Ugh, shrift, that sounds so hard.
I am also worried about Gud.
I've hit "chidi buying peeps" but not yet "stirring peeps into chili"
I just realize I have both Peeps and chili in the house....
Not Jewish, but I appreciated the thing going around the internet about how using whatever you currently have in the house for Passover in order to avoid a current plague should be the most kosher thing.

Dooooo eeeeeeeet.

Avoiding plague is very much in the spirit of the holiday.
I was able to get matzo because a friend has pre-ordered a ton for a community seder that obviously got canceled, so she was selling it to the rest of us. And grocery delivery in Cincinnati has a lot more of a wait time than usual, but it's nothing like what I've heard from the NYC area. (Plus, I started ordering Passover food a few weeks ago, because my usually completely overboard interpretation of "plan ahead" is actually coming in handy now.)
When I'm not working, I'm mostly trying to convince myself that I'm not too tired to cook, reading fic, or collapsing on the couch to play video games or watch comedies.
Oy, shrift! I'm not working nearly as much as you are, but it's still hard to be enthusiastic about doing much. I kinda wish I was a video-game person, but I don't have a console and most games make me motion-sick anyway.
If anyone has a nice non-shooty game that I could play on my laptop without spending a ton of money, I would welcome recommendations!
Just popping in to say I hope everyone who celebrates is having a lovely Passover. Chag Pesach samech!

Carcassonne, a port of the tile-laying board game is quick, can be played either against he computer or online, and is only $3.99 on Steam today>
What the hell is a Maundy, anyway?
Work wasn't on the surface that stressy but my emotional and physical reserves were hella low, so I trudged my way through with pretty much dogged determination.
Too bad I don't get a three day weekend. But at least I do get a weekend...

If you have an iPad, Gwent is kinda fun. It's sort of like Magic: the Gathering, but in the Witcher universe.
Theo! I have the answer! The rector of my church is sending out daily reflections and a recent one had this:
It's called "Maundy" because of the new commandment (mandatum in Latin) that Jesus gives his disciples, which is to love one another.
