Our wings are not tired.

Yesterday, I really felt like I was over the crushing anxiety portion of the social distancing, but nope.

I really don't think I would be doing as well without Buffistas.

Earlier when I was combing my hair I was looking to see if I had more gray. (which would be great IMO) My sister rapidly turned gray when her son was very ill a couple years ago so we all check our gray when we are stressed out.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I went to the grocery Tuesday, right before our stay-at-home order took effect ... it was pretty well stripped of everything. When I went to pay, I made sure to stand on the markings so I'd be six feet away from the person ahead. An older man saw that there was a gap between the person ahead of me and the person ahead of her, who was putting their groceries on the belt, and stepped in ahead of her. She got his attention, said there was a line with distancing; he moved out and got behind me. When it was my turn to put my stuff on the belt, he moved up to right behind me to start putting his on the belt. The cashier told him to move back, then looked at me and said, "some people just don't get it." And there's a lot of that going on. Obviously, Amy's boss is one.

The city has closed the parks, the museums are closed, the libraries are closed (although they're making ebooks available online), all the stores except drugstores and grocery stores are closed ... and there are still people going out in groups. Maryland police arrested one couple because they were having a party for, I believe, 50-60 people; charges were endangering their five children.

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

Oh, man, Amy, that is infuriating! None of that is ok

Because books.

Sara's doing well. She overdid it in terms of activity a little yesterday, so this morning she was sort of weepy and really sore, but I gave her ibuprofen and she went back to bed, where she's been sleeping.

::hugs sj:: The anxiety part of this whole situation is really crushing. Be kind to yourself.

I'm standing in a long line outside Trader Joe's. They're limiting the number of people in the store and the line is distanced, but it seems to be a line all hours of day and night, so might as well.

Work just changed from "we understand you might have kids at home we are flexible" to "if you want to take unpaid leave or go to part time part pay you can, otherwise we expect 8 hours". Boo.

Also my sister is going to have surgery on Monday.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That sucks, Amy. I'm so tired of thoughtless people.

Ours is doing that, too. It must be a corporate policy, which is pretty smart. Plus, it's a goddamn DELIGHT to be able to shop in TJs without 25 people breathing down my neck.

Amy, bakeries have really big ovens, don't they?

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

I'ma gonna skip TJs for the duration, I think. My local stores (including the health-food coop that has been in business since 1933) have basically what I need.

Amy, bakeries have really big ovens, don't they? HAH!

I'm trying to do a little online training, and signed up for a 2-hour training on federal emergency planning, and it's so fucking ironic and distressing to see that we have a system in place and they didn't fucking use it.

Because books.

meara, I'm so sorry about your sister's ankle. I hope Zen was right in that maybe we hit the magic number 3 now and ankle injuries can end?

Our oven is pretty big, yeah...
