Peachy: I LOVE the seed-pearl TP earrings! :bigsmile: Our schools are closed, too. Our governor set up a link to online school so that kids with computer/internet access can continue to learn without being exposed to the virus. Unfortunately, many school districts can’t check out a computer to each student because they don’t have enough to go around. Students from families with computers are set to go, but other students are not. :ohwell:

Amber: It has been a long time since my kids were potty trained and what we did at home was aided by the other kids in daycare. The older kids showed the younger ones what to do.


We had snow on the ground this morning! It is nearly gone now, but it was pretty.

Shopping at our local stores has been interesting. Food products are in good supply and easy to find and buy. TP, on the other hand, is being stockpiled/hoarded by a huge number of people. The shelves are bare. I found one package at Safeway and snapped it up. I think & hope we have enough for a reasonably long while.

I am so far behind!! Been a real mess here. As everywhere else.

1 the tornado that hit March 3 ( on my birthday) his 2 miles from my daughter’s house and 1 mile from her business in Cookeville TN. Her BF worked with first responders to find people. He was with them finding 10 of the 19 dead and many injured. I’m a nervous wreck about that am last week.
2. Tuesday went to docs to get result of mole removal for me and DH Thyroid test. Both were good. Asked for real info on Coronovirus and arranged for us to get pneumonia shots.
3. Park had major water line break so no water here for 32 hours. Dealing with very upset campers Wednesday-Thursday. Couldn’t get shots until water repaired.
Campground was completely full due to spring break starting in this area. DH and I running park while repairs were made.
4. Thursday still no water, ranger calls at 9 am stating 60 kids coming for trip can I help? We get all set up then phone call from ranger’s supervisor saying cancel trip. We had to turn back 2 busloads if kids. Governor stopping all events.
5. Water back on by 2 so we go to town to get water, shots, propane, gas in car. While there, call from ranger, big meeting at 5 pm at our campsite. Got back to find out evacuating campers. Campground closed until 4/8/20 due to COVID 19 all over state. More upset campers.
6. Friday was mass exodus of people and tons of questions about what are they going to do. We have several homeless who go from 1 state park to another with no family and no wher to go. Very sad so helped them find a place.
7. Saturday sunny and puck up litter day. PO’d cause raccoons had no food that night so destroyed my thriving little garden. Clean up some more. So stressed, went to friends to relax with fire pit fire.
8. To cope with all of this, DH been drinking too much and now smoking cigars. Me, my colitis was in remission until Friday. Now back in full force cause of nerves.

Rainy misty day today. Nobody in day side so just chilling!!

Katla- Think that’s why my Daughter was so easy my cousins y us potty trained as a group so 6kids at once . Sons by himself watching us isn’t the same thing.

Told my racist Aunt who’s upset 😡 her 14days in Hawaii was cut short to 3days they were told to go home. I told her about the store nonsense of no meats to anything after lunch time here she called me a liar. Wait until she goes home sees for herself. I still find it weird that since she hates my name she has me as her name in the emails my whole life everyone else by their own name. Carolyn to Carolyn (Amber isn’t up to snuff for her). Oh well she’ll see for herself soon enough very lucky if she doesn’t.

((Rita)) My friend's and I were just talking about camping and wondering if they were closing state parks. I reckon the off grid folks are a step ahead! I realize this time is hard for a lot of people, but we need to BREATHE! Take common precautions AND take care of each other and ourselves. Please take this time to take care of yourself and your family.

Visit with friends was wonderful. Laundry now going. Getting ready to do bills.

Ohio governor speaking at 330. Talk of shutting down bars and restaurants as well as closing school buildings until end of school year. Some Kroger stores going to click list only. This will be a hardship for some folks. I have done all I can. Like Lisa, I cannot change some things and am doing all I can at this time.

Did Kerri Katona Real Fitness DVD. The plan for tomorrow is if they are having the extremepump class I’ll take that. If they aren’t, I’ll do an ASAP DVD

Happy Ides of March, everyone!

Went to WalMart this morning. Honestly, the only reason I went was because I was afraid that when I needed something, the store will be bought out. I did think that Aldi would be really wiped out, but I was pleasantly surprised. I bought some things at WM that I normally get at Aldi but bought them at WM because I wasn’t sure Aldi would have them. Now I’m making a lasagna for Vince mainly to try to make room in my refrig, not that we need it. Got the absolute last package of tp at Aldi. Admitted, it’s only a 4 pack, but that’ll do us for a couple of weeks

SuziQ – that is great to hear! Fortunately, I have about a 30 day supply of the lamictal. It’s just me (unlike Vince) but I don’t like to wait to refill a prescription until I’m almost out. It’s a good thing this time that I don’t

Lanette – thanks for the chuckle. Just what the MD ordered

Carol – love the earrings. Where can I get some?

Last night I got an email that no mass is to be held in any church that can seat more than 100. Wonder how long this’ll go on? I’m sure they don’t want to miss Easter. Wouldn’t bother me if we didn’t have mass next month since I’m supposed to count the collection money and if there’s no mass, there’s no collection money.

Kylia – if the stores go to click list only, I wouldn’t have a problem with it, my onl;y concern is that there is a minimum. Many times I can’t reach the minimum before I need an item

I had a lovely date on a beautiful sunny afternoon. We had lunch; I didn't finish my hamburger or fries but they were excellent. The restaurant is taking extra measures to seat people apart and wipe things down. Ketchup was in an individual container instead of a bottle for the table. I felt comfortable eating out the one last time, but when Delaware has more cases I will stop.
Then we went to a park, walked around, sat and watched the geese in the fountain. Had a lovely conversation. He is a writer like I am. So he is encouraging me to get back to writing my book. An excellent outing; it might be the last one for awhile.

I like my name too lol but think my Aunts name doesn’t fit her. Every Carolyn I meet is so nice but not her. She needs one of those names you’d expect so you see her hate coming. Like “Diabla “ or “Beast” or “Crow” or “Cruella Devil”

I went to the store this morning and there was very little meat, no paper goods, no pasta or beans. Very little rice. The cheese was hard hit too and if that's what people are eating, they won't need the TP with the constipation that will follow.

I bought fresh fruit, not quite ripe and will let it ripen over the week on my counter. Lots of avocados that won't be ready for several days (we eat a lot of those), mushrooms, asparagus, squash, onion. I'll roast all of those and put some in the fridge and have excellent veggies for later. I also bought nuts and will make my own nut butter later this week after I finish my peanut butter.

We should be clearing out the perishables right now. The stores will take that financial hit when they spoil and we can eat those NOW and eat the stuff that has long shelf lives later. It's better for us and helps the stores. And if we don't HAVE to eat all that processed food, all the better. Then we can donate it to food banks that will have trouble feeding people in the short term because everyone else bought all the stuff they need.

Tonight, we're meeting friends out for dinner and supporting our small local restaurant before they are forced to shut the doors (no word yet, but I can see it coming).

(((Rita))): I am so sorry for the situation you are facing. This is stressful for everyone. One of my fellow yoga students flew to AZ when the news of the virus came out. I have no idea when he and his wife will return. :noway:

Amber: Stores here have plenty of food, so far. They do not have plenty of tp. Nobody has gloves or facemasks. :ohwell:


According to Oregon .gov: “Test results for Persons Under Investigation: Positive 36, Negative 420, Pending 225, total PUI (a person with symptoms but not necessarily the virus) 681. There is a list by county for positive cases.”

Our county is NOT on the list with current cases. That is GOOD news for local friends, DH & me.

Katla—feeling lucky today

I went to Target to get some non perishables for both my sons. I am afraid by time son is out of hospital it is hard to know how things will be. My other son is one who oftern does not think ahead so I wanted to make sure he had supllies too!

I too was pleasantly surprized at the selection. Then again I did not try to buy TP, paper towel, or bleach. Have those ready. Not a hoard just what our family needs.

Yesterday on my walk I had fun talking a neighbor through learning how to parrallel park. I guided her through the steps and she parked perfectly. Made my day.

One of my new goals during this crisis is if I see a need to do what I can in that moment to make it better for someone else today. Because I am limiting encounters with people it may be harder to achieve so I will do my best when have an opportunity.

Hoping the craze for over shopping let’s up. We gave lots of our supplies to our older relatives.So poor hubby has to get it all over again tomorrow. Except for the diapers he told his siblings start driving! Where he went.
I check the apps availability before he goes no need to hit the one store with nothing first. Morning here restocked best they can in the night by lunch gone. Dinner that last shopper grabbing some odd or end that’s left with poor workers looking like “WHEN IS BLACK FRIDAY GOING TO END!! “

At least will have stories to tell the youngest generation so we can not be believed lol 😂 but passes the time. Hubby admitted to wrestling a roll of tp out of a big burly woman who had arms full was trying to take his as a guy climbed on him to grab one in the middle of the pile (Hubby a big strong 💪 guy he got the guy to his destination). He said it was as if the gal was a giant squirrel 🐿 she kept grabbing it was going somewhere on her.
