I've been seriously rationing my food since I'm afraid to go to the supermarket (my husband is blood type A and had asthma as a kid, both of which are linked to much more severe risk of the virus) and all the delivery services are booked solid for weeks. There's almost no more food left in our apartment, and the constant hunger makes it hard to think about anything else. I've been trying to sleep but I can't sleep with these hunger pangs.
No, no, no! Don't do that! It'll just make you need TP more!
And ohhwanderlust, get some food! Starving versus the remote chance you'll catch something at the supermarket right now.... no contest which choice is smarter. Go get food!
I'm gaining weight from eating the treats dh stroked up on. That's my first world problem right now.
And we have 5 adult-sized people in a small apartment where we have holed up for several weeks now. I'm sick of seeing complaints from people in huge houses full of entertainment options feeling they have nothing to do. I don't know what it's like to be them, but that doesn't sound too horrible to me. However, I am thankful to have a roof over my head and I'm not in immediately danger of losing said roof, so all in context. I'll try to refrain from complaining.
I am still coughing from a cold. (Cold is much better now.). Sent DH to COSTCO to shop during senior hour. He apparently lost concentration when he saw the loooong checkout line. So, he did not find or buy some of the things on the list. He did find paper towels, so there is that. But no ground beef or any beef, no bacon, only two loaves of bread, instead of four. I have not griped to him. I’m griping here.
Thinking about trying to barter paper towels for boxes of tissues though.

If the food delivery turnaround time is 'weeks', order now and then think about how you'll get food there in the meantime. Ask family or friends to go, or order online.
There's also something called Nextdoor you can sign up for (phone app or online) and other members are people in your community. I often see others volunteering to run errands for those who are elderly or have health issues. There's also something called Help Map - you'll see a map of people volunteering to help others and they list what kind of help they can provide. Shopping is a common one. Reach out to them using the messaging system - people are more than willing to help others during this crisis.
Since I'm pretty much a homebody, this really hasn't affected me very much. However it's different knowing I can't go anywhere rather than choosing to stay home a lot.
My nail appointment was for tomorrow. Since these are gel on top of acrylics I can't even take the polish off without soaking my fingertips in acetone which I don't want to do. I guess I will have to keep filing and using nail filler in the regrowth.
Couldn't do anything for son's birthday Monday. These are all FWP for sure.
My second day of not working and not knowing what is going on so house cleaning 101. My usual outlets for OMG (out of my garage) are all working from home and are basically shut ins. Amazon boxes come in handy.
Diesel pushers are drastically going down in price. Poor SO is going through every scenario he can come up with the justify an immediate need. He is very creative:>) I shall stay fast!
I was forced to trim my own hair. I cut the bangs too short.
