Alright, we’re all stocked up, everything is cancelled, we’re not supposed to congregate in even small groups, so what do we do? There’s no where to go, it’s risky to go to a friends house, as you don’t know where they’ve been, and I’m sure the gym will soon be closed. Guess we’ll have a lot of time to purge around the house and get in some good movies and books. At least we don’t have toddlers. Can you imagine trying to occupy a bunch of little kids?
Lori is still living upstairs alone. I see her maybe 2 or 3 times a day when she comes down for food or coffee. I make sure to stay a good 6 feet or more away from her. She’s still convinced she doesn’t have it, I’m convinced she does. So we have a stalemate. No matter who’s right, better to error on my side, right?
Ty’s girlfriend Zoe is coming home from Israel, I think today. We had a big company conference call yesterday and will put in a travel ban tomorrow and be cutting everyone’s salary between 15 and 20% on April 1st. Our thinking is to keep everyone employed and continue to provide medical insurance but with less money coming in, less needs to go out. I could just cut 2 or 3 people and leave everyone else alone but that’s not the right thing to do. I do have one girl I was letting go on Friday but unbeknownst to her, the virus saved her job!
Antonio was at a dinner on Thursday with a rep in Seattle who came down with the virus Friday morning. Not from him but the place he stays has now told him he needs to get his own place as the guy has older parents. Jody in Florida just returned two days ago from being on the road for 2 weeks. His wife wants him to go get a hotel and quarantine himself even though he has no symptoms as she’s diabetic. She even took the kids and went to a friends house until he could get some stuff. He found a VRBO for $800 for 12 days. Funny thing is I don’t think we’ll know a whole lot more in 12 days than we do now. So people are all freaking out. maybe I should be more but I’m taking it one day or one hour at a time.
The news just said people who were tested Wednesday are still waiting for results. Lori of course was tested Friday so that probably means a few more nights on the couch. It’s getting old and it’s only been 3 nights.
I did workout yesterday but think I’ll skip the gym today. Might run down to the house. If Lori wants to go we’ll be taking two cars. My neighbor said he’s thinking of going to Fiji for two months. I told him good luck getting there and if by chance he does, the virus will beat him there. Think I’ll work on the basement room full of stuff from Mom’s house. Oh yea, all the ski areas closed down too. Not sure what is actually still open. Hopefully gas stations and grocery stores. I will top of the gas tanks of both cars today.
That’s about it, be well, be smart and be safe. God Bless.
