Have any of you been laid off from work or working from home? Any issues trying to get stuff from WalMart or the grocery store? I'm trying to stay busy and spend time with my teens. Sad in a way but this virus outbreak has brought us closer together as a family unit. Spent most of the day outside enjoying the beautiful weather. Sunny, low 70s. I mowed for the second week in a row. Opened my crawl space vents. Sprayed round up all over the place to kill weeds. I spent 8 hours yesterday cleaning out my man cave and re-arranging furniture in there. Wondering when life will get back to normal. Or, when life will get back to the NEW normal. Sippin' on a glass of merlot and typing this to dudes I've never met. Strange world sometimes.

Third week now of working from home. We've been isolating as much as possible, mostly because we think we may have had this. I travelled to a conference at the end of February and did a client on-site. They are based overseas and actually closed their office the following week because of Covid concerns. Anyway, four days later my wife leaves town for work travel. The next night I get body aches, chills, dry cough. Few days after that I have breathing problems and soreness in my throat. Wife gets home, breathing gets worse (can't make it through a day without laying down and sleeping mid-afternoon). Bad headaches. A few days later she starts through the same symptom cycle, albeit milder. This is when Ohio starts taking action and we began to get nervous. Tried to get tested but couldn't. I have family that works at UC Health. Symptoms eventually passed, although I still have very mild breathing issues occasionally. Just not entirely at 100%. Not sure if we had it but if we didn't that's terrifying. Now just hoping we can ride this out like everyone else. Stay healthy. Stay safe. Love all of you misfits around here.
