I need to climb the Big Ladder and bring down enough cat food to last us for a bit, and I need to climb the Little Ladder and put away things in the kitchen.

I couldn't get in last night to post.

Jeanne I forgot about Amy's Kitchen pot pies.

DR Jeanne I enjoyed your chair story.

DR Vixmom the notice of a confidential food drop off was smart.

At different times Keith had a Costco card and instead of giving me the second one Bryan had it. I don't think Craig ever wanted it.

I believe those doses of Lysine gel are picking up Annabelle's health. There's been no horrific sneezing and snorting for twelve hours. And . . . she ate breakfast.

Very good news. Vibes she continues to improve.

This is laundry day. As soon as kitty cleanup is over, I will head to the laundry room. I also need to step out and pick up a bottle of apple juice. I can only drink clear liquids on Sunday. I won't be purchasing much until I am home from hospital.

Do you have Gatorade? I believe the electrolytes is why I didn't get sick the last time I drank Suprep. I had a bad reaction the previous time.

Friday morning greetings! Apparently I forgot to log out last night. I was awakened at 3:30 by a thunderstorm, and again at 4:45. Eventually went back to sleep, but had some weird dreams.

I never log out.

I don't either.

Steel cut oatmeal, fresh sliced strawberries, slivered almonds

If I like steel cut I could have purchased it. Seems Quaker old fashioned ran out first.

DR elmore are you safely down the ladders?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #42 on:** March 20, 2020, 07:11:08 AM »

Good morning, all.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #43 on:** March 20, 2020, 07:15:20 AM »

Well, this is bizarre.

But what isn't these days?

I read the notes on my iPad a while ago over a cuppa tea and a danish. Now I'm on the computer where I can type decently, and I just went to review the notes.....and for the first time in - what, weeks, for me? - the page was stuck on yesterday's notes. Refreshing the page did the trick.

DR JEANNE Mr Fields and Mr DeMille were both at Paramount - so congrats on your find! We need some photographic evidence.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #45 on:** March 20, 2020, 07:15:35 AM »

Hurry up and wait.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #46 on:** March 20, 2020, 07:17:18 AM »

Not much to report here. This afternoon I go over to the doctor's office for my (somewhat) routine blood pressure check so they can refill my prescription. I'm really due for a full physical but they didn't have time to schedule one this week, hence this quick visit.

No. I'm about to climb the Big Ladder. I may not deal with the kitchen until I've finished the laundry.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #49 on:** March 20, 2020, 07:21:46 AM »

WELL......I made the mistake of going to WalMart this morning at about 8:15 a.m.

I needed some bananas and tomatoes....and wanted to see what else I could see....

Mostly what I saw was people behaving the way MR BK described. It was horrifying. Folks were getting at least two carts of items....stacked high.....

I got my bananas, tomatoes, and one onion. I went down the aisle and got my sister a prepared salad for when she comes to do some maintenance on myself later today.... No ground beef.....no hot dogs except for cheese dogs....so I got the bun size dogs.

I got some water.....a four pack of paper towels (only one roll at home) and a four pack of toilet tissue (which I don't use, but I thought someone in my family might be desperate.)

Lines were long at the register - and the store has recently been renovated so there weren't as many registers as there used to be....most of which were never opened anyway.

A lady said here's the self checkout. I said I never used it....and two of them said....it's easy we'll show you....

So they proceeded to ring up everything for me. It turns out that I had picked up two packages of paper towels.....and I told them i thought one was Tp. They let me keep one, then one of the ladies said we have a package of TP up here if you want it.

It had obviously been confiscated from some miscreant who tried to hoard it....so now it is mine....

I think it was the attitude of some folks that was the most scary....

THE END.

Dr Aronoff's office confirmed receipt of the medical clearances and my Monday arrival time of 6:30AM.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #51 on:** March 20, 2020, 07:23:03 AM »

And now I am home.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #52 on:** March 20, 2020, 07:27:59 AM »

So following the doctor appointment, I'm home for the weekend. Well, not that that makes me special.

Even though we aren't (yet?) under an official "stay inside" advisory, obviously it's the smart thing to do.

It's pretty easy for me to stay contentedly at the house. I've got more than enough to do, and it even occurred to me yesterday how you don't even get cabin fever when you've got a lot of outdoor space to walk around or work in.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #53 on:** March 20, 2020, 07:30:08 AM »

Of course, some normalcy and, you know, "jobs" (as in "paying jobs" - remember those?) would be nice, too.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #54 on:** March 20, 2020, 07:32:10 AM »

But we're not going to see normalcy for a while.

And DR Jrand69's experience is both scary...and disgusting, people-wise. No two ways about it.

We're in decent shape here right now, but we'll certainly take inventory and see what we really need in order to get through the next few weeks...and then take care of that later as best we can.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #55 on:** March 20, 2020, 07:35:18 AM »

The only thing I didn't find was spray disinfectant.

Went to the Dollar Tree for cookies and there was none there either.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #56 on:** March 20, 2020, 07:37:26 AM »

Cat Clinic in Danbury has gone to total "curb service". No one may enter the jernt. When we have an appointment, we're to drive there and park outside and call them to tell them we're there. They'll come out and take the cat carrier, and if you want, you can be on the phone with the doctor and assistants while they check kitty over. And if you're just there to pick up prescription food (which I do regularly), you have to call in advance so they can have it ready and hand it to you outside the door.

I appreciate that they're taking great care to protect themselves and their patients and their patients' owners. But we are now already living in conditions none of us would have dreamed of just a month ago.

Laundry is finished and spread out on my bed to be put away. I will do that as soon as little Thatch tires of sleeping amongst it. I think it's the happiest part of his life. If he's happy, I'm happy.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #58 on:** March 20, 2020, 08:03:21 AM »

So, I may lie down and join him for a while.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #59 on:** March 20, 2020, 08:04:01 AM »

I have some picking up to do, but that can wait. Tomorrow I will vacuum the jernt and change the litter.
