And the cat will be okay. When I was younger and my Mom wanted to downsize from the house I grew up in, she and my dad/stepmother switched houses, and the new house was about 5 miles away. She took the cat to the new house, he disappeared for a week, and then he ended up showing up at the old house 5 miles away where my dad/stepmom were now living. Twice! But he eventually adjusted just fine.
Lisa....girl, I feel this more than you can possibly know. I'm here if you ever need to vent. I'm so sorry for all you're going through. ((hugs))




I love you girl....but I do not think I can take an extra husband...especially one who sounds as picky as my own. Maybe we can all chip in and send him to a hotel for you :-) Or better yet, send you to a hotel and let him finish unpacking ....just saying!

Boys are dumb. That's all :)

Or better yet, send you to a hotel and let him finish unpacking definitely a better idea ;)

Boys are dumb. That's all :) .....never a truer statement :)


I’m so sorry to hear Lisa. One day at a time. That’s what I learnt from last year. Tell your husband to take a chill pill. That’s what I do!
Your cat will be fine! I can imagine my Mum doing that too.
Hang in there. Kisses 😘




Ugh I'm with you. We're "at risk" from being in Europe and I'm just trying to figure out how I'm going to pick up the groceries I ordered for Monday. It's curbside so I didn't think anything of it at first, but they usually have me sign something. Even more importantly...booze!! Wonder if my liquor store will take payment over the phone then casually set the bottles outside on the sidewalk? 🤔

Booze is a huge concern. ...and a necessity!

You're not alone. I don't think I ever realized just how paranoid I really am until recently. I went to the store over lunch for some items for work and decided to pick up some more things for home....$350 more in groceries later...after I dumped a shit ton the other night....I think I have a serious problem....let's just say...we won't go hungry...and we have LOTS of alcohol to drink....but there still wasn't any TP (I still have plenty at home though so not worried)...there was NO bread or milk and they are even rationing potato chips people...what the hell...when you have to tell people they can only buy so many bags of potato chips. I'm seriously questioning our society....

If I was there girl...I'd get you alcohol...and groceries...I've established I'm very skilled at buying both! ;-)

Thanks Michele!


OMG amaretto sounds so good right now! I love it in a frozen margarita!
I could only order 60 items for grocery pickup so you know this girl got 2 Black Boxes of wine instead of 8 bottles. #maths #noshame 😆

I know what you mean about the news...when I'm home I want to watch non-stop, but then I start to worry...and I really need to have a conversation with my girls to see how they are feeling...I'm still working (here right now actually) but that may change soon, changes are daily...(view spoiler) I'm really not that important in the food chain, however, my job is client based in the office so working from home is not an option...but I'm fine with it bc everyone else is home so this is a break from that! :) lol...groceries are definitely hit and miss here as well...to get TP is purely luck if you're in a store when they put some out - limits everywhere of 1 or 2 pkgs...my priority tomorrow is getting booze ;)
I'm homebound for the foreseeable future now too, my work school shut down Monday. I have a call with the CDC tomorrow though, still keeping up with all that (even if I don't really want to...lol!) Had to take my kids to their school today to pick up work/their Chromebooks...and I basically told them to say goodbye to society, because we're not going back out. I'm in a high-risk category, I have severe asthma, high blood pressure and I have a couple of auto-immune things going on...so yeah, I'm sitting this one out. It's hard because I'm an RN, so I'm having a lot of mixed feelings about it...my heart wants me to be on the front lines helping people...but my head tells me that I need to be home where it's safe because rationally my body may not be able to fight this off.
I've been stress cleaning, my son was supposed to be having surgery on the 30th...which has been pushed back now. I'm kind of a hot mess over here.
My hubby does the shopping...so I can't even tell you the state of our grocery stores here. Again d/t my issues we're not taking any chances of me coming into contact with anything. But we're all set on TP...we always buy that stuff in bulk at BJ's anyway...I've got teenagers. *shrug*

Lisa, most of my office is working remotely too....but I'm going in because I'm totally set up there and it's empty! But today, my husband is actually having emergency oral surgery! Ugh!!!
Grey, you are doing the right thing by taking care of yourself. I keep thinking of all our past comments about having enough books for an apocalypse.......so I'm definitely stocked on ebooks because I'm an obsessive book buyer!!!
Robin, can't imagine what you guys are going through!
Michele, my store shelves are empty! It's freaking me out and I'm losing sleep over it and having nightmares of finding peanut butter!

Just write it on the list. Out of pancake mix? Let me just run to the store. It just points out to me what a selfish and entitled society we (and I'm including myself) have become and everything we take for granted. Yet, in the next breath there is someone doing the most kind and selfless thing that brings tears to my eyes. This too shall pass, I am sure.

Can you do your postage online Ela? Is that what you're asking?

I'm struggling to focus on reading.... wish someone could recommend a book right now that is unputdownable. My current read is just ok....
Lisa, you are actually making me laugh! You are so right how we have taken everything for granted! Thank you for the rant and stay safe!
Just ordered cat food from Amazon.....chewy.com was out of stock!

Yikes!! Fortunately Amazon had it for you. They were out of my dog food the other day but I was able to get it ONLINE through Target...but not at the stores...those shelves were bare too.

Lisa, I feel everything you are saying girl....100%

On top of that, it's major allergy time in Tennessee, so we all have the normal sinus stuff. And they vape, so anytime one of us coughs, we yell out, "Vape cough!" Or "sinus cough!" Or "random cough!"
I won't even hug hubs goodbye when he leaves for work. We had our first case in our county announced yesterday, and I just found out that it's in my small city, which only makes up about 1/20th of the county. Lovely!
I did order supplies back in mid-February though, so I'm good there. I'm not going anywhere!
Everyone stay disinfected!

Nope, cannot do...

You stay safe!! There will be time for hugs and figuring out how to get all the hand sanitizer out of our systems later when this is all done with. I read a funny thing (or at least I found it funny because I'm twisted that way) that said: In the year 2030: Are you a victim of overuse of disinfectants? You may be entitled to a settlement. Call 1-800-COVIDUS to speak to our representatives.
We have quite a few cases in our county and several deaths. We just had our second case of community spread of unknown origin, so that means things go on even tighter lockdown. That was their threshold. Schools are out for a minimum of 8 weeks now, and that pretty much means the rest of the school year.
We finally got my mom out of the hospital and into an acute rehab facility. Going into the hospital to visit was a nightmare. I was terrified of bringing something in to her or taking something out with me. Of course, at the rehab facility they aren't allowing any visitors for the foreseeable future. That sucks for her, but it will allow her to focus on her rehab. It's also a really nice place with plenty of activities and good food if she's motivated to get up off her butt and get moving.
Somehow, I always seem to turn everyone's comments around to me me me. The whole point before my long-winded spiel was to say naming coughs is sheer brilliance and that you all need to take care and stay healthy!!! Wash your damn hands and do it again just to be sure!

They just declared a "state of emergency" in our county yesterday, so the schools, which are now only closed until the end of March, will probably close for the remainder of the year. They're having a meeting right now about what's going to happen county-wide.



I just want to live on my front porch for a couple of weeks.
Our governor has only cancelled schools until April 1st so far...but with New York having the highest number of Covid cases in the United States, there is no way we'll actually go back to school on the first of April. It's heartbreaking. I already miss the students...and my own kids hate "home-school" and despise their new teacher... LOL!
I've been stress cleaning. My house has probably never been so clean. Except before the children were born, LOL!
