Did I mention here that the soffit on a part of my second story is loose due to high winds + tree hitting it. well today, 1 part of it fell off and we are expecting rain tonight and tomorrow. DO NOT WANT.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am glad my family just did a Zoom call instead of thinking we should see each other in person. My aunt's parents just flew back up from Florida which is good, and they are taking their 14-day quarantine seriously, apparently, which is even better.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm probably thinking way too far ahead, but depending on what the situation looks like by August, if the university does have on-campus classes for the Fall semester, I'm not sure if I'll feel safe teaching.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

After an hour and a half of prompting and no action, I just took Matilda's phone away until she does her YouTube workout.

Sheesh. She's taking idle to some new unprecedented level.

I think I gave myself a stomach ache from eating too many carbs today. Like I only ate carbs. grilled cheese sandwich, cookies, chips and a little pico, mashed potatoes.

Should we call Carbs Anonymous?

I ate too much candy.

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

Dang it, lost another post. Short version - I ate too much matzo ball soup

I'm just slightly worried that when I get into work tomorrow, I'll find out the place is even more locked down than it was, because one of the residents tested positive.

There's already a stash of PPE onsite if we have to quarantine someone in their apartment.

Mostly likely noone is going to test positive, because pretty much if they did, they'd be so sick -- these are not robust people at all, since you don't get into assisted living without some pretty bad preconditions. But I'm still worried.

(I talk about this here because Facebook is a bit too "public" with too many local people that could identify where I work, et cetera.)
