Governor closed all sit-down in restaurants. You can still do take out, but I don’t know how long that will continue. They had tried a technique where you could eat inside, but only every other table could be occupied, but I guess they deemed that “too close contact.”
We had continued going out to lunch - maybe we were crazy, but we did. In our defense, so far, there have been no recorded instances of the virus in our County. That will soon change. They have made testing more readily available. People who are asymptomatic may test positive - skewing the “picture.” Of course, knowing you carry the virus will give you the info you need to avoid all contact with others.
Guess I’ll now need to find out if the oven works. We haven’t used it in years. Got in the habit of avoiding it all the months when the a/c was running and then extended it to winter months. Cooking is something neither of us have ever liked, but takeout and delivery of readymade food just doesn’t work. Most meals don’t travel well.
So far, the grocery stores have not been able to keep up the supply of fresh meat. It will be an even bigger problem now. You can’t just flip a switch and increase meat supplies, you need to start at the source - more cattle.
All this makes me so sad. Not for us, but for all the small business owners who will lose their restaurants and all the staff who will no longer have incomes. The good news - they will have time to get closer to their kids. What I’d give to revisit those fun times with my kids. The bad news - the stress over financial issues will make home life very tense. It’s such a “no-win” situation.
Enough whining. Guess I’d better order that new computer - need to get back to scrapping to fill my days. Great time for my Mac to die. Doing everything on my iPad is getting “old”. However, I don’t quite know why I haven’t yet ordered my new machine. My Mac died a couple of weeks ago. Power button broke. I plan on removing the old hard drive and plugging it into new machine to get stuff off of it that wasn’t backed up. We’ll see how that goes. Seems Macs are not easy to take apart.
