Hi All. Just checking in here. I’ve been absent for a few days. I feel anxious and worried. We’ve been practicing social distancing since last Thursday, and now I’m even keeping my daughter home from daycare. I don’t want my husband to go to work but he has to visit a construction site tomorrow morning. He told me he’ll stay 6 ft away from other people. We’re not hoarding but trying to have a little canned food, stuff for the baby, frozen food, and paper products. I’m offering to people in my network who are in need as well. I hope that everyone around the world stays safe.

On a better note, Nordstrom in the US had 10% off everything, including Chanel, for yesterday only. I got the black Chanel combat boots but my adjustable strap mini bag is sold out and waitlisted everywhere. My H SA is texting me quite a bit right now. I bought one scarf and one lipstick and I don’t even want to go to the store to pick them up. I’m having her ship them.

I’m grateful to have a paying job right now. I’m grateful my husband also has one. I’m trying to support the community by getting food delivery (left at the door), buying some items from local stores, and I’ll donate money to our local food bank this week. I canceled a haircut and manicure for this weekend/week and offered to pay them ahead for their services but they both declined. I asked our new housekeeper (finally found someone to help us clean since I started work recently) to not come for the time being but I will continue to pay her.

I am fearful for my parents with their ages and pre-existing conditions. It’s not yet “bad” where they are so I had to essentially scare them with the facts of this thing and death rates. They’ve promised they’ll stay in but my Dad keeps making jokes about needing to go out. It’s truly adding to my stress. I felt anxious and depressed yesterday and I even cried. Not panicking but feeling heavy from what our country, and the world, is facing. I’ve decided to be off social media a tiny bit more and to read. I started Solve for Happy by Mo Gawdat, because it was in my bedside table.

Stay well everyone. And keep posting pictures and life updates here! For pinks, I have my Rose Pourpre ostrich Kelly 28, from my avatar. For blues, I have my blue hydra Kelly 28 Chevre special order. Happy to post pics later if anyone is interested. Thinking of you all.

Thinking of you and yours. I feel very much the same and am quite tearful too. It’s growing all the time and clearly just the beginning. No official social distancing yet but everything is cancelled and people are doing it anyway in hope to stay well.

Staying off too much SM and watching the news sensible. Panic is spreading fast. Not good for mental health at all!
 
And my pink bags. I'm sure you've seen them before.

These are all gorgeous! Totally love your cute quilted coach bag! It’s incredible :-). Think I’d really use the Emery though.
 
They haven't used chlorine in water in California in at least 20 years. I think the water tastes great. People have a perception that bottled water is cleaner although that isn't true. For one thing, bottled water absorbs chemicals from the plastic bottle.
Agreed! I have a pitcher that filters water (Mavea… same thing as Brita, but I prefer the system) and that's what I use for drinking. If I need to have water with me, I have a plastic bottle that I fill. It holds 32 ounces. More than enough for a day out. But when I'm at a restaurant, I just ask for "city water" and as far as I'm concerned, it tastes perfectly fine.
