But I always knew that if I wanted to, I could get out and do things. This definitely feels different. It's only Day 2. Ugh.

I really wish I had the will power to consume it like a normal human. It's just that when I first get home from the store with it, it's softened to the perfect consistency, so I have a big bowl. I know I'm going to be mad at myself later, but I still do it.

Finished TV watching as I'm tired of hearing about the coronavirus. Newscasters keep repeating, so I'm more than well informed.

Catching up on stuff here on DU.

About to get back to my book.

Making homemade pizza later on! YUMMY! May even crack open a beer, as beer and pizza are a winning combination!

Another nurse friend of mine wants to hang out. But she is working in a hospital with a few confirmed cases of the Coronavirus so I'm gonna take a pass.

My father spent his final days in hospice, dying of pancreatic cancer. The nurses there made him comfortable, and his final hours were pain-free.

My father and I had our problems, but I'm glad people in your profession were there for him.

I'll keep showing up at the clinic until this thing blows over or I get sick myself, whichever comes first.
