What a crazy week! The time change, a full moon and then all the confusion about the coronavirus. My school is moving to remote classes but the libraries will be open. So you know the students will be coming in. Crazy.
But at least we have Rufus to look forward to. Can't wait to see the Pale Horse this weekend.

I agree! My son had to cancel plans for an NBA game. Hubby still considering his trip to Vegas. Schools will close here for 2 weeks. AND there is a shortage of toilet paper in the stores. WTH. Crazy!
I to will enjoy Pale Horse this weekend.
Have a safe weekend everyone!

Kygal, daughter went to a grocery store before work to pick up some flowers for a co-worker's birthday. she said they had ONE yellow onion left and no bananas. I mean, who stocks up on bananas? They go bad so fast.
Husband and daughter cancelled their plan to go to Wisconsin later this month. Not only worried for themselves, but also didn't want to risk taking an infection to SIL who is still battling cancer.

Yeah, I am getting ready to go to the store. Hope I don't have to fight someone for a roll of paper towels. Yes, strange about the bananas. People are very panicked right now.
Good decision to not be around your SIL. I don't worry about my health as much as my MIL and mother.

Daughter and I went shopping this morning and didn't have much trouble finding what we needed. Some areas, like the meat department, were poorly stocked but for the most part shelves looked normal. I think after the first wave of panic buying things have settled down. But l am glad to have an excuse to veg out and not doing anything for the rest of the weekend.

Some things were bare at the store. No bananas. I mostly got what we needed. Celebrated my brother and SILs birthday last night. Plan to stay in and chill today.

How bizarre that people are stocking up on bananas. Stayed in today and tomorrow we meet at work to plan how and who can work from home.

I thought that was odd. Of all things. Great you get the option to work from home. Really strange with no current sports on this weekend. The family wasn't sure what to do. LOL!
Stay well everyone!

Hi everyone.
Hope you are all bearing up given the current conditions.
Sorry, just don't get all this panic buying on certain products. Toilet rolls, bananas etc..... People be sensible, buy what you normally get and there should be enough to go round.
I know of at least one Rooftop member who is delighted that so much sport has been cancelled...LOL. She hates it. Sorry Kygal, not so good for the likes of you and your family - know you love your sport. Hey peoples, there's always Youtube for a quick fix.
Hope all of you are staying safe and that those of you who are working are still able to do so whether at home or not. My hubby is in an at risk group, due to age etc so will have to be at home most of the time. He was horrified when I mentioned that to keep busy he could always do some decorating!!...LOL.
Does anyone know if Rufus was in Australia when poor Tom Hanks and his wife were taken ill? If he was, I read that cast and crew were told to isolate and filming may have been suspended. Has anyone heard anything different? All the best to Mr & Mrs Hanks for a speedy recovery.
Stay safe everyone.
Happy St. Patrick's Day

Hi LTM, my husband is also in the high risk category. Over 65 and a diabetic, so I'm working from home as is daughter so as not to expose him inadvertently. We are both very lucky that we have jobs that can be done remotely. It was interesting today, she's set up at one end of the dining room table and I'm at the other. She gave me a hard time, said I was four minutes late to work this morning. Tomorrow I have an online staff meeting, it will be interesting to see if everyone can figure out how it works. My school has joined the ranks of schools who will do the rest of the semester online.
It also looks like my annual girls' beach week is going to be cancelled. We got the word today that North Carolina is closing the Outer Banks to non-residents.
The first reports about Tom Hanks and his wife didn't mention why he was in Australia, only saw yesterday that he was there filMing the Elvis movie. I would guess that Rufus is there and in isolation. I hope he and the rest of the cast are OK.

Since I work in healthcare...no working from home for me. Hoping everyone stays healthy! I haven't heard about Rufus. Maybe he wasn't in that part of the production. Would be hard but necessary to isolate.
I am surviving without sport but its hard on the rest of the fame. We have been watching more movies and reading.
Good idea to get some things done at home LTM. Keep hubby busy!
Stay well all!

Daughter has evicted me from our home office, aka the dining room. I had three online meetings and four or five phone calls. She said I'm much to noisy and distracting.
Kygal, stay safe, I'm sure you're being rushed off your feet what with everything that's going on.

LOL. You and daughter will have to work out your call time. My daughter says I talk to loud.
Thank you. It has been crazy at work. We are prepared as best we can be though. We are able to work from our office quite a bit but still have to be onsight.

First world problem - daughter wanted to work from her bedroom since she has a desk but our wifi signal is kinda weak. Went online with our internet provider to see about getting something to boost the signal and/or get faster wifi. Was on chat then on the phone with them for almost 4 hours, yes you read that right four hours. Daughter came downstairs when she heard me getting upset. She took over and then spent almost an hour on the phone herself. In the end our new extender will be here Monday.
