Soon after the quarantine lockdown began, some of the apartment buildings in the area posted signs that they would no longer accept packages. I can't remember if it was all packages, or only those from non-USPS delivery services. There were, as you might imagine, protests about this and the policy was rescinded. The news from USPS is dire - I saw an interview with Russel Honore (remember him? cleaning up after Katrina); he's retired now and can't get his medication from the VA by mail. He said he'd have to drive to Walmart, but worried about veterans who didn't have that option.

TCG is supposed to be home for lunch, but he is stuck on the side of the road with no gas. ltc is weepy and miserable and only wants her daddy. This week can bite me.

Oh, sj. I'm sorry it is such an awful week.

It's a tossup as to whether Postmaster General deJoy is incompetent or just doing the evil bidding of his master.
I suppose it could be both.

TCG finally made it home for a very brief lunch. ltc was hysterical when he left. I can't seem to do anything to console her, so I'm letting her watch at the TV she wants until TCG gets back to go to the test.

There are times when ANYTHING that will keep the peace (within reason) is to be used.

There are times when all of us just need our comfort TV.

There's almost nothing else I can bribe her with at this point. I can't take her for a manicure or shopping. I can't give her a food treat. So, screen time it is.
ltc did very well with the Covid test and strep test.
