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.

We are doing the same here . I have been trying to cut back on the news and either read or watch movies or paint.

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.

Heehee - same here. I drink the local water, always have.

Is anyone reading an interesting book?

Hilary Mantel (the author of Wolf Hall) just released Volume III in her series about Thomas Cromwell: "The Mirror and the Light." (Spoiler alert: things don't go well for Thomas Cromwell!)

I read Wolf Hall years ago, and also saw the series when it was televised, but I had never read volume II, "Bring Up The Bodies." So I'm in the midst of that one now. (Yet another spoiler alert: things don't go well for Anne Boleyn!) When I'm done, I'll get Volume III. 764 pages on Kindle, so it won't be a rush-through.

Nothing like a big hefty dose of historical fiction to take my mind off obsessively rethinking the contents of my pantry shelves! :hrmm:
