Update: my school just went to online classes for the next month.
I had a dental appointment this morning. The hygienist wore a mask and gloves so I’m not worried. I just made sure not to touch anything (I’ve been carrying paper towels to open doors), spritzed with hand sanitizer, and washed my hands thoroughly when I got home. And the whole time I was driving there and back, I was saying to myself, “Don’t touch your face, don’t touch your face, don’t touch your face.If I cancel my doctor and dentist appointment, when should I reschedule them for? April or May? How long is this Corona Virus going to last? I need to call soon, doctor is 17th, dentist is 25th.
Yah, we still have to make our contribution as well... I'm sitting here thinking, how long can I hold out before I have to dump my hard earned cash into this other pile of @#!$I've just increased my contribution a bit for my next pay period. So wont be in effect until end of this month. It should be worse by then I'm guessing.
I went to a few different grocery stores today, shopping for my meats to make my pet food; Asian Market, Mexican Market, Butcher, Costco... I took a cue from my old restaurant days, soaked a cloth with soapy bleach water, wrung it out, and carried it in a ziplock baggie in my purse. I used it to wipe the carts and my hands regularly. Still made me double take when I heard someone coughing in the next aisle over at Costco. Could have been allergies, the pollen count is very high, and my hubby is sniffling because of it.(I’ve been carrying paper towels to open doors), spritzed with hand sanitizer, and washed my hands thoroughly when I got home.

I always have a lot of cat food on hand. It's nice to have one less thing to worry about and take up space in my head.You guys think this could be bad enough that we should buy stuff for our pets? I home cook for my cats. Just need ustew and chicken.
I don't want to give into panic. But do want to make sure essentials don't run out. I don't think stores will close. But it feels so uncertain.
I guess I can grind up extra chickenI always have a lot of cat food on hand. It's nice to have one less thing to worry about and take up space in my head.![]()
Same. Thanks to trying to minimize shipping costs per pound I had ordered a lot of Turkey and rabbit from Hare Today previously. Stocked up on boneless chicken thighs from costco. Have alnutrin, individual supplements and eggshell calcium on hand!I guess I can grind up extra chicken
Recently did enough for 2 months, but i can make more if anything. Might buy more ustew just in case. Smaller businesses can be affected as we've seen.![]()
I think it is prudent for all of us to stock up for our pets' needs, in case movement is restricted to control virus spread. I think we can expect that efforts will be made to provide food for people who are quarantined or in a "containment zone" -- for example I was just reading about how the National Guard is delivering groceries to people in the "containment zone" in New Rochelle -- but this wouldn't necessarily include food for pets.You guys think this could be bad enough that we should buy stuff for our pets?
