A certain burger MS client has been BLOWING UP my phone the last few days. Is now the time to demand a much bigger bonus? I think so. But will they pay? So far not quite what I am asking....

When I was a little girl, I remember my grandma telling me stories from her childhood. One of them was having an epidemic (measles? should have paid better attention) requiring isolation. If the doctor visited your house and determined you had it, he would nail a big "Quarantine " sign on the front door. No one could go in or out until you were cleared. It seemed so Little House on the Prairie to me. Yet here we are... hunkering down with all the toilet paper.

The economy's taking a hit in Colorado.... Speaking to one of the bartenders I frequent at.... At a place where she typically sees $2k in revenue for just her shift, revenue's DROPPED to around $300 out here for an ENTIRE shift. In other words, many of these places are operating in the red staying open. So I don't blame when a business shuts down and closes during this crisis.

Home now with three kids, the youngest of whom is immunocompromised. I guess I will stay the course of the school outage. I was looking forward to end-of-month bonuses but we will live. was just hired by the census,and that does not sound like a good idea right now.

I certainly wish my state would move on to close bars and make restaurants take out or delivery only. With the closing of Disney combined with Spring Break combined with school closures we appear to have a rapidly growing population of beach going party folk who either don't understand or don't care about personal or community risk.

I'm hoping for the best but I'm realistically expecting a major or even total loss of mystery shopping income for weeks or even months. If testing on a large scale shows even a moderate infection rate, I expect brick-and-mortor retail to significantly curtail activities, causing MS programs to be put on hold. Not sure what I'll do. Thinking about maybe raising chickens in the back yard. At least I'll have eggs.

I've been in two grocery stores over the last two days and was appalled that neither of them had the sanitizing wipes by the cart area. Normally I'm not paranoid about touching cart handles, except in the middle of flu season, but I was amazed that there were no wipes or sanitizer pump machines at the store entrances. And yet both of these places have put out emails stating how conscientious they're being.
I need to carry my hand sanitizer in my handbag from now on. I keep it in the car, but no more! And fortunately I still have some left!

That's a very good point. On my end, I have a large back log of crap to get done, but something that's been weighing over my head is to really use this time to dig into more investing opportunities and a LOT more professional development with the time that'll begin to slowly free up as a result of this crisis. I highly suggest everyone else does the same too.
