7:30 PM 3/24/19: 41 Cases in Chester County (up from 30 the last time I looked) – 4 in my parents’ township, 1 in mine – 0 deaths (I like that part) [I might be checking more than once a day.] 11:35 AM 3/25/19: Still 41. Still 0. 🤞 I went to Target this morning. […]

I woke up this morning to this headline: Texasx Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick suggests he, other seniors willing to die to get economy going again I am about 110% sure that is not true. And I am not up for sacrificing any seniors for the sake of the stock market. Nope. That is not a […]

We are up to 21 cases in Chester County. Every time I check the dashboard (only once a day ) and the number goes up it’s another one of those little punches in the gut. Edit: I checked again and it’s 30 now…and one in Upper Uwchlan. So – it’s here :( I know that […]

I checked the county dashboard and we are up to 18 cases, with 3 in the township next to mine. None in my actual township yet, but I’m sure that’s coming. I was listening to Rachel Maddow from Friday (via Podcast) and she was talking about how the NY hospitals are quickly being overwhelmed. I […]

I spent the morning cleaning my house. Wiping door handles with antibacterial cleaner. Scaring the dog with the Swiffer WetJet. She hates that thing. I am terrified that my child brought germs from California. I really hope she didn’t, but I have to act like she did. Looking at my kid as a risk is […]

One more thing. As each section of life shuts down it’s just one more thing. We are fine. These are all the right moves. I am trusting in the process. But one more effing thing. And then another. Last night we got a notice that all non-life-sustaining businesses were to shut down in the state […]

Remote grocery shopping is not going to be a thing for me, sadly. I ordered a few things from Whole Foods via Amazon (I know…still evil…) to be delivered last night. Among the few things were 2 jars of peanut butter, with which Jack was going to bake dog treats to donate to the SPCA […]

My office at work is officially closed. There have been escalating levels of “suggestion” that folks work from home, but now there is no other option. I work from home anyway and never ever want to go to the office so this doesn’t impact me in the least. But it’s one more thing. The dashboard […]

Happy St Patrick’s Day! I have a strict “no drinking alone” policy so I will not be celebrating beyond the green(ish) hat that I put on for my afternoon walk. Sláinte.* *Tangential anecdote: Jack and I went to one of those “paint a wood thing” places for Valentine’s Day and the woman across the table […]

Maybe this is why I renewed my WordPress? Day 1 of ?! I got up at a semi-normal time given that I didn’t have to get my kid up for school. School is now apparently optional and starting optional things at 7:30 am feels wrong. Walked dogs and noted that the sun is shining and […]
