A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Thrive to spite them

Also it looks like the gov will be allowing most non essential stores to reopen this week to next week. There will be a limit of how many people can be in stores. There is now but I don't know if it's being enforced at all. I don't know how many stores will reopen a lot of them closed before there were orders to.

I keep thinking about my store and it has 4 entrances and I have no idea how we are supposed to track to make sure there is only 20% occupancy. Also to maintain 6 fett apart it will mean only 1 person per register station. 1 person on the elevator at a time I guess. I don't think my store is going to open as soon as the order changes but I was just thinking about the logistics of it all .

Our wings are not tired.

I found out this weekend that our 78 year old RN aunt is back to work. She had been working full time at the hospital prior to this crisis, well more than full time 4 12s a week. Then they furloughed her because of concerns for her age. Last week they called her back.

She reports it takes her 45 minutes when she arrives at the hospital for them to suit her up. When she gets home she goes to her back door and strips, leaving her shoes outside. Carries her clothes inside directly to the laundry, then goes right to the shower. Then she says hi to her 80 something year old husband.

She is happy to be back at work because she was going nuts at home, but understands well what has to be done. The last time I saw her was March 3rd and she was still working then although she hadn't seen any cases.

I know markets are different, but I am putting in an Aldi delivery order and I can get almost any kind of bread I want. Flour is not available, but bread is.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I miss running. It's just too crowded around my neighborhood, even at 5:30 a.m., for me to feel comfortable doing it.

We have a 50-pound(!!!!) bag of flour, because M saw it at Costco and decided it was a good idea. I still haven't figured out how and where (mostly where) we're going to store it. I'm just glad he didn't get the tub of Twizzlers.

I highly recommend teaching your kid to work the tv remote. I slept in until 9:30 after a brief visit from ltc who likes to jump on our bed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh wow, Laura.

Punishingly Intricate

Do you need flour, msbelle? Dylan's is selling it.

I don't need it, but will if I do any stress baking. Right now mask-making is holding that "busy thyself" part of my anxiety. But thank you, good to know a local source.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I started today by missing a blood donation appointment, and husband found out that the stupid fucking job is still interviewing other candidates and won't be done until the end of the week.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

We have a 50-pound(!!!!) bag of flour, because M saw it at Costco and decided it was a good idea.

I had to throw out the better part of a 5-pound bag of flour due to a weevil infestation. So a 50+ lb bug-proof container is highly recommended.
