Dismayed at the news of Vixmom's homeless shelter closing, I called the shelter here that I support and asked how they're doing. They said they've had minimal disruption. Their beds are normally six feet apart and they work closely with the Health Dept. They have a clinic onsite and have had the predicable shortages there, but otherwise things haven't changed much. Sadly, I expect there will soon be even more demand for their help.

I'm surprised BK was able to wait long enough after his Katz delivery to even take the pictures.

Annabelle's congestion seems to have broken up. She's still having occasional huge fits to clear her head of crap but the raspy breathing and runny nose seem to be over. I think the Lysine is doing great.

Really glad to hear this. I was hoping you'd find a solution that you could do at home and avoid the vet visits. I hope the lysine proves to be just that.

Yes it was DR JANE - and I sent her home with two rolls of TP which she was surprised and happy to receive.

We may turn into a barter economy.

The thing about their pastrami is that it's sliced thicker in comparison with most others. This results in a different mouth-feel from what many of us are used to. But it's all good. And those latkes look great. I want some. Right now.

But my memory agrees with BK about the pickles being a little weird. I don't know why that would be, but I recall being a little disappointed in the half sours, normally my absolute favorite.

I'd never seen such thin and lean pastrami until I saw BK's photo.

The library closure has been extended until mid-April.

At my work, the Admin and the union are going to meet on Tuesday to decide if they're going to extend our library closures past March 28. I'm thinking it'll go longer, but will we still be able to get paid for all that time?? That's the question. $:-\$

I’m going to try to clean up some of the garage or do dishes, which have piled up.

I've done almost nothing this entire past week, except for watch some (but not a lot of) TV, and burn a couple of Blu-ray disks.

I need to clean up during this coming week. I have to go into work on Monday and maybe Tuesday, but I still have a lot of time off.

DR George, I loved the video of Stella and the leaves. My little jock Stella would love that, too, I suspect.

Thanks, Larry! Videos like that are always needed!

This is my last round of housecleaning today, so it's mostly picking up the cats' toys and vacuuming. I need a new vacuum.

What a coinkydink! My mom called me this morning, asking if I could come over and reassemble her vacuum.

Evidently, she took some of it apart to remove stuff that got caught and she can't figure out how to put it back together. Hopefully, I can help.

They’re hopeful we’ll be allowed to return within the week or that they’ll be able to set up remote access to our computer systems

That would be wonderful. They have blocked all entrance to the main office. Even if you left something important there, you can't get back on campus right now.

Fortunately, I can still get into my building if I need to. I will on Monday, but others will be there, too.

The attorneys have submitted paperwork requesting we be considered an essential business as our clients are all considered essential businesses and they cannot effectively conduct their business without our work but we don’t know when the paperwork will be reviewed and processed or whether we’ll receive approval

I hope you are considered essential. You certainly have a good argument for it.

Ditto and Ditto!!

How about some rebroadcasts of Broadway shows?

BroadwayHD is offering a free 7 day trial! And the Metropolitan Opera is offering free streaming of select operas for 23 hours each (1 specific opera each day), through the end of the month!

And now, I need to (finally) take a shower, get dressed, and hie myself to my parents' house and hopefully be able to reassemble my mom's vacuum. Pray for Rose~~mary~~marie's Baby!

Be back later!

Saturday afternoon greetings! My major achievement today was an epic dust abatement in our bedroom. I hope getting rid of the dust bunnies under our bed will help our allergies. We don't want to be caught coughing and sniffling.

PBS.org is showing some repeats for free, including the recent Little Women miniseries with Angela Lansbury. I think that one screens tomorrow.

I just spent the last 45 minutes cleaning up some stuff in the garage. I think I got another layer straightened out. A few more layers and it might be navigable again. I have a lot of books that I was going to donate that, well, need to be donated. But I don't know how to do that now. Maybe I can drop them off at a Goodwill donation spot.

Update on DoorDash and the Cheesecake Factory - not happening. No delivery times available EVER. You go through all the trouble of filling everything out, getting the APP for your phone, choosing endless delivery times only to keep reading "not available at that time" even going five days ahead, still the same, then seeing on the APP that there are no available delivery times ever. In other words, you can't order from there unless you want to pick it up, so why bother having the option to deliver if they can't. So, I went directly to Stanley's website - two options there for delivery - via "ChowNow" or DoorDash. Guess which I chose? Placing through Chow Now it went through instantly for an ASAP delivery and according to their website that should happen within the next half hour. No more DoorDash.

I hate to say it, but that might be a good way to experience Sanditon.
