What Are You Thinking? (cont'd)

[TronRP]

I think I had better not sit still for too long...I just might fall asleep...

[TronRP]

I think I overdid it yesterday with appointments and errands.  So I think I had better pace myself today.

Wondering if we're going to talk about the Coronavirus now?

Do you mean "now" as in on DGN, because that is the only thing anyone is talking about everywhere I go and every radio and TV station I have seen in the past 2 days.  Even the announcer on wllz today decided to talk about something other than the virus outbreak.  However, he asked everyone to bear with him because the only other topic in the news is men wearing pearls now.  He said he and his friends will definitely not be wearing pearls, but that's the only other thing in the news at the moment.

 

Honestly, I'm about over it.  I feel like yelling at the top of my lungs:

WASH YOUR HANDS PEOPLE!!!

...but I digress...

They shut my kids college down. They said people who are even feeling sick with a slight cold should self quarantine,  Trump was on Channel 7 and basically said eff politics right now. 

I was seriously tired of hearing about it and was thinking like that until tonight actually. I thought people were overreacting and maybe they still are but something is different with this one.

I hope the kids leave for the bus on time...they keep leaving late and missing their buses lately.

They actually did it.  Today the kids were on time!!! 🎉

I hope I can stay on track and handle all of the scheduling, paperwork and accounts today.

You'd think the camera operators, editors, and directors would realize that television screens are no longer 13 inches. It's disconcerting to wake up in the middle of the night to a gigantic face staring at you.

Do I book the flight for New Orleans now for November, or wait? Or do I book both the flight and hotel now and wait until I have enough for the event ticket?

Wait until you have enough for the event ticket.

Okay it's such a crisis but people are refusing to buy dasani water? Shut up. I'm done. It's like a episode of South Park.

With luck, I should be able to save for it; it's the hotel I worry about. (about 500 for the event ticket and near 890 for the hotel)

Losing their minds might save me half of what the ticket was before the panic.

Just be sure to keep an eye on the airfare.  Prices fluctuate during "downtime", but increase as it gets closer to the departure date.

They just mandated parts of the Bay area in California to not leave their homes...how long until the rest of us are?

The TA in Monroe has an employee directing people in the restaurants inside there they have placed X's on the floor 6 feet away from each other and people can only stay on the X.

Regarding COVID-19, the way I see it is an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Being put out for a short period of time to let this virus run its course is worth more than trying not to interrupt ones "routine" at the risk of death.

Yeah, I know. Now's the time to actually get the airline ticket. I can book the hotel (and save like nothing else even with paying all the bills), and wait for the event tickets.

Looks like I'm screwed.

I find it interesting that I get picked at, from time to time, about being a germaphobe and yet every time there is an "outbreak", the first things the public buys up are cleaning supplies, disinfectants and paper products.  My question is what were you using before the outbreak...
