Went out to Lowes at 6 am-got 100' ethernet cable so I won't have state computer in my bedroom. While there picked up command hooks so I can keep it off the floor and don't trip on it and cats don't think it's a toy. Probably have one that length available at work but don't know what staff will need (and there are a lot of them!) so I can have my stuff ready. While I was there I picked up back ups on laundry detergent, etc.
Stopped by Kroger's at 7-they didn't have much chicken out but picked up some turkey, a small roast, some stew meat. Few more cans of soup. My blueberries and salad (I will miss those if I can't get to store regularly). Flavored waters I like. That gives me a stash but not a hoard. One of my managers will go to that store to pick up stuff for her dad and I figure once a week or so she won't mind picking up fresh veggies for me. Planning on being in except for short times in office. We will have a rotating schedule and very few of us in there at once and no need to be close to each other.
Got a few other things checked on for work. Need to do some paperwork to get a program rolled out money to get some extra cash out to people. We handle all major programs in our county for the state/feds-medical, food, child support, protective services. Keeps us hopping and you can close processing work. We will figure this out, just might be a bit awkward.
Time to vacuum up the carpet cleaner I put on. Like most of you, my house will be super clean. Had sick thought that if I get ill I would like the house to look decent if help needs to come in for me! Those of you who live alone can probably relate to that!
Have a good evening all,

Ginny! Thank you for being the sort of manager who honestly cares about their people.
Karen in VA, where did you find that lovely site? The fish and music are just what I need right now.
Machka, sorry for the disagree, but none to be had online. I’m sadly diisappointed in the selfishness I see out there right now.
Life being Life: i tried early this morning to order essentials for either curbside pickup or delivery from Safeway, Fred Meyer, and also delivery from Amazon or Costco. When I started for tp Costco had 10 selections, 7 of which were out of stock. I hit add to cart for the first and it said “item not available”. Same for the other two. No to from Costco. Amazon: literally many dozens of sites selling tp at 1c with outrageous shipping fees. I suspect they’re trying to evade the profiteering police. Many also posted pictures of paper towels calling it household tissue. I’m really upset by this. I couldn’t get milk, eggs or anything else because all the curbside and delivery slots are filled for days. And I still haven’t gotten a test result!
I’m really feeling pretty down at the moment. It’s hard to maintain proper health with this going on. I don’t stockpile much, but I have 3 cans of Progresso soup, and some ancient Brussels sprouts in the freezer. And bouillon cubes.

Lots of love to you all, my friends. I am near bedtime and about to start reading a real book. It's set in Oslo, just after the second world war. Change of scene.
Saga sent an email asking for patience with the refund/rebooking situation. Hope to hear this week.Apparently their two ships are now moored at Tilbury and they have offered them as hospital ships. Strange to think of my old cabin as a hospital bed! I don't think it will happen as the government have taken over the private hospitals and gained 8,000 beds.
I've been reading the report from Imperial College, where my ex was a lecturer, which is what our government response is based on. Don't know how to link it to here. My son put it on Facebook.

Sharon, are you affiliated with a church. Someone there may be able to assist. Also meals on wheels maybe able to help. If I lived near you I would make up a care bag. Big hug to you, you've been through so much lately.4

Kim in NorCal- I’m in SoCal. Our mayor put us on shelter in place last weekend, so we are already used to it. It’s not so much different from my normal life. I’m just annoyed at all the greedy people.
A second person just posted on Nextdoor, her need for TP. No one seems to be coming forward to help. I’ll be asking soon.
Tina in CA3 -
Debra CA - stuck in hospital not allowed to go home for awhile now she said.Her baby 2yr old staying with family while she works double shifts still. Keep her in your thoughts

Sharon - have you tried calling the Red Cross or United Way? Love, Inc.? Area agency on Aging? Even the King County Sheriff - they might know of someone who would be glad to shop for you. Of all the people who need help right now, you are at the top of the list.
The 911 center should have a business line you could call right now and you wouldn't tie up a 911 line. You not a 911 emergency yet but close to it.HUGS
Keep us posted!!
Lanette5 -
@trucker743 - try 211.org -it is United Way and they have on-line referral program I believe in every state. They may be able to provide guidance on local group that can help.6

I’m getting behind already. On page 71. I had hoped today would be a day to relax…sigh…my husband seems to have a blood clot! I have been eating and even had a couple beers to try to keep from stressing. His doctor wants him to try to wait until Monday to get into the office instead of going the hospital route. This is concerning to me as it seems the sooner on the heparin, the sooner he passes the clot. Also, he has had multiple pulmonary emboli and I don’t want him to end up in ICU for the 6th time with this! He is scared, and frankly, I’m not comfortable with the whole thing either. He is 68 fyi.
Lanette I love how you saw the eagles and realized their world is still the same. 😊
Pip Thank you for smiling Yogi!! I needed that today!
SuzyQ I’m so sorry you are going through this alone. I can’t imagine having no one during quarantine. I’m so grateful we have technology. It’s wonderful getting messages and calls from the kids and grandkids.
Margaret Your song was performed beautifully! Thank you so much!! Love those bathroom acoustics! Nice pictures, too.
Annie Hang in there! I’m trying hard not to stress eat, also. It’s hard as we try to set new schedules. So sorry your parents are sneaking out!
Rita Sorry it is too quiet!
Stay safe and healthy, my lovely Pals!!Luci in WNC

Also remember as we're encouraged to get outside, the sun is not in quarantine. Use your sunscreen.
Tina in CA
Absolutely right!
In fact, since the virus affects the lungs and may lead to pneumonia, one of the best things we can do is to be active. Even just going outside and walking around our yards, or our neighbourhoods (if they are relatively free of other people) ... or for my husband and me ... down to our nice quiet beach.

Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx
Mostly young backpackers from what I heard. That's an extremely popular tourist beach near Sydney.
But Tasmania doesn't have that problem. As an island, we've got lots of great beaches. However, as a southern island where the next land mass is Antarctica, we've also got cool weather.
Our beaches look like this ... that was the only other person out there then.
Our beach, the one closest to us, is much smaller but even so there are rarely very many people.

Well I solved Dads Church problem. My Aunt does the office y music,Dad preaching fill in, my Uncles a Deacon. They liked my idea called Pastor he liked it called their congregation. Sit in cars window down 10min sermon y a prayer 🙏 no getting out of the car then go home. Might work for some of you still call your pastors suggest it.
Even if some can’t hear they may enjoy getting out. No engines on ,no exiting the vehicles at all (only pastor out of vehicle),y no money collected or going in the church even for bathrooms 🚽 so no potty that’s why it’s short. After it’s done approx 15minutes everyone drives home.

It’s the Jesus preached with no heater or AC or microphone 🎤 or speakers 🔊 so why can’t we!
Why not just go online?
That's what the churches here have done. We've got a no more than 100 people inside rule.

LisaThank you so much for The Washington Post link. People aren't distinguishing between "needs" vs "wants". It especially worries me when I read that someone has made multiple trips to multiple stores in search of things they don't actually need. The virus lives on hard surfaces such as plastic, glass, & metal for up to 72 hours. We must all consider ourselves to be asymptomatic carriers at all times. We may not be sick ourselves, but we may be responsible for making others critically ill.

Sharon Please call your daughter and tell her you are running low on food. As far as the fish & music just go to YouTube.com and put "calming aquarium" or other similar words in the search box. There are tons of peaceful fishy videos for you there.
