QUARANTINE!!

I'm going to be positively feral by the time this thing is over.

I thankfully am able to work from home, my husband after a couple of days of his work being closed they were given guidance they are considered essential and he went back to work.

I've been working from home daily since mid-March, I try to really limit my outings to the store so I try and go once a week or maybe once every two weeks. I have a dog so that forces me to get out and take a walk although I have a cloth mask that I've started to wear for walks around the neighborhood. My only other weekly outing is to see my dad, I put on an old N-95 mask I had already from doing house stuff before I go into his house since he's at higher risk. And wore my N-95 at the grocery store the other day as well. Although even how I shop in the store has changed since before all of this I loved to meander through the aisles and look now I'm pretty strategic of what I am there for to get myself in/out as quickly as possible.

It does worry me that my husband is having to go in to work, thankfully work has been slower so his public exposure has been less. But I'd be lying if I didn't say I was concerned.

My husband and I are walking the dogs and gardening a lot. The three youngest sons are home from college.

I'm with you. I work part-time for a chiropractor who is still open and seeing patients. I am not working until WI lifts the Safer at Home restrictions due to ongoing health issues. My job is thankfully safe, and I'm handling what office tasks I can remotely. Doing lots of reading, cleaning, walking the dog, cooking, and watching mindless TV. This extrovert really misses people.

DH is classified as essential and has been able to work from home since the 30th. His company is actually seeing a surge in business (pet supplies) worldwide.

Two of my guys are fully working from home. Eldest works for a college who apparently still has students on campus, somehow. He's essential (oversees residence halls) and lives in one of the states that does not have Safer at Home/Shelter in Place restrictions. He's doing what he can to minimize exposure to others but I still worry.

I live in one of those states as well. Every other night the apartment complex across the street from me throws a party with 20+ people and until a few days ago there wasn't anything that could be done. Now anyone at a gathering of over 10 people can be given a misdemeanor and a fine. It's going to snow this weekend which I think will cut back on the darties more than a $600 fine.
