Day 1 – I Can Do This!! Got enough food and wine to last a month!
Day 2 – Opening my 8th bottle of Wine. I fear wine supplies might not last!
Day 3 – Strawberries: Some have 210 seeds, some have 235 seeds. Who Knew??
Day 4 – 8:00pm. Removed my Day Pajamas and put on my Night Pajamas.
Day 5 – Today, I tried to make Hand Sanitizer. It came out as Jello Shots!!
Day 6 – I get to take the Garbage out. I’m So excited, I can’t decide what to wear.
Day 7 – Laughing way too much at my own jokes!!
Day 8 – Went to a new restaurant called “The Kitchen”. You have to gather all the ingredients and make your own meal. I have No clue how this place is still in business.
Day 9 – I put liquor bottles in every room. Tonight, I’m getting all dressed up and going Bar hopping.
Day 10 – Struck up a conversation with a Spider today. Seems nice. He’s a Web Designer.
Day 11 – Isolation is hard. I swear my fridge just said, “What the hell do you want now?”
Day 12 – I realized why dogs get so excited about something moving outside, going for walks or car rides. I think I just barked at a squirrel.
Day 14 – Watched the birds fight over a worm. The Cardinals lead the Blue Jays 3–1.
Day 15 – Anybody else feel like they’ve cooked dinner about 395 times this month?
And in other news, if the Last Supper was happening now…
LOL. I love it. Of course, all the fleet sailors be like “14 days? Try 8 months at sea on a tin can or carrier without internet or TV.”
We could make the smallest things seem like fun. Like betting on the nugget A-7 driver trying to land in rough seas, at night, in the Indian ocean. A lot of money changed hands that night.
So, as long as I have coffee, I’m good. If that runs out, the body count will be legendary.
I’m not that buggy. I’m used to a fair amount of shut in to start with.
I am finding it seriously rough.
I have to fly up to Wisconsin soon. Recon the airlines will provide hazmat suites for the flight?
Sounds much like me, except I’m not much of a wine drinker. I just wonder if my liver can survive the increased volume of whiskey I’ve been subjecting it to.
Just read this to the better half. She about busted a gut.
I appreciate the humor, but i’m starting to lose my sense of humor.
I am contemplating (seriously) going for a walk.
My governess said I can get some fresh air.
That’s an accepted activity, unlike working for a living or freely associating, or going to church or a gun store.
I might knock on a few doors and ask those on the other side of the door what they think of their fascist dictator governess now.
I figure I’ll probably get snitched.
I’m calling a couple lawyers in advance, see what their response will be and how much it will cost me.
Besides the $1000 fine and bail. I’m not rich.
Rehearse how I respond to the officer (Oathkeeper/Oathbreaker?).
Determine to carry as usual or not.
That’s some good stuff. Regarding the shutdown, Alaskans are starting to protest already … and the idiot mayor of Anchorage just asked the city assembly to extend it until November. No one knows why, but the pushback will be epic. Some merchants starting up again on their own, too.
They want to argue emergency level actions when the incident may well fall below the noise floor of measurement? They can try this public health argument on for size, and like it.
Socialism/Communism/Leftism are memetic infectious disorders, and LGBT semi-memetic infectious disorders.
Regular work can restart, but not primary/secondary teaching, and entertainment is a particularly risky vector of infection, and non-essential. Also, given the APA’s stance, Psychology and Psychiatry. Finally, college courses will be broken down into essential and non-essential. Engineering (exclusive of environmental engineering), upper division math, physics, chemistry, and for some programs computer science are essential. All others non-essential.
Especially with the new information that Corona-Wuhan, here in the United States, matches the spread pattern of the average seasonal flu, and is about as deadly as the same.
The DNC, the CDC and the Media panicked everyone into this. Interestingly, only after the impeachment process failed. Hmmmmm….
I think we might see some retractions, or abatement of panic, if we declared huge swaths of academic research non-essential, and did “technically its not a violation of the second amendment when we just criminalize any and all acts of for pay journalism, because the journalists can just blog instead” and prosecuted a bunch of universities and media organizations under RICO.
Exactly what incentives do tenured academics and journalists have not to screw with us peons who are probably all illiterate, and definitely can not get criticism published where it matters?
In fairness, I am prepared to be convinced that there is something there.
It is just that I am rather irritated about several aspects of the matter.
Also, I am convinced by my childhood that the proper name is Winnie’s Achoo.
/~It’s Winnie’s Achoo, It’s Winnie’s Achoo~/
Glad I retired a year ago – gave me some practice in ‘working’ from home and social distancing! But without the distraction of thinking where I’m going to go on a daily basis, I’ve gotten a lot of deep cleaning done around the house…
Way too true for comfort, Old NFO. We’re heading toward May 1, and they’re going to have to open the country up. The inner city hells will always be what they are. I don’t care if they’re locked down to stew in their own juices and so forth. But the nation is Not Metro New York/New Jersey.
All- Thanks and understood. It’s NOT a lot of fun and the pushback IS starting.\

Try going out for 75 days. Under water. No mail. No new supplies. Barely any news. Periscope liberty if at all.
That was my Summer of 1980 on the USS Omaha, cruising around the Indian Ocean. We had movies on 16mm and lots of books but you still saw the same 109 other guys every damn day…
Hasn’t kept me in. First, I’m a scofflaw. Second, I’ve always avoided crowds and lines. Third, I’ve an “essential” job. The fact I work maybe five hours a week at it doesn’t matter. I’ve the paperwork and badge.
Ha! I’ve been pretty busy with one thing and another and the compound’s a congenial place. So, can’t complain + the Red Death has really made it out here, oddly.
All- Thanks, we’re doing what we can do… sigh

I dang near chuckled mahseff to DEATH.
