Please tip the writer<\/a>. Whatever amount you like-every little bit helps, and I’ll do a shoutout. We are always short of cash, especially with a big mortgage. Let me know if you or someone you know needs web design\/development-my rates aren’t bad, and I’m more than pretty good at it. Java\/database\/AWS\/UI too. ThankYouVeryMuch!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well. Time to record this-“this is the time, and this is the record of the time”<\/a> Time just keeps moving. At this juncture, it’s all about “so, you’ve been in a pandemic, what do you do now?” The answer is, of course, panic. Which is why there’s not one roll of TP on the shelves. <sigh> Not minimizing the severity of this-it seems to have a pretty high death rate, at least among old and sick people. And we’re not even 3 months in-so I’m working from home for now. Not much else-politics is much the same-we’re beginning Spring, DST, but still cold out. I need to sell stuff and go through my white bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday morning, sitting in bed and making rice. Pretty quiet-w\/o last night-lightened the load a bit, less deep on t\u2019ai chi. Got work done, pretty decent… S got a new bed, living room is still a mess-hopefully this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday on the train to work. Busy weekend-shop, libe, laundry, put up blinds, stuff into the outside closet, no church, w\/o. We\u2019re planning the week\u2019s meals. More genealogy-tracked back to more English royalty. S has a temp and is staying home-E wants to finish up her room and the living room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday morning, trying to do stuff. We\u2019re short of $$$ this week, but there\u2019s a cushion. I want to keep the budgetary discipline and save more. We\u2019ll see. It would be awesome to keep moving $ to savings, and maybe to Fidelity! Wish me luck… Coronavirus is causing market panic-maybe I don\u2019t want to be in the market until everything hits bottom. I\u2019d like to buy a house, too, so I need a down payment. Plus also retirement savings, but that\u2019s next…or never. I\u2019ve resigned myself to working until I die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday morning in scrum. All online, so I can skive…busy working, getting stuff done. Filed for TA, laundry, keeping stuff tidy. Short on ca$h for the next week too. E did drive by Ash Wednesday at church-got on the local news. Back to regular weights on w\/o-I think I\u2019ll start back to regular routines rather than the cut down one-I\u2019m not as injured as I was… Afternoon-E is in the ER-we\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday morning-waiting for scrum. E had right side pain, but nothing wrong, so they gave her pills and we were gone in time to pick up M from the train. Got S from a classmates\u2019, then got dinner. E is supposed to eat lightly. She has a neurologists appointment this morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A week has passed. It’s Friday morning again, on the scrum. Worked from home this week, because of the coming plague. Wait, it’s just an outbreak of bat flu. So, not much the last week-we think E had a pulled muscle, the neuro thing went well. S has ADHD, but a mild case. Good w\/o’s, church, M and C are fine, C had an interview with GameStop. Not much else. Shopping, tidy-the house is staying that way because I’m home. I do a few minutes here and there-going through my boxes, white bin next, need to sell my extra stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday, noonish. Sitting in sprint planning meeting #2. Pretty mellow working from home-S’ alarm didn’t go off and she came in at 8:08 and woke us up-had to hurry and get lunch made. Quiet weekend too-w\/o-started back on the regular routines, tidy, shopping, no church, thing, binz-picked up 2 pairs of shoes-hightop Chucks and Clark’s desert boots. $180 worth of shoes for $20. Cleaned, fixed up, looks nice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
