Wow. So much changes so quickly. We are officially "shelter in place" as of... either midnight last night or tonight. Zs work is, somehow, still considered essential, so he will still be in the back brewing. but they also have a lot if uncertainty about if restaurants get shut down. beer could go bad. the yeast could die. the ales could go to shit. the lagers would be okay. I don't know. He's super testy, and feeling insecure. I, obviously cant fix that because thats just the way the world is right now. We've been a little short with each other but we're immediately quick to say that it isnt the other, just the fact that things are scary right now.
Also: id like to give a personal FUCK YOU to the GOP for thinking that people should die so the ~economy~ survives. fuck an economy. fuck the stock market. fuck your monopoly money. human lives dont have a price.
Oh, the virgin islands are officially closed to tourism. A TSA agent tested positive for coronavirus. Shane flew through that airport last sunday. Its been over a week an none of us have symptoms (we picked up Shane and he stayed with us the night) so hopefully he, and we, got lucky. I just worry about Zs parents on the islands. They were talking about coming back to the states, but the only travel nursing jobs mom can find are in CA, WA, or NY and we are all just like "NOOOOOOOO no no no". They don't really want to stay there, but it may be the safest place for them. Still, such a bummer. And scary.
Sunday night I almost felt like I was settling into quarantine life. but as it keeps spreading and as things keep getting more and more locked down, i am just in more and more of a panic. my anxiety is through the roof. Still, I am happy to have animal crossing as a distraction. And the kitties. Snowball is starting to settle in more in the front room. And she even sniffed Blue of her own free will. She has a p bad cough, but its not bad enough to go to the vet rn. If it becomes daily, that may change, but until then, I won't worry too much about it. Blue has to get reweighed in a few weeks anyway. He, sadly, keeps losing weight and man I cannot lose another cat.
I sort of wish i could have a day off. im grateful im still working, but all i can do is panic the whole time. id like a day to relax but relaxation doesn't exist anymore. Im slowly getting through my quarantine chore of weeding the plants. idk. who cares. everything sucks? everything is scary. try to just take one step at a time.
these are weird, uncertain times.

Plus some of the distilleries have converted to making hand sanitizer and giving it free to hospitals, which is so beautiful that it makes me cry.
I hope Blue's okay. And glad Snowball is settling in.

and i heard about distilleries making hand sanitizer. i remember when auatin was under a boil advisory, breweries were boiling water and giving it away for free since they can boil on such large scales. its cool to see humans helping each other. it makes me feel like maybe we'll get through all this
