Best day to backstab a bottle of salad dressing
Stuff continues.
I'm not going to count the days because I'm not sure where to start in our personal experience of things. But today is a day.
Jay Inslee shut down pretty much the entire state. I'm naturally concerned about people who won't be able to work but I think it's a necessary step and perhaps not soon enough.
Pence being in charge of the national response terrifies me, because he caused an HIV outbreak and to every appearance is attempting to immanentize the eschaton.
Trump... *giant fart noise*
Belovedest had taken a little bit of time off in anticipation of Emerald City Comic-Con, which was postponed. So we've been at home most of the last few days.
There has been much hand washing. We had a Costco pair of hand soap bottles when the ex moved out, and still have half the first and all of the second. We got some lotion to help compensate for all the washing. I already had some, but it wouldn't have held out long enough.
Mama is managing her anxiety by sending my sister and me lots of emails. I feel like that's a sensible choice. Myself, I am medicated well enough that while I'm definitely aware of my status as a person with multiple conditions that put me at increased risk and near the bottom of a triage list like Italy's, mostly it doesn't break through into acutely affecting my mood. (It did break through some last night, which was a bit of an emotional moment.) Based on my illness in January, I have bad expectations for good results if I get anything fiercer than that cold if I don't have hospital access.
I'm not super worried about my ability to keep from getting cabin fever. I'm used to being home and reading a lot. [Twitter says: "Social isolation? I've been training for this my whole life!"] I'm glad we got Alex's library cards sorted when we did. I genuinely *like* Belovedest in addition to loving them, so that's good. It's a big house, so everyone can be in separate places as necessary.
Belovedest ordered a new stick of RAM for my desktop machine, so as soon as that gets here and installed, and I get my keyboard protector cleared, I may be able to think more than one thought at a time.
tkingfisher finally got ADHD meds. I've been following with some interest. There's a definite sense of anger and betrayal when it viscerally hits that the technology was there to have made some of the disaster that was your life less bad than it was. The information that your brain has to work harder just to stay afloat is important too.

If they weren't on different continents, I'd ask if he went to the same megachurch as our prime minister. :(
I've been following UV's ADHD saga too. I am happy for her but also envious.
