Machka: I hope you are able to work from home without undue stress. It seems like a grand idea compared with going into a potentially virus ridden, life threatening office. :flowerforyou:
(((Lisa))) Sorry that your sister is difficult. I’ve rarely been pleased to be an only child, but at this moment I can see a bright side. :ohwell:
Heather: You are in a more flexible society that we seem to be. We’ve been ordered to shelter in place. We can buy groceries but are otherwise expected to stay home. Businesses are unable to open. How will they meet their rents? I worry for them. :sad:
Barbie: Thanks for "Nine things to give UP if You Want to be Happy." Brilliant!
Lanette: I love the 10th thing to give up if you want to be happy. “Don't waste time fretting about things/people/events I can't control.” Also brilliant!
I’m feeling a bit housebound today. :ohwell: I may take the dog for a walk later. I’ll stay away from people except at good social distances.

Luci ~ Love the pretty baby!
Beth ~ What a kind and generous thing you did in helping the elderly couple. I know you have a lot to tend to in your own home and that was such a blessing for them. Also, how kind of your neighbors bringing you eggs.
Karen ~ That possible job sounds like a wonderful opportunity.
Heather ~ So good of you and your husband to keep the grands entertained.
Heard today that the schools in Ga will be closed until the end of April and possibly for the rest of the year.
DH's BnL in the assisted living notified us that his glasses had broken. Now DH has to figure out a way to get them fixed.

View of lake near son's house taken when we walked today.
Talked to friend who had bad accident today. I can tell getting her thoughts together is tough. i am pulling for her. She had her COVID last year when she was in her accident. Her life changed forever.

Sending a big MWAH to the adorable babies and cute doggies and elderly friends and sweet sweet neighbors and happy customers and super walking partners we've all been interacting with the past couple days.

For most of the women in this thread, we should get tee shirts....

Katla - We are in a lockdown too, but we are allowed out once a day for local exercise. No meetings with any others except for 2 people keeping strict social distance. Food shops are being very strict with distancing etc. DH is worried that he can't get the porridge oats he uses to make muesli - no cereal to be had on the shelves. Every other shop is shut. It's eerily quiet. Hardly any cars on the road.
They are making announcements that people should not visit the coast at the weekend. People can be fined if they congregate. Actually, the weather is supposed to be turning very chilly, so it won't be much of a problem. Tomorrow will be the last nice day for a bit.
Heard today from DH'S daughters that they both are ok sharing the elder's house. They both are working from home. It is a great relief to DH.
All good here. I'm very relieved that I managed to get back to my memoir today. Word told me I hadn't been there since March 13th.

Cheri: I’m happy that you are healing well. You’ve been through stressful times. Cancer is probably the scariest thing out there. Thankfully, we know people who are survivors and that gives us hope.
Heather: We’ve been able to shop for groceries locally but are otherwise at home. It isn’t horrible, since home is a nice place to be. I am rereading old books that are on my shelves. I haven’t read this series recently and it is like spending time with old friends.
Amber: The cases of Corona Beer on the shelves are hilarious. Thanks for sharing. :laugh: I’m sure the brewing company that makes Corona Beer is not laughing. Good for you that your dad can still make a joke.:laugh:
I am hoping we will eventually have access to buying TP. We still have some. There is still none available in our town as far as I know. I have been staying home, and not haunting the stores.

Well back at it tomorrow, Taliah will be here and will have the telalearning zoom classroom on my daughters laptop.. have to keep an eye on Tal to make sure she is sticking with it.Dan has gotten a ride back and forth to work .which gives me a break.5

Katla- Their the only food/drink company not making money lol 😂. Time to rebrand!! Good news is if your needing it for yeast to bake theirs plenty y if theirs a drinker in the home who wants something it’s definitely in stock lol 😆.
Amber Tx1 -
Katla - DH asked the store if they had any TP for older folks as he is 74. They fetched a pack of 4 rolls from the back room where they keep supplies back for the oldies. Maybe a store near you might be doing the same? You should be high priority with your DH. You could go in and ask them to keep some back for you to collect.

Are an orange 🍊 from my tree hope it gets rid of the tickle in my throat y runny nose 👃. Every time I go in the backyard pollen gets me hard!2 -
People in my town don't know how to stay home! Oh, and let's not forget the yard has to be perfect. We got our world rocked today! It was a busy spring like day with the added stress of car side service. I really need roller skates, but would probably fall and break something! The customers are smiling, patient, and thankful for all we are doing to keep them safe. I refrained from telling one customer who was whining about the 2 week repair time, that we were here all winter!
Aubrey is such a joyous little girl! She is doing well. I found out that my other niece is expecting a boy in August. So excited for them. They were anxious after watching all the struggles her sister has had with Aubrey, so the news is even more joyous!
Dinner was leftover white bean chicken chili with crackers. Easy!
I am now sitting on back porch in my rocker enjoying the birds chirping and this view
Hematologist appointment tomorrow afternoon. Nervous, but also know I won't get answers yet. Nervous about going to hospital though, too. Her office is in the cancer building so separate from main hospital.
Need to go clean up kitchen and do some work paperwork.

I have no worries about our office ... we are, after all, essentially the ones telling others what to do ... it's the bus that concerns me.
However, the COVID-19 team is kind of encouraging the people on my floor to go home because they're taking over the first floor and part of our floor (meeting rooms etc.).
And they need "health" people to remain healthy ... just in case we're needed later.

Actually stayed home today on my second day of working from home. Staff member dropped off grant applications I need to review. Went for a walk. Pleasant enough day.
Grandson is seemingly ok. Doctor thinks he has tummy ache from not having regular bm. Evidently he is now aware of when he goes and doesn't like it and is trying to stop it! Potty training time I think. DIL, who was not feeling well saw her doc through telecom. She tested positive for strep throat a couple of weeks ago and the urgent care doc put her on a z-pack. Her doc is of the opinion they didn't give her the right antibiotic. He is putting her on something else and if she is not improving by Monday they will check out other things. He told her the strep throat in their area has been particularly tough this year.
Ohio will probably stay as we are a bit longer. They are not expecting the peak until towards the end of April. I will be delighted if they are wrong and it clears up sooner (and I bet they would be too!). But goodness, when I am seeing what is happening in New York, New Orleans, California (and it is really just starting in those places) I am glad we are learning from that and being cautious.
On happier news-saw a beautiful cardinal in the lilac bush on the fence line. Grass is very green. Don't know if yard guy will come before the end of the month or not. When he shows up I will pay him.
Don't go too stir crazy those under restrictions. Healing thoughts for those who are having health issues.

Is there a reason why your son can't walk to work?
