Covid Lockdown Activities

[bcj]

Unpacking personal ick a bit.
I've been on home lockdown a month before any of this virus stuff came out.
My sister is still on chemo but last week her white counts were too low to go in for the next round.
Going to test again today to see if she can go again next Monday. I'm her taxi service and stuff needs to be clean.

Reading lots lately. Have a large library and don't need to go out for that.
The TV is starting to be nothing but re-runs and doesn't look to be anything else for the foreseeable future.
Think it's time to dump the $250mo Comcast bill.

Sorry I've been a bit grumpy, fake covid advise is getting up my nose like the real thing.

Will have to venture out for fudz next week after (if) sis can get her treatments.

Same here although the cough is definitely not a staple. Either way, they told us if you have absolutely any symptoms, just stay home

Hang in there you old coot.

Why had you been on lock down before this stuff started?

I wish your sister well. Chemo was the roughest medical thing I ever went through.

Yep, I hear that about TV - 3,000 plus channels and nothing worth while watching -

However, on the brighter side, this is a good time to take loooong naps -

Keeping sterile fingers and nose stuff for lowered immune system things.
Taking my temp. twice a day too.
It's still normal cold and flu season. At least up here.

She's been on radiation and chemo since Dec. Srs cat is srs.

Making a database of the approximately 1000 vinyl LP's in my collection.

This will prevent me from continuing to buy duplicates!

All well they should!
My situation is radically different.

Today the kids and I made a blanket fort in the living room, and I have only been out of work for one day so far. I wonder what will happen for next week at minimum here.

We picked up some groceries for my mother and the store had a whole aisle of TP. It was even advertised in the flyer and they were honouring the sale price! Two 8 packs per family limit though.
The only thing the store was low on was pasta, tomato sauce and frozen pizzas. They has some of all but not a pile.
There was not a single bag of flour on the shelves when we went in but it was fully stocked again as we left.
Loads and loads of bread, milk, eggs, etc.
Overall the number of people and the stock on the shelves was not much different from any normal Friday evening.
The only noticeable difference was that all 8 check outs had cashiers at them instead of the normal 2 or 3.

Started gathering up supplies to finish out our shipping containers electrical, plumbing and the interior walls.
Then also will get to pulling off my houses roof shingles and redo but this time with metal.

Time off from work to do more work! Not going to sit idle for what could be weeks to wait this out.

Set up a card table, drape a large blanket over it, everyone gets their head under the table, dad smokes a joint, then everybody takes a nice long nap -

OK - aaaaa - that roof replacement job should keep you out of trouble for a couple of days.

This isn't the 70s any more. That is against the law now!
On that note, I was started watching the Alien movie series and realised they really like to smoke in space a lot in 2122.
You'd think being 2020 and us knowing about how bad it is now, that any manned space missions in 100 years wouldn't allow that up there.
