I didn't go to bed until after 2am last night. I've had about 5 hours of sleep. Partially by choice, partially because fuck people. In the morning I went to Petsmart where I picked up a few things we had missed. So I was there right at 9 when they opened and back home by 9:30. I then had a couple of hours to kill until class. Class went until 7ish. After I satrted setting up the new cannister filter. I don't think it's working quite right. I think my hoses are too long and it can't get the push it needs. I have to cut them today and see if it works better. Now, instead of going to bed at a decent time, B and I had the wonderful idea we would try late night grocery shopping. On one hand it was a smart thing. Starting today, the big grocery store by us, which is normally 24 hours, will be closed from 10p - 8am so they can actually restock shelves. A smart deicsion on the part of the store. No complaints on that. But the store itself was fucking packed. We got in line at midnight and there were four people ahead of us. TWO of them had multiple baskets. We didn't get out of there until 12:50. Almost an hour in line. And there were a good 10 people behind me. We got 80% of what we needed. I need to hit the little store next to me to see if they have the remaining couple of things. I will head over there shortly. After I pay bills and the like.

The kid got some news. She is one of the very few who gets to keep part of her job. She is on half hours for the future but she does get to claim unemployment. Assuming the government can keep up, she should get about 85%-90% of her normal pay. But last night her whole state is now on shelter in place. No leaving the house for anything short of an emergency.

WTF is happening? I have never been through anything this crazy. Part of it is the leadership of course. "Chinese virus". Fucking moron. Racist asshole. Frankly they're the one people who have the best chance of helping us. They probably already have a vaccine but why would they share it with a cunt like him? Again, anyone I know who still stands behind this administration is dead to me. Plain and simple. You're dead to me.

I have recordings to do today. Next week I have three days of confirmed classes, then I start 3 weeks for folks in Texas. Then 2 weeks for folks in Sacramento. So six weeks of work for sure. After that, who knows. I am really hoping the world is a better place in six weeks. God save us all.
