Well, as of 6 hours ago, MI has joined the SIP club. That's Shelter In Place for those few of you who are living in a free state still. We are confined until 4/13. Three weeks. I have enough food and supplies. Hopefully we will only need to go to the store once or twice in that time for some basics. Gonna change my name to Gordon Freeman and start a revolution. Let's see if these idiots take things a little more seriously now. Unlikely, but we shall see. When I go upstairs in a few to shower, I am going to peek outside and count how many cars. How many people think they are out there being 'essential'.
B did leave the house yesterday and while I didn't go, I understand why she did. Her sister's birthday is Friday which is now ruined. I know that if my 14th birthday got ruined like this I would be pretty pissed off. They had a SMALL impromptu celebration at B's mom's house. Everyone stayed 6 ft away from each other too. B gave her a print out of the MCR tickets. I have a video of it. She nearly has a panic attack. She couldn't believe it was real. Gave the kid some hope to make it through all this bullshit. Last night was supposed to be Billie Eilish for B so seeing her sister happy helped ease that annoyance.
I spent the day recording. Almost through this class. So very close. I should finish today. I also got full confirmation that starting next Monday I will be teaching for a minimum of 4 weeks straight. That takes care of my needs for a while. I will have salary coming in for at least the next month.
That was my day. B broke down on the way home and brought taco bell since it will be the last time she can have it for a while. Speaking of things like that, I was pondering last night how many smokers, addicts, etc are going to be going through some forced withdrawals. Plus since apparently liquor stores are essential, how many domestic abuse cases will there be? How many people will die because they're trapped in a house with an abuser and potentially a drunk abuser who has no place to go and nothing to do but beat their partner and kids? Fun times.
Welcome to the true Republic of Fear and Loathing. Thank goodness we have competent leadership in charge. Oh wait. We're fucked.
