Doing well here. (I had a year of practice recouping from knee replacement...) Three of us here, third being 85 yo MIL. Well provisioned. Last trip out to store was 0530 this morning. Market Basket already had line of at least 25 waiting to get in, as they instituted maximum number of shoppers in stores today. And the line was not practicing proper distancing... So she went to Shaws, which cost us probably an extra $30.00.

Never had so much packed into fridge and freezer. We are good if we couldn't go again for quite a while. Two weeks from now, the only things we will likely be needing are cleaning wipes and Lysol spray. We are already out of the Lysol I am told...

I have materials at a house I take care of for snowbirds, who are still down south. All exterior trim replacement. Don't have great weather for it, and really, I am not that keen on being seen doing it, given all the idiots out walking in packs... I am a rule follower and think everyone should stay at home. Including construction.

I have gone back to my previous life in the financial world and been trading the market. Been doing better than a days pay, so that has been taking up most of my time. But opportunities are getting thin from my point of view, and I will go to the sidelines after I unwind a gold position.

There is PLENTY for me to do here without leaving the property. I did pick up a new box spring yesterday. Set up a twin bed in my office as an isolation room for me should it come to that
