'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Firefly puppies! Aw.
JZ, I'm so glad you have David to support you through this.
Trying to figure out what to do about unemployment. When you file an initial claim in PA, they tell you when to actually file for specific weeks, and my last day to file is today. But I haven't received the PIN number I need in the mail yet, and the number to call is constantly busy. I mean, I'm not surprised, given how many claims are being filed, but I don't know if this means I'm screwed or what. Bah.
They're virus testing all the nursing homes etc today in Cambridge, residents and staff alike. Here's hoping we all pass the test....
Dammit, apparently switching between apps on my phone now means losing my post. Supportive words to all of you!
Test~ma!
JZ, when Mom's mother passed away, she didn't find a secret safe, but she was finding little caches of money the whole time she was going through the house. And it took weeks to go through - Nana had a metric boatload of STUFF in the house. So much so that Mom's been on a keep-tidy kick ever since; she's determined me and my sister won't have to go through that.
Amy, what a P.I.T.A.

Fingers crossed, Theo
The most recent email from my FiL's retirement community says they have no cases of Covid-19, but it didn't say that they were testing the residents, either. So I'm assuming that they don't have any residents showing active symptoms (which is a good thing), but can't verify that with test results.
We're all dressed up for the funeral. Matilda is wearing her black Doc Martens because her Papou gave them to her.
I don't have any black pants and you know what? During a pandemic you can't just go out and buy them.
I'm sure no one will object to the fashion faux pas if you wear blue jeans.
Thinking many good thoughts to your family today.
The medical team tested nearly all the residents (~90ish plus the carers who were present in their rooms) before they ran out of test kits, so they will be back on Monday to test the staff.
Even if I tested negative today, there's no guarantee I wouldn't come down with it next week. But at least we'll have a baseline now that testing is finally available.
I was talking with one of the residents, she's got 20% of regular lung function and pretty much expects that she's going to die if she gets it, and is doing her utmost, including staying in her room, washing down anything that comes into it, et cetera.
I stopped by the liquor store special for her, and picked up a four-pack of Sutter Home wine. Not exactly drinking her way through the crisis, but if if the equivalent of two glasses of wine per little bottle gets her to sleep OK, I'm all for it.
