Fine up here. Although I am beginning to woory about DD and social isolation. She is getting her learning done.

My office building is closed indefinitely now but of course we are working from home with a few exceptions.

Glad to see the market improving.

The boys miss school. They are getting their learning done as well, but miss the interaction. They had a zoom meeting yesterday and will have another one shortly so they are able to at least see and talk to their friends remotely.

I've been teleworking for over a year now so it's not much different for me other than one of my contractors wants to discuss the impact COVID-19 flex schedules is having on their company. I suspect they want to charge more. For what, who knows.

I got a little nervous last night when my mom said she and my father were experiencing stomach issues. They took something for it last night and today are back to normal.

 The cost of sending equipment to employees to work from home is staggering. That is probably the reason.

DD16 is missing school. Jojo is stressed but doesn't miss school.

Our county issued a shelter in place order last night. Our probate judge is confirmed with C-19 and in the hospital.

 I'm not sure that is the reason.  Most of my contractors are performing essential work and have to go in, but are doing it in shifts to limit number of people in at one time.

For security reasons, we supply the equipment for those teleworking.

The guidelines say no more than 10 in any situation.

I think I'd contact a parent of one of you kids friends, find out if they have any possible connections to anyone sick. Find a responsible and reasonal friend your child can have over. 

And go outside. We are going outside everyday. 

 

We have sunshine!

my car is dead. It is now officially worth -$4000. And I have to have it towed from the repair guy to the junk yard because it's not driveable. Great.

 Not here.  Well, we have sunshine and the boys go out, but we cannot have friends over.  That defeats the purpose of social distancing.  The "no more than 10" applies to non essential stores or work meetings, and people are supposed to remain 6 feet apart.  It's hard to play basketball on the driveway and still remain the required distance.  Plus, they all touch the ball so.....

The limit for gatherings not in your home or business in SC is THREE!! So you can’t even go for a walk with a few friends.

So turns out my kids have a half brother. He's about 19, his name is Michael. He found his dad on Facebook, because Frank couldn't be a father to him, either. Frank told him about my kids. He then found Caitlyn on Facebook.

Caitlyn is understandable torn. Jesse and Aaron don't know yet.

I told Caitlyn, and I'll tell the boys the same thing, it's up to them if they want to meet the half brother. I'll support whatever decision they make. But just be careful.

 Call a charity, they will do the towing at no charge.  You just sign off ownership.
