I know I’m pregnancy crazy overreacting but the more I think about it the more annoyed I get. It’s central America, so not a corona virus hotspot but still they’re going to be in airports...it’s making me wonder if I can get away with avoiding them for two weeks after. Get away with? I would insist on it! (And I'm not paranoid about Corona, but goodness gracious you are pregnant! And airports!) 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Rose Herbs is out of elderberries (not uncommon this time of year) so I might look elsewhere for them. Or maybe not. It seems the virus is on it's way out in China and really not likely to be a major thing elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Good morning! A Very Special Happy Nirthday to all the Leap Year Babies! (I only know one, dh's niece, who is celebrating her 5th birthday today :D) We are all amazed at the sight of a giant yellow orb in the sky today! Must be a sign or something. I am on a quest to find a pair of pajamas that fit me, as everything I currently have is 3 sizes too big. Might see if Kohl's has anything on the clearance rack. Dd13 has book club this afternoon - she's leading the discussion on "The Book of the Dun Cow" so I might sit in for moral support. Coffee!

maize Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Hi all, Ds14 had a tumbling meet this morning. Dd16 had a black-belt pre-test which she should have skipped because she came home from Texas sick but convincing her to skip anything martial arts is almost impossible. She is now in bed with a fever. I think the odds are 99% in favor of her not having coronavirus but I'm a bit concerned about that probably-not-even-1%-but-still-a-possibility chance that someone attending her international martial arts competition did bring coronavirus with them and she caught it. Dh's sister texted this morning to say she was stopping by for a short visit this afternoon so we scrambled to get the house moderately visitor ready and had a very nice visit.

lots of little ducklings Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Did all the things today (and yesterday, and the day before that) and now iTired. It is nice to have my laundry room back though! Finished the wall painting on Thursday, and put away all the supplies today. I still have to install some shelves on the wall, but Dh needs to be around to help out with that (they are heavy; and I stink at finding studs. Well.... that kinda stud, anyway. 😉) I may play hooky tomorrow in order to finish up some projects around the house. Our agent comes by Monday morning so I'm starting to panic about all the little things left to do before we list. I did get our kitchen ordered, though! It will be weird to have a functioning dishwasher and microwave again after so many years. They won't arrive until mid-April. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Went to visit mom at rehab and she's highly motivated to get out of there fast. Which is good, she'll work hard. She's 74 and she said she's the youngest person in the place. Dh got a new stove today. He returned the one we got a month ago because it stunk. Two of the burners were unusable. One was always too high and one was always too low. New stove is just right.

Critterfixer Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Morning. I was wondering what had happened to Slache, and then I thought--must be Lent. I don't see myself giving up anything right now. I'm dealing with a pretty rough round of post-project depression. It's typical for me. I was unable to sleep night before last, and woke up really unhappy this morning. Give it a few days and a writing project or two and it will be better, but until then, I think I need all my little support things like flowers, chocolate, caffeine, and so forth.
