Well when the sun comes up tomorrow we will be effectively marooned on our little Island. No passenger ferries until April. No flights in or out excepting medical and returning islanders ( who have to self isolate for 14 days) .
Makes me stop and reflect for a bit.
There are worse places to be stuck in. I am here with my flamily who are all well and healthy. We both have secure (ish) jobs and plenty of TP.
Hope you all out there are safe and well. I also hope we come out the other side of this a better world.
Be nice to one another and help out those who need it the most.

Trying to support our local pizza place, ordered food from them for tonight.

That's our plan for Friday night to get pizza from one of the bars in town. I suggested it to B today and he asked if we could get onion rings too. We had their onion rings with pizza a few weeks ago and now he is obsessed with them which is odd because he normally doesn't care for them. We plan to order once a week from them.

There is another bar in town that has good food too but we don't eat there a lot but I think during this time we will order from them too. Just try to keep the small businesses we have in this town operational.

I'm sure you were great, but like you said, you aren't a mental health professional. I'm afraid teaching may not be a good profession for something with mental health issues like he seems to be dealing with. You can't just check out for days as a teacher. And you have to be a good role model for your students....that means showing them how to ask for and accept help when you need it. It also means being present and available to help your students, some of whom may be dealing with very difficult things that will make you sad and worried. But you have to be there for them and teach them coping skills themselves...difficult to do if you have none yourself. He's going to have to learn.

Thank you. I hope he does get the help and coping skills he needs.

Quick survey: What do we think about this? Side note - a few people in my neighborhood haven’t even taken theirs down yet. 😜

I think it is a fun idea, add a little bright spot in life right now. I wish we had thought of it a couple days ago . It finally got warm enough and the ground thawed enough for hubs to get all the decorations out of the ground so he took them down.

They’re kind of like the clocks in my apartment - I never change them and are an hour off half the year, but when daylight savings time comes around, suddenly, they‘re correct and there as I need them.

Sorry, I have had to skip a lot of this thread due to time constraints. This whole thing is just surreal. I have never seen anything like it in all my 72 years on the planet. I am hopeful that we will be able to bounce back from this with only minor scars and good health. I don't even know how to deal with some of the concern. I, being my age and COPD (however mild) certainly have concern. My daughter called me yesterday, not in panic, with concern about my well being. Unfortunately, until this weekend is over I have a lot of stuff that I have to do involving my move. Saturday is moving day, but I have been doing stuff working up to that for the past two weeks. I am, of course, upset when I HAVE to go to stores repeatedly because all the self centered have decided that they have to have every available loaf of bread, container of milk, roll of toilet paper, paper towels, canned food that they won't use up in a year and no place to go to have a decent meal.

It angers me that our society is so selfish and unconcerned about the needs of people other then themselves. After the move is done I will still be very busy cleaning my old apartment in the vane attempt to get my $200. deposit back and close out this part of my life and start a new one. Anyway, my point was that even though I was warmed by my daughter showing so much concern for me, recognizing my penchant for stubbornness, and lingering feelings of being superman, volunteering to get groceries and otherwise keep me sequestered. My problem is that I don't know how to react to being treated like a piece of delicate porcelain. I don't know how to react to having someone I care about so much, being concerned about losing me to this invisible evil. I do have to thank her though for waking me up to the possibilities, unfortunately I have things that I have to do right now and I am trying to keep away from most people. Even in my daily activities, I live alone and spend most of my communication with others limited to boards like this one and I go to my new apartment building to hang drapes and plan for staging while I have help to move things around. I don't think I have seen more then 6 people over the last two weeks in the new place that has 96 apartments and that was just in passing in the hallway. Strange times we live in and it certainly does test our ability to not just give up.

She suggested that I contact my primary care provider and ask, simply, with my current list of physical weaknesses what trigger points should I be looking for to tell me to head out to get care. I sent her a copy of what I had sent to the Doctor, to help ease her mind about my taking this seriously. I do make light of it, but that is just a defense mechanism that helps me deal with it. I am doing what I can to avoid to much exposure, but I forgot that I have to let the people that love me, know that I am taking whatever precautions that I can.

I am actually planning on calling my dad tonight. I have trouble talking to him right now, because with his copd, he really shouldn't be out and about. Want to guess who goes on his regular grocery run? And as much as I like to visit Lake Havasu City, they have no restrictions of any sort. What they do have is Spring Break as normal. Large crowds of college kids, hitting Walgreens for a beer run. Want to guess what other place my dad stops at regularly? And yes, I have told him they will deliver with waived delivery fees.

So tonight, I will beg him to talk to his primary care physician to learn when to go, and if need be, he can have an order to skip ER, and go straight to being admitted.

If something happens, I have no idea how I could safely and quickly make it to AZ.

{{HUGS}} from a nice safe distance. You can check his local supermarket websites for senior shopping hours, many have them now before regular opening to keep the crowds down. You're right also get anything that can be delivered. I'm not sure what to tell you if you have to travel out there. I'm not sure if they'd let you see him if you've recently flown. Prayers and pixie dust xoxo

All of our projects have been delayed so far. Every time i ask if someone has a decision or a due out all i get is that they've been in meetings about covid and that's where they've been focused so they don't have anything for me. Which is fine, i guess. But i don't know how to proceed if they don't have anything for me

Our fiscal year ends at the end of this month. Nothing can stop at this point. We're just all working from home, except for the distribution center people who can't. I think the customer service reps can't either because their softphones aren't reliable enough.

Fun times. Fun, fun times.
