In the time of Corona Virus.
Why is it that 3 weeks on vacation flies like the wind, but 3 weeks staying home feels like 6 months?
I know I shouldn’t complain. We’re blessed my husband can work from home and keep a steady paycheck. But Lord…. what I wouldn’t give for Direct TV to gasp it’s last breath.
My husband is a news hound. Which is mildly annoying any other time… but now?
It feeds the hypochondria he inherited from his mother and his sometimes slightly paranoid nature.
No, I don’t want to hear the new death toll number.
And no, I definitely don’t want to see another Presidential news conference which are anything but.
If only.
In other news, our stores are still out of toilet paper. And people are posting sightings like it’s Bigfoot…. or something hovering over Roswell, New Mexico.
“There’s a dozen packages of Cottonelle on Aisle 6, Hannaford in Westbrook.”
Go!
“A new shipment of Charmin on Aisle 10, Shaws in Rockland?”
Hurry!
It really is ridiculous.
And makes you wonder what we’re going to do if this trend continues.
Uh oh.
Was reading about a knife attack in Europe, and pleasantly thought “At least it isn’t the damned virus … “

It does all get too much. All the negative news and being isolated is not good for anyone!

There must be good news out there somewhere. I wish they would report that once in a while…

More feel-good stories would be better but I guess they don’t sell as well

They did do a nice one on saying thank you to doctors and first responders. We need a bit more of that..

I’m now seeing a bunch of ads on my Facebook timeline for bidets and bidet attachments. There’s one with a woman sitting next to it in the middle of her livingroom, just staring at it and smiling. Truly bizarre.

My husband works with the news on at work, so he hates the news. We only see the news at work when our bosses are like, “OMG come see this” so I am the annoying one at home 😉
Dog meme is excellent!

I like to stay updated. But once a day is enough for me… he’ll watch for hours on end.

That comic is spot on. Sadly, most people do not realize it…
And I am so effing glad that I still get to work on site. I’m as much of a homebody as anyone, but I would not tolerate shutting myself in for weeks at a time. Absolutely not…

It’s not a hardship as hardships go… just a matter of entertaining yourself.

We had to institute a once a day virus update in this house to keep my sanity intact.
We finally ran out of toilet paper and could not find any. Our neighbor was kind enough to give us a pack out of their stash.

Piss poor planning on your part. Pun intended!
We’ve used 2 rolls in 2 1/2 weeks and still have 12 to spare. It’s all about moderation!

Unfortunately one of the medications I take to eliminate excess ammonia in my system due to my liver disease requires frequent throne sitting in order to accomplish the task. Moderation is not an option. 🙂

Well? We have plenty of toilet paper here in the Midwest because we didn’t panic buy like it seems the rest of the nation did.
