I wouldn’t go to a movie theater. I’m doing my best to avoid any public spaces unless actually necessary (except for parks that aren’t crowded).
My state just banned gatherings of 250 or more, but I feel like official responses here have been lagging considerably behind what would really be needed to slow the spread. I get that there are a lot of factors that make it a tough choice to force closures and ban large gatherings, but I’m voluntarily limiting my exposure as much as possible.
I think having a friend or even a couple friends over is probably still fine, unless you know that they have a job where they’re exposed to a lot of people or they’ve traveled recently or whatever.
I want to get milk but I’m terrified of going to the grocery store. I’ve heard stories of angry people and seen pictures of empty shelves and I’m not mentally ready to deal with that shit.
Curb pickup or online ordering? They’re a few days out for my area, but that could be worth it anyway. Or see if a friend is going and could grab you stuff.
I ended up going and it wasn’t as bad as I thought. I think going in the morning meant restock was recent, so only a handful of shelves were bare rather than full aisles. Places have also been putting limits on the things people are panic buying so they don’t run out immediately.
I was going to do some garden stuff but it is crazy windy, which is very uncomfortable for me. At least it isn’t 40 degrees like it was yesterday, but this sucks. I need to do some spray painting outside too, which I 100% can’t.
I have so many things I needed to get done at home before housemate moves in tomorrow but I have worked every day for a few weeks except I took today off out of desperation except I have answered emails and scheduled not-today meetings all day and tried to go to bed early because I was sleepy and I’m not sleeping
Apparently the garter stitch border I added to my knitting wasn’t enough to kept the central stockinette from curling. Am considering frogging the whole thing and starting over.
I did the responsible thing and declared my house under quarantine. The kids are on full lockdown, and I will break quarantine in careful and deliberate ways to keep us going, but will not take risks. I don’t want to do this but it seems right.
Then I made the mistake of looking up two weeks at an all inclusive resort in Cuba. Why can’t we quarantine there? It would be so cheap!
Apparently I have way less ginger in the freezer than I thought. Plenty of dry so I’m not going to go running out to the grocery store, but it’s very annoying since there’s (supposed to be) fresh ginger in most of my favorite recipes and my whiteboard lied to me. Or, you know, I forgot to update it when I made ginger chicken, which might possibly be more likely.
