Hi Rory! *HUGS*

How are things going in your neck of the woods?  I wish things would get better soon, but its not looking that way right now.

Hi Zoey,

We are doing ok thanks. There is a lockdown here and we were all a bit ill so we haven't been out of the house in over two weeks. We are better now though. :)

My daughter enjoys freeform rp and has now learned to be a GM. :) In her first game as GM, people were being scared by scary ghosts, which we then had to scare away with a mirror.

I hope that you are keeping yourself sane, it must be hard when nothing is being done to stop it.

*Hugs*

Aww, that is so awesome! Another generation of RPG player ^_^

People here are just dumb, unfortunately.  I really think we need to do a complete lock down of everything for 2-3 weeks and let it clear.

Part of what aggravates me right now, is that my store is an age restricted (21+ to enter) tobacco store that sells alcohol as well, but we're considered a convenience store and essential business.  Everything we sell in our store can be bought at the grocery stores and pharmacy as well.  We do not need to be open right now.  But each day I expose myself to the public Im risking my family's health, especially my elderly mother.  Now we're hearing it could last as long as August. :(

Alcohol and tobacco charge the HIGHEST taxes

So of course you essential

I'm so happy to hear about your brilliant daughter, Rory!  I'm very impressed


People aren't too bright here as well.  Lots of masks, but lots of people out and about as well.
We have several houses on our street where college students live, and I've noticed that there are a lot more cars on the street outside their houses.
I'm worried that they are having a "screw the flu" party or something

I agree Rory way to go on raising a role player ! and GM !

With the college 5 minutes away here, there's been some parties here too.  People are dumb.

Im glad I have the smart ones for friends ^_^

Rory is even EXTRA smart

Lots of younger people aren't taking this seriously, and it shows.

And the whole town just lost power. Yay.

We had that happen too.

Everyone is home using power instead of concentrated at work.
Was down a while.

We've been holding up mostly okay.  Though two of our favorite restaurants have closed down, possibly forever.   It's very depressing.

We're having a snow storm tonight and wind is kinda strong, but its really not as bad as a normal winter storm. Im a little surprised we lost power.

Many businesses have closed here as well. Im not sure who's going to be able to reopen or not though.

I'm not sure if severe snow makes this time better or worse.  It's certainly easier to social distance when you don't want to leave your house anyway.

Its been coming down since about 2 pm, and is supposed to die down tomorrow afternoon.  Ugh.  I almost wish it would snow for a couple weeks straight, keeping people inside and out of the public. Might give us a chance against the virus.

It's ironic that people might be safer from Covid 19 because of cabin fever

I know I'd rather be locked down for a couple weeks right now.

I'm embarrassed to admit that, as much as an introvert as I think I am, I look forward to heading out to run errands and getting take out.

Im kinda looking forward to going to the park at this point, but Im really really sick of people too.  I am grateful that most of the places here are doing delivery still.

We did take out for dinner tonight.  I'm telling myself that it was to support the local economy, not because I was feeling too lazy to cook.

Im going with both lol

*laughs*   I can get behind that.

^_^  lol

I need to stay home for all my days off, and cook at home, but I can't seem to do it.

Thanks everyone. ^_^

I am lucky to have a daughter who likes using her imagination. I hope that my youngest will also be like that. :)

I am sorry to hear about the power cuts. Good luck with everything.

*Hugs All*
