caitri It's been astonishingly long, though I still think I am driving myself less stir-crazy than others. It didn't help that most of yesterday was spent on tornado watch, though thankfully that came to naught.
Scott is being very paranoid about the covid (justifiably so per the news), and says he wants to wait another month and do a big shopping run then. I pointed out that it's predicted in a month's time our state will be at its peak case load, and since the shops are discouraging buying a lot perhaps it would make more sense to use instacart and amazon pantry in tandem. Well, we'll see what happens. In the meantime I ordered Girl Scout cookies online which will be sent to us by mail, because sometimes it's the Little Things That Get You Through. (He's also very paranoid about the mail and I told him the WaPo said the virus's half-life on mail was negligible. I'm wondering if he'd feel better if we identified a quarantine area in the garage or something to put mail etc. in for a bit or some such.
Honestly, reality check: Is he being too paranoid or am I being too casual?? I honestly don't know.

*hugs you a lot*
