Hope everyone is safe and well...

Hope all of you and your loved ones are well -- and being sensible. I'm well and grateful I am not having to go to work or school--that I have choices. Not panicked and so far not that worse than other flu seasons (outside of the tp hoarders and public schools here refusing to close).

 

Back in Kentucky there were many flu seasons I thought bad enough schools should have closed. Despite the strain on parents and caregivers, I'm relieved the kids I know are home.

 

I got out a bit to get stuff like eggs and to just be out and about so wouldn't feel housebound. Albertsons had a cart shortage and folk started sharing. No tp like everywhere else but maybe those folk are all staying home to price gouge it on the internet. The ones that were out seemed normal although of course harried and tired; one old lady was shaky and strangers were running about getting things for her. When she was helped to checkout, the Albertsons employees had her sit down and helped her out to car.

 

I'm now staying home for a while with new books that dropped ( "Honor Lost" by Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre, "Smoke Bitten" by Mercy Thompson, sadly no new one from recent widower Jim C. Hines ...), some rain that means I have a few weeds to pull, still more unpacking, housework, and plenty of needlework I should be finishing. *gasp* I might even get through my email and snail mail.
