A few months ago if someone had told me that one day we would be posting guards over toilet paper I would have laughed and thought they were crazy.And a funny, at the big box store I went to, they had a whole lane of the big bag of toilet paper, with large signs saying limit one, and staff all around each large skid.
My problem is that I will get interested in a show and then fall back asleep before it is over.Sadly I was up around 1ish too. I found something not very interesting so I could just close my eyes and listen.
I got scammed today, or at least they tried.
Glad you didn't spend too much and the card will go to good use.But no loss, my daughter will now have a $25 Google Play card! Friend later texted me his email was hacked.
Hope you were able ro get in a nap.Just why? I can never seem to sleep late on a weekend. Here is hoping I can go back to sleep or I can see a nap later in the day, or maybe an early bedtime tonight.
Prayers for negative results.Hubby was working from home this week and he'll have to go in on Monday. Two of his employees went out on FLMA. We also found out they are testing people in his building, which is very scary. The results take a few days to come back. Other buildings all around his have workers that tested positive.
I would love to take a fall trip and meet some of the people from the board, but I will skip HHN.I'm in the chicken club too. If we wind up going in the Fall one of my kids will definitely try to get me to go to HHN!
I pray that it isn't the virus. Thankfully you are already doing everything you are supposed to be doing..a week ago I said all I had was a seasonal cold. I was convinced of it. Cough, headache and aches, no temp. But now, since the smell and taste thing appeared on the list of symptoms, I do think maybe I have a mild version if there is such a thing. Of course I won’t get tested as I’m thankfully, not bad enough. So, yes I agree it does sound like it.
We usually eat with friends. Guess that's not happening thIs year.Just officially canceled my family Easter dinner sad.
It was like that at Home Depot today. I guess since so many are home they have decided to work on thier home improvement projects.Went to the local feed & seed for my vegetable garden seeds and plants. I guess I am not the only one with cabin fever. It looked like a regular Saturday considering the amount of people out and about.
That's scary. Is he able to work from home?The 4th case of Covid19 was diagnosed at DH's work. I am sure it will be more everyday.
Kstar Nice to meet you!! You are the closest to me, I am in central CT and it looks like we are in for the same scenarios with our Governors since the tri states are working together. I am sorry about your son's birthday it is so hard on the kids, I feel bad for them. My Charlie is a senior and was looking forward to senior events but it doesn't look like that is happening. I hope your sister in law stays safe and another hero that we have to be thankful for. Hope is a beautiful name, for a beautiful child. Good luck with home schooling, I am lucky the school system is doing on line with the high school and my DD is doing on line college from home.

Dinner was early, as all were hungry. So with a cool and rainy day, comfort food. Pan grilled the chicken, made mac and cheese, cooked the baby carrots just right, baked some steak fries, and biscuits too. Too full, and only some chicken and some biscuits left. Eh, can reheat tomorrow.

And yep, lots of screen watching and electronic games played today.
Yeah, and now that it is evening,

Haha, and so true!
Good evening. We had a pretty good day today. I slept in until about 10:30. I blame the cat for that. Early this morning he started meowing and then running through the house. It woke me up of course. He would settle down, and I woud get back to sleep, then he would start the process all over again. I think he did this at least 3 times.
Lunch was take out from our favorite Mexican restaurant. It was so sad seeeing the parking lot completely empty. This place is always busy. After lunch we decided that we needed to get out of the house. We went for a walk and then a drive. We drove down a couple of roads that I have always wondered where they go. Both turned out to be dead ends, but I did find whre our local Frito Lay distribution center is. We also took a drive around the western part of the county. Losts of farm land out there. Supper was take out from our favorite Italian restaurant. Dh said that they were very busy tonight. I have leftovers from both meals that I will take for lunch next week.

Poor B is trying to do an assignment for her astronomy class, but we have too many clouds and too much light pollution. My street is usually very dark, so we get a pretty good view of the stars on a clear night, but for some reason almost all of my neighbors have their porch lights on tonight.
Hi everyone....It is a cold rainy day here today. I feel for everyone who hasn't been sleeping good. I am up and down all night and just can't stay sleep. I feel so worn down but trying to keep healthy in case I get this virus.
Thanks for all the nice responses for Liv and work. She is going to work one short cashier shift tomorrow and one maybe during the week. She gave up 4 cashier shifts to friends over the next two weeks. They did give her some cleaning shifts so she will keep them instead. She is more comfortable with them. I hope she will talk to them one day. I was very upset for Charlie last night. He is trying so hard to follow the CDC guidelines at work, for everyone's sake. Well there was one of the lead managers saw him yesterday waiting to get something and motioned Charlie to go ahead. Charlie said no he was waiting so he could keep a safe distance. Well the lead guy got rude with him and said "what are you afraid to catch a stupid virus" and then told him why don't you stay home for a couple of weeks. He explained about my surgery and that we had to be more careful, he didn't care. He was going to go talk to management today. I told him if he doesn't I will. These managers are suppose to take this serious and follow state ordered guidelines.
I noticed all our grocery stores now have plexiglass in front of the cashiers except for Target. I am so mad, I am going tomorrow to talk with them about it. I think that is such a grea idea! I took pictures at one of the stores.
There was a story on CNN about the grocery clerks and staff as being heros during this. I started clapping to Liv and telling her that she was a hero for going out into the public to make sure people have food. I will do the same for Charlie tonight.
I got lucky and got a little bit of meat yesterday and some cat food. I keep checking for supplies every couple of days. I am alternating cooking and getting take out from our local places to help them. I am starting to do more but still being careful with certain things.
I am waiting to find out if NY NJ and my state CT going under a travel quarentine. I just watched Govenor Cuomo and he doesn't think it can be done legally. I am sorry but at this point restricting three states for travel is not going to accomplish anything. It would be better to have a national stay at home to help with the curve. We have over 1,000 cases in our state and over 10 in my area.
Schumi I hope you continue to feel better, coughing is one of the worsts when it lasts awhile. I hope Tom and Kyle stay healthy. Your soup sounds good, too bad you couldn't taste it. I am excited that I will be at Universal the same time as others, I never have. Liv and I will enjoy the daytime with the scare stuff but once night comes it is all Brian and Charlie. I hope your niece and the rest of your family is negative. Oh I love anything 80's music, movies, you name it. I have the 80's trivial pursuit and 80's scene it. The problem is nobody here can play with me, they are a little too young. LOL!! Brian is the closest but he is still almost 7 years younger so he couldn't appreciate being a teen then. I hope you enjoyed it!!
Lynne Your dinner sounds good!! It is rainy here too. Liv was home today but Charlie worked an 8 hour shift. I will see if they want to play a game or watch TV. Good score on the grocery shopping but boo for the burgers!! Sorry you couldn't go back to sleep, I have bad sleep habits lately, even worse since my surgery. YAY!!Another SANS family overlapping trip. Brian is the one who eats the store bought baked goods, when nobody else does. Hope everyone is enjoying being together. It has been a lot of tea time here.
MCrose It sounds like a nice outside visit even if it was cool. I hope everything works out for DH and his job with the virus. Brian works for the State and so far almost every office has a positive case. There are over 45,000 state employees I am sure they will make up a bunch. He has been lucky to be home with me but may have to go back on Monday. I am really scared to get this with recovering. I have sneezed or coughed a couple of times and it still hurts. I am sorry to hear about your parents car, they don't need that now. We are outdoors people and love to spend the entire day at the amusement parks, can't wait for them to open. That's cool you use to play it's something fun we do together. Glad that your refund worked out with undercover tourist!
Cam I am glad that you got out and got what you want for gardening. It is so hard to keep the 6 feet distance when others don't. Glad that you made out well at Sams, our grocery stores are doing better except for TP. I have a black thumb but have friends who garden and swear by it, very relaxing. I feel bad for Charlie he started germinating and growing different plants this winter. His teacher let him keep them in his class at school to get sun. He was so excited they were doing so good. He took the day of my surgery off then the next day school closed so he never got to get his plants and I am sure nobody is taking care of them. He worked so hard and was so excited. I hope your DH stays safe at work and boy I would love to have your weather now. Italian food is the best!
Charade the week before my surgery I bought a bunch of yoga type pants it would be easier for me. However, I didn't realize where my incisions would be so some of them are not falling right and I have to roll the waist. Once my incisions heal they will be good and it looks like I will have plenty of time to hang in them. It sounds like you had a nice day out and score two meals out! Brian is still working on the house but I did manage to have him drive me to the store. He is still going to have the house done so when things work out we will be ready. That's cool B is taking an Astronomy class so is Liv. Yea we will be doing Easter alone this year, but it will be okay. Enjoy your left overs!!
Sue I am so glad that you realized what was going on before you did anything. Glad your DD can use it. I have a bunch of refills on Tylenol from my surgery really cheap, so I am going to fill them and save them. I had heard the same thing. I usually have a lot of Tylenol around because Liv can't use Advil with her bleeding disorder. I love any type of comfy pants. Yea putting my jeans on will not work!! I feel bad for all of us with sleeping problems here, I have found that working on my phone sometimes makes me tired. Hope your weather improves!
mac Good to see you post! I hope you are feeling better!!! We miss you here!!
Pealala Welcome to the family!! Nice to meet you!!
Larissa Nice to meet you!! We enjoy HRH we have stayed there several times, you will enjoy it!
Kstar Nice to meet you!! You are the closest to me, I am in central CT and it looks like we are in for the same scenerios with our Govenors since the tri states are working together. I am sorry about your son's birthday it is so hard on the kids, I feel bad for them. My Charlie is a senior and was looking forward to senior events but it doesn't look like that is happening.

Damo Hi! Nice to see you posting over here, I see your posts over on the WDW too. You have always given great advice!
DLPN I am the biggest chicken when it comes to scary stuff LOL!! . When the 4 of us have gone to the amusment parks for halloween, if they sell the light up necklaces to let the actors know not to scare us I am the first in line and they could charge me what they want and I would pay it. I have only found on park Cedar Point that sells the "no boo" necklaces. Liv and I enjoy walking around but not getting scared. Nice that you will be there the same time.
A big shout out to the rest of the SANS who can't be with us. I hope everyone stays happy and healthy!! Have a great night!!
Hey neighbor!
I'm a teacher and we have had to change the entire way we do our jobs. Luckily, I am in a very supportive district and the kids have been on the ball for the most part.
We can't take the kids to the playground for obvious reasons...but they have even started shutting down walking trails and boardwalks because so many people are going. So we usually stick to taking afternoon strolls around our local pond. Yesterday we took the kids to the beach to just run around. That's the beauty of living on an island.....beaches within 10 minutes. They really enjoyed that except my 2 year old kept trying to run into the ocean.
But what is maddening is seeing these groups of kids together hanging out. My next door neighbor has been hosting play dates with her sons' friends for the last three days. She puts out a lawn chair and is drinking the afternoon away while these kids are all up in each others business. How will this end if no one heeds the warnings? Maybe they need to have one of the refrigerator trucks they have in New York City for the bodies drive down our street to really send the message across.
Let's just keep looking at the bright side of things....
Yeah, Robo, crazy times for sure in my City. Hope you can go back North, when you are ready.
I seen a report about how busy the beaches are in Florida. Wow...just wow. is all I can say. I sure hope that in 2 weeks we don't see huge spikes in the number of cases from people being in such close contact with eachother. I guess only time will tell.
One friend of my nephew's has symptoms (Fever, cough, lethargic, chills) and called the designated hospital line three times and was denied a test. I don't know if they're waiting until people get "really bad" before testing? It doesn't make sense.
Stores have designated senior hours, but some people are complaining about it online, asking why they get special treatment and they shouldn't have to cater to them. It's disgusting how people are being insensitive to the vulnerable.
mac....hope the flu has disappeared along with the headaches......not nice thing to happen!!! Many hugs......
Oh, almost forgot, there was no Spam on the shelves.
There are so many people outdoors but avoiding each other. Lots of stories of the stupids coming home from out of country travel and not self-isolating for 14 days as they have been told to. You really have to wonder about some people.
It’s Mother’s Day in the U.K. so seems as though some are listening and some aren’t.
Today was an emotional day for me. I haven't seen my mom and dad, sister, or some of my children (adults) in two weeks. I took groceries to my mom and dad and left them on her porch and talked to her through the window. It was so sad I cried on the way home. I got her to set up skype tonight and we had a good chat, which was nice. I'm worried about my husband who has to work in all this.
We are still seeing folks swarm into grocery stores yesterday.....it`s like watching a football match crowd heaving into the stadiums!!! Shocking. And the grocery stores extra hour in the morning for NHS and emergency staff only was overtaken by selfish idiots who thought they should be entitled to rush past everyone else......
I just finished writing a midterm online. The last one. This week starts another heavy class in pharmacology .. The medical terminology was hard enough...now to add this...oh my. Only 6 more weeks left until I'm done. I will be looking forward to some free time once this part is complete.
Things have seemed to hit a quiet lull here. Most businesses have closed. Even our optomistrist and dental offices have closed except for emergencies.
I am feeling better each day. I am still being careful with lifting anything. I hope to be back to full health in a few weeks. Brian is still busy working on the house. We are just going to have everything ready to go for when things turn around.
he teens are s till working Liv is having a hard time with this though.
Our health workers are begging everyone to please self isolate and not mix. It`s heartbreaking to see their pleas and folks to ignore them. They have posted lots of images holding up paper signs saying similar things, I`m sure it`s the same in the US.
Something fun for today. Six years ago we were expecting snow of a coating to an inch. Here’s what actually happene
So, another not so good nights sleep...….this cough is relentless, but I don't think it`s the dreaded 19.
Hello everyone!
There was a campaign for everyone in the United Kingdom, at 8pm tonight to stand outside, lean out of windows, go on balconies and clap, cheer, shout and whoop in support of our wonderful NHS staff and carers who are all working so hard for us during this crisis.
and so has it been. Still raining out.
There was a story on CNN about the grocery clerks and staff as being heros during this. I started clapping to Liv and telling her that she was a hero for going out into the public to make sure people have food. I will do the same for Charlie tonight.
I'm a teacher and we have had to change the entire way we do our jobs. Luckily, I am in a very supportive district and the kids have been on the ball for the most part.
So, today we are having a pajama day.....can`t even remember if we have ever done that.......although my friend facetimed me this morning and said I was cheating as I had clean pajamas on....... what`s that all about, of course they`re clean.......apparently that`s cheating because I showered and got into pajamas.....lol......anything else is not good!!!
I’m guessing people are buying it because it has a long shelf life. We haven’t gotten that desperate yet.LOL......everyone can have the Spam.....I have never liked that congealed mystery meat.....
THANK YOU Robo! You're a good egg!Have been making masks to help out a little.

Need to get scootin have a great rest of the day Sans family.
Yes, we are under stay in place orders in both the county I live in and the one where I work.Vicki does your county have the restrictions of stay in place?
I’m a good hour north of you and my county has many places open still.
No restrictions here.
And with that we have two more documented cases of covid.
We only have 3 on the books but county that butts up to where I am (outside of city limits) has deaths besides infected listed.
