    I was meant to be working from home today while looking after a two year old and four year old. We had a power cut from 9am-4pm so we spent the rather sunny day playing in the garden instead. I've got a lot of hours to somehow make up but I regret NOTHING!

    I went to Walmart at 6 am. I was able to get everything on my list except chicken breast. Had to settle for thighs. The store was VERY picked over.

    Sane? I am not sure what that word means.

    Last Wednesday we had 1 case in my health system's service area. This week we have 20. Most of them are people who traveled somewhere else and people who live with them.
    Actually, I trust our disaster plan (One of our 21 hospitals is empty in case we need it as an isolation facility and we are doing everything we can to limit admissions in all of them. We have done a handful of life-saving surgeries, but nothing even remotely elective.) and I think we implemented closing things down locally in time, but we have some fools who traveled for spring break last week and I am afraid that they may have brought back more of it.
    They are trying to get as many non-clinical staff as possible working from home, but they can't move us all because of HIPAA, so we will see how that goes for me. I am definitely not in the first wave of work from home, even though my remote logins and all that works.

    In other news, the rear brakes on our Honda died yesterday and today my car had a flat. That on a normal day would be insane.

    First day working from home with hubby home. Twenty-six minutes into it, and I'm already irritated at him. I had a little routine going, and he's throwing it off!

    Yikes. We have a stay home work safe madate here, not quite on lockdown yet. Had a brush yesterday, had to help with a patient that we thought was for pneumonia, but later was being tested for Covid-19. Haven't been sent home to quarantine because we don't know if the patient is positive yet.

    Yikes, stay safe! @crosbylee

    Hubby still has to work as a first responder. I fully expect we'll be exposed at some point. It's not if, it's when, in our house.

    Same here. I am just grateful at this point that I am not losing hours at work.

    I'm getting paid to work from home. So thankful we aren't being impacted financially. So many people can't say the same.

    Even on days I’ve reported to the office - my hair has been in a ponytail, no makeup and a race tee. Been wearing jeans. Not sure if I want to push it and wear shorts.

    Today from home I did put on pants ans shoes, tee and sports bra. Still no makeup🤣

    We have a zoom meeting at noon - not putting on makeup for this either

    I only work 16 hours a week and can do most of my role from home just fine, but fitting that in without childcare is extremely challenging. They're 2 and 4 and can't really entertain themselves unsupervised for any time at all. I hate that I'm having to work every day and work evenings to make up my part time job, losing what little free time I had. Obviously I'm glad I still have a job but I could scream at anyone who complains of being bored. I DREAM of having time to be bored!

    And my dad started chemo this week. What impeccable timing!

    I know my kids and hubby and I are pretty low risk, but I worry something will happen to my dad and I won't be able to go and comfort my mum.

    Got pretty serious right there. Please go back to drowning peanut butter in the rubbish bin and cling film wraps! As you were.

    Yikes! That's scary. Prayers for your dad.
