Checking in. All are well here.
Taking it easy today to save back credits for tomorrow.
Groceries in the morning and them mow about 1.5 acres in the afternoon before rain starts Tuesday.
Might sharpen lawnmower blades, might not :)
And of course some housework to do.

Checking in - looks like Mr Juicy Lucy has a minor stomach bug - at least hoping that is all it is

He was up and down most of the night

Does not have most symptoms of you know what - he can taste and smell, no sore throat - but he does have terrible shortness of breath when he hurls :(

Still home. Mr. Gypsy out at a job for a bit. Watered my garden, mixed a bit of juice. Food shopping tomorrow.....ugh. I used to somewhat enjoy food shopping.....now it’s stressful and more than a little scary. Feels like a race to get everything I need and get the hell outta there. No fun.

Y’all stay safe. Thinking about @f1r3b1rd and @always9988 . My love to you all!!!:hug:

All the same here. The car guy still does his thing like nothings happening and covid doesnt exist. Went a bit crazy ordering some stuff last night as some mixing supplies I heard are going to be hard to get here for a while. Apparently FA Italy ceased production till further notice recently so stocked up on what I think will cover me in case things drag on. Pg & Vg seems to have gone up a little in price and hear they are in low supply here also.
Otherwise we personally feel just about right now.
Hope everyone else here stays safe and well. Those sick, get well soon.

Hope Everyone is well, I gotta go back up to Northeast Maine tomorrow for work, I hope we get everything done, and don't have to stay in a hotel again...had to stay in a hotel 2 nights last week, not looking forward to another risky night in a common place.

You’d think hotels would have no guests, except people traveling for work. Stay safe. I like playing the word game with you!

:wave:All good here.Happy at home in my own little world. Bro in Tx good. Hoping family in Md are good-none returned texts today-very odd.
Went to food give away at community center about 5 miles from me yesterday. In and out in 5 mins. They did a great job.Drive thru-they put bags in trunk and off you go. First time I have been farther than mailbox since last fri. Making a lettuce run wed.
Stay well and get well soon to those that are feeling down.

Thanks, I enjoy playing that with you as well Rhianne!
I am staying at decent hotels, but I'd think most people are... pretty quiet, but it doesn't take a million germs...
Tomorrow is gonna be brutal, leave at 3:30am, prolly get home ~7- 9pm.

Cover up any exposed skin, wear a mask and gloves, and avoid standing or being near people. It’s all we can do now.

I hope you’re okay tonight. Have a safe trip! :hug:

Just another day in paradise... :giggle: Hip is doing ok, still sore, but probably always will be. The county I live in is now at 29 confirmed cases and had the first death yesterday. My wife and I are doing fine otherwise.

All is well with my family, no sickness at all! We’ve been enjoying the weather, going for walks (we’ll wagon rides for the kids) and playing outside in the backyard. My youngest son, Tobias is going stir crazy... keeps begging to go bye bye and I feel bad because he doesn’t understand. Keep telling him if we go bye bye we’ll get sick. Can’t wait for this to all be over.

Morning everybody. Another day at home, hope we don't have to stir from here today.

I applied for Medicare this morning. I would be completely depressed if I weren't going to save a whole bunch of money every month on medical insurance.

Otherwise, SSDD. Hope everyone is well, hope Always and Bird are OK.

@wildgypsy70 Happy Birthday ladybug!!! Stay safe!!!

Morning check in.
Went to Wally world and took SIL.
The had line lanes outside the building and a cop sitting between the doors counting those coming and going.
No line this morning though. Only selfl checkouts open.

But TP and paper towells were up to 2/3 normal stock levels.
did not see any bleach but did not look closely. Iexpect all the sanitary wipes pretty much still gone as well.
Soup aisle was still a bit sparse.
No problems on anything I was looking for though.
Next trip at least 2 weeks. Timing will probably will depend on wifes prescriptions refills.

Or and wore gloves and mask. Saw few there with gloves and or masks.

Still on first sip of cup of coffee check in

I'm still fine; Mr J is on the mend - not perfect - but not as sick as yesterday

And best of all - my daughter's fever broke yesterday!!!

Wife and I are still healthy, and have not committed domestic abuse against each other, despite being here 24 hours a day with each other.

Finished painting my kitchen walls, ceiling and trim.
Started refinishing the old oak cabinets today.

Looks like our governor will probably extend the stay at home order within the next 5 to 7 days.

Found out 2 friends from church have tested positive for covid 19.
That makes at least 10 people here in my small town that I know of that have it now. Im sure there is a lot more, I just don't know them.

It's scary here in Michigan.

Monday check in. Had to go out today to get a belt for the tiller, had to go two places to find one:eek:. The first place no one was wearing a mask and gloves except for me:facepalm::facepalm:. The second place one man had the mask and gloves:rolleyes:. Even places I had to drive by no one had mask or gloves:gaah:.

We're still hangin in there and being as careful as we can. Good to see none of our VU family have ended up in the hospital or worse:eek:

Everyone be extra careful here for the surge weeks (next two weeks):eek:

= Check In =

Still no news is good news. Me and wife are alright. Days are running
together for her as well. Ha! Now, she knows how I feel when I say it's
all the same day. She did up a home made mask yesterday for a grocery
run. Told her to take a bank as well, didn't get sacks of cash though.

Oh well. One can always fantasize. :)

Doing okay, my throat was sore when I woke up yesterday and today. But it went away. So maybe allergies? But I’ve been taking 3 grams of Vitamin C daily since the weekend, so maybe it kicked something up.

I’m expecting a delivery supposedly between 6-8 am. Stuff from my CSA farm people, whose delivery guy comes when he feels like it. Meaning anytime between 10pm and 8am. (Millennials. :sigh: )
But I’m trying to hold back on non perishable food, so I’m hungry now already. :cry:

Fully over our colds now. Starting to not know what day it is with not going anywhere.
Did my 1.5 kilometer walk up and down our driveway. Driveway is 15 meters long.
Heard how bad it is getting in places where you guys are and saw some doctors and nurses in your hospitals talking about what its like. It must be terrifying for them, its impossible to even imagine how they must be feeling.
I know some of you here are in those towns and cities where it is really bad. I really hope you all stay safe and well.
