Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
Oh, we had such a bad storm blow through on Sunday. 50 mph winds, heavy downpours that pounded the windows.
Some areas lost power. My area did not, but the lights did flicker a few times.
Work is chugging along, and I'm keeping busy with it, so that's a good thing.
Now that the weather is getting colder, getting together outdoors is really going to stop. I'm assuming I won't see many friends until April or so of next year.

That's a sad thing about this fall. Hardly anyone to enjoy it with. It's 73 degrees here today so I'm spending most of my time outside. I could even sit outside at a resaturant, but all of them have switched to takeout-delivery only. :'(

Everyone here is dreading the precautions of winter. A nice day here at this point would be above 50, and even those are rare, so outdoor gatherings are nearly out of the question. For at least the next three to four months.
Except, of course, for those damn protests, which I will probably have to cover even on days that (unlike all the other obnoxious protests) aren't delightfully sunny and warm Saturday afternoons.

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
Happy Hump Day!
Work went well today, but about an hour before I could sign off for the day (4:00) a news update interrupted the regular broadcast to announce that NYC schools are shutting down due to the virus.
While I'm not one to panic shop, this did make me think that perhaps other shut downs would happen, and there would be a run on the stores again. I had given up eating frozen prepared meals, because of the high sodium content. However, possible rushes on the stores and shut downs could make fresh food hard to come by, so I went out today at 5:00, after I shut down, and ran to the store to stock up on some frozen meats.
I didn't get frozen meals, I did get some frozen poultry, meats, seafood, and a few other things to keep me stocked up in case I can't get fresh stuff. Of course, I'll still try to get fresh stuff to eat, as that's the best, but now my fridge is stocked and my shopping orders can be smaller now.
I didn't need to get anything the panic shoppers stocked up on last time, as I beat them to the punch. :laugh: I didn't hoard anything, but since I live alone, most things last a while for me. I have enough soap, paper towels, toilet paper, meds, toothpaste, mouth wash and other things to see me through, so I'm fine. I left those for other shoppers who may need them.
The only thing I'll need to get for Thanksgiving is garlic and milk, so I can hold off on those for now.

The temps here are going to put a stop to outdoor gatherings soon. Overnight temps for Tues and Weds were below freezing. Tomorrow's will be just above freezing. Friday and Saturday we're back up to the 50 range during the day.
