Time to contemplate - April 8th, 2020

April 8th, 2020 - day 23

Not that I'm counting but officially it's been 21 days since mandatory stay at home was ordered on March 19th. But really I've been sheltering in place since the 17th when my company transitioned us to telecommuting so I'm calling it at 23 days.

Here's my thoughts:

🔸My cats have me very well trained it seems,

🔸I am drinking waaayyyy too much coffee,

🔸I'm wondering why the sign language interpreters on the breaking news updates are always so freakin' excited. Maybe they've been hitting the coffee too?🤔

🔸Not only am I talking to myself...I am now answering myself,

🔸Why is it my brain chooses 2am to obsess over where my missing music CDs are? (I found them)

🔸I'm contemplating if yoga pants are a step up from PJ bottoms?

🔸Why is everyone suddenly obsessed with Tiger King?

🔸I'm super thankful for Zoom and Echo Show!

🔸I miss hugs,

🔸I really miss my family,

🔸I'm looking forward to returning to work. I miss seeing my teammates,

🔸Starting to think my cat Sam is smarter than I am,

🔸I'm a pretty good cook,

🔸I've redone my office and am now eyeing my kitchen. What happens when I run out of rooms?

🔸There ARE such things as daytime PJ"s and nighttime PJ's 😁

🔸I am wondering if we will remember the lessons we've learned during COVID19 quarantine once life returns to normal 🤔

My kingdom for some toilet paper - March 13th, 2020

March 13th, 2020 On March 11th, 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared COVID19 as a pandemic. COVID19 has reached Italy and the numbers of those affected, hospitalized and dying are exploding. It is shocking, sad and very scary. People here in the US and in Southern California are in a panic raiding the grocery stores and hoarding supplies has become a thing. The paper goods aisles are completely ransacked. It's insane. Toilet paper is no where to be found. I am eyeing the few rolls I have and thinking I'll need to ration. My company is making preparations to move us all to home based. I am so concerned about our patients and our N.P.'s and M.D.'s that are seeing them. There is a Nationwide shortage of PPE they need to stay safe. It seems the public have been hoarding masks (including N95's), gloves, hand sanitizer and Lysol wipes. This may get ugly. Me, Sara...

Our new normal - April 1st, 2020

Our new norm.... Wearing masks when you must venture out... but mind you this does NOT mean disposable masks and definitely NOT N95's as those are desperately needed by healthcare providers on the front lines. A cloth mask will work or even a bandana will do in a pinch. Here's a link to a good tutorial:. How to make a cloth mask The idea is to protect yourself and others as some are asymptomatic COVID19 and have no idea. That population could be anyone, even you or me. So stay home, wash your hands, practice social distancing and protect yourself and others. NY Times article on wearing face coverings

Laughing is better than crying

Yes, it's okay and healthy to laugh! Here are a few outlets for you...all PG rated. The Holderness Family on YouTube. If you haven't checked them out, you must. Penn and Kim Holderness and their two kids make the best videos. Their music video parodies are hilarious and a welcome distraction. They're also on Facebook and Instagram. Binge watching your favorite comedies on TV. If all else fails just Google "autocorrect fails". That outta do it 😂.
