his volunteer job (at FoodLink, delivering packages of food to houses where people are shut in( decided people over 60 couldn't volunteer. He is as healthy as a horse- like a vegetarian who walks and runs every day and no health conditions except tendinitis. He looks like he is in his 50s. I understand why, although I would think putting meals in your car and then leaving them on people's porches is pretty low risk.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I braved Wegmans, with my newest Mark 3.0 face mask, which has a different strapping apparatus, which does a good job of keeping it close to my face and so that I don't smell anything BUT the mask. It was pretty busy at 9 AM, no TP but large packs of paper towels. They had an elaborate line arrangement, snaking back through the store with 6' intervals marked on the floor, and traffic directors stationed at the registers to alert you to which register was now open.

Also a 6' line in the register lane, which you were to keep to until the clerk had rung up the purchases and bagged them, then you advanced and used the credit card device.

Alas, the one thing that I wanted and was the reason that I made the hike over to Wegmans was out -- the Taylor Ham I can't get elsewhere. I mean, I could have waited and gone to a nearer supermarket, so I had to go out to a store anyway, but I could have saved this longer, busier trip.

Our wings are not tired.

So, no fever. That's good, but I still want to go back to bed and I've only been up an hour.

So many people I know are feeling exhaustion, and even chest pain, but no fever. Our non-medical speculation is the stress is causing its own set of symptoms.

Stress and allergy symptoms, which always make me exhausted this time of year.

Thrive to spite them

I am pretty sure at this point I'm going to get Covid 19. Matthew's sister called , her husband has a high fever and stomach pains. Yesterday she was over here and come to find out -she and her mom shared a bong and then Matthew and his mom did.

And his mom had to go out again today to get cigarettes and I heard her say about 5 minutes ago ( oh I haven't washed my hands today). I am drag the recliner in this room and start sleeping on it and spending all my time here and away from the rest of the house.

I reposted some Tweets on FB about this: the exhaustion and need to nap is absolutely a trauma response. Like, a textbook trauma response. It's a 100% normal reaction to a terrifying situation that we have very little control over.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There will be a third interview (with one of the company's customers?), but it sounds like he's the leading candidate.

Edit: Oh, an internal customer. That makes more sense.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's amazing to me that this is moving forward not just this week, but over the weekend! This is the Florida job?

Good luck, askye.

The conversation he had this morning was with the recruiter. Don't know yet when this third interview might happen. It does sound like they would have him work remotely for the moment.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

My cousin is a nurse for a private urology practice who is still working. Said cousin is still visiting my Aunt who is in her 70s, and that Aunt is still visiting my grandfather who is 92. I am so angry there might be actual steam coming out of my ears.
