It is deeply uncharitable of me, but my first thought was "And now no one is talking about the debate." I put NOTHING beyond what this President would do, but two weeks without public adoration-fests (his rallies) or golf I think might be beyond what he would do for a Hail Mary. Who knows though, there is no bottom.

I have no charitable thoughts about Trump, but I do feel for the innocents that have contact with him and his circle. This really is the tip of the iceberg here. Who knows how many will be infected via this current infection.

DH missed his flight this morning. He called me at 5:30 AM, from home, crying that he couldn't find the key for his rental car, and he thought his flight was at 8, when it was at 6:30, and in a panic. Me, being a never panic person by nature, said 1. forget the key you can find it later 2. you haven't slept 6 hours total in the last 4 days, go to bed 3. clearly you were not meant to fly today.

He did stay up long enough to find the key and call the airline. They moved him to tomorrow with no charge and he is now asleep. I hope he turned off his phone. Honestly, I didn't want him traveling on zero sleep in super stress mode. I believe his immunity would be compromised. He gets constant medical care, and just tested negative again a few days ago, but he has to stop burning the candle at both ends.

Oh wow I went to bed right before that trump news dropped! And cynically I feel like y'all are right and it's very convient he shouldn't be debating anyone for a few weeks...and also he probably thinks if he can say "I had it, it was mild, I got better, so don't be afraid of it"....ugh.

My cynical self wonders if it is a way of capturing the news cycle away from the horrible debate performance, or the vile Melania tapes.

NGL, I did a little dance.

I'll believe he has it when I see ICU footage of him with a respirator inflating and deflating him like a bellows.

If he stops tweeting, then we'll know it's serious.

There's a happy thought! I have completely given up on my karma.

Poor Laura's DH! Sounds like he needs the sleep.

Laura, I wish there were more Lauras in the world to calm people down and put some sense into them. I'm glad DH is getting some sleep.

Speaking of sense, as I'm about an hour behind on today's schedule as is, I decided not to mop the floors and vacuum the carpets today (usual Friday cleanings). I spent about three hours in the kitchen for challah and for cake and muffins and washing dishes twice already, so no. At least half of the cake and muffins will go into the freezer in case of quarantine: my roommate and I discussed what to do for the next (inevitable) time one of us will go into quarantine, and my hot take was to freeze ahead food because food prep for another person takes so more much time and effort. I plan to bake and cook extra something every weekend, until the freezer is full (next week: soup). It'll be also good for when school starts again, in 16 days.

Having a freezer full of readily available food is very helpful. Also, nothing quite like the aroma of baked goods.
