Looked up last night and the night before to watch ISS pass over. Both passes approaching 90 degrees.

Things are shut down here. Watching old movies and drinking coffee. Even the police scanner is really quiet.
New Zealand shut down tomorrow for 4 weeks except essential services
What to do with everything shut?
What surprises me Takeaway operations must shut. Last night we ordered pizzas over the puter paying with bank card. Man dropped everything off at the steps with no contact with anybody. Not allowed any more
We still have 8 days which we have to stay home due to our trip to Australia
Most of our cases are due to overseas travel with just two people which cant be tied into overseas travel

I'm just thinking
...we're all going to die. ...not today, but some day 5, 10, 20 years or so. For now we just have to deal with the mess. Hopefully we will find out on a few weeks if this pita social distancing works.
Called my aunt this morning. She lives in Arizona in a retirement facility. She loves socializing, watching plays, concerts etc .
She's on lockdown...sort of. She's got a fantastic attitude, so she'll be fine. They are asking people to stay home.
Dinners will now need served on n rooms instead of at the dining room. Place she is at has 700 residents.

My brother didn't even thank me for cleaning the kitchen & claimed he'd planned to do it but I beat him to it. Yeah, right. And I just saw a pig flying by with pegasus wings.
My mother didn't even notice that I'd cleaned up. She kept asking my brother if he'd cleaned and when he was going to clean. I don't know how she didn't notice, but she's always been the type to notice what hasn't been done. I could have everything else spotless and have one little stain & she'd focus on that.
Brother has already junked up the sink & counter. I'm too tired & feeling cruddy to mess with it just yet.
It's been raining so it makes me sleepy & internet kept going out so I ended up playing Sims4 most of the day.
Governor has ordered people to stay inside for the most part unless it's for something essential. My friend's grandfather stopped going out as much but he found a new way to harass my friend. My friend couldn't answer bc his phone battery died or he was busy working on stuff but the grandfather wouldn't stop calling. Because my friend wasn't answering, the geezer called the cops & sent them out to order my friend to call him back. Sent them 3x already (that I know of). I think it's wasting police time and it should constitute harassment. My friend doesn't need the aggravation. The old man needs to hire someone to look after him and leave my friend alone.
Other than feeling bleh from allergies, we're doing ok. Brother has swollen tonsils & a sore throat. Mom has allergies too but no fever & she's feeling ok. I've got a mild sinus headache so I'll probably have to get some sinus allergy meds next time I hit the store.
Can't seem to find the dog food my dogs eat in stock anywhere so that is frustrating. I had to get a different kind & I hope they are ok with it.

When it rains it pours. I got shoulder surgery scheduled for April 7, still going ????, back surgery is on hold until healed up from the shoulder, and now today with my eye exam I found out I have a catarack that is ready to be removed, scheduled for My 14th. This getting old **** really really sucks. Then on top of it my wifes pacemaker battery is starting to get low and that will have to be replced, over night in the hospital, not a good time for that.
I am still waiting to see a cardiac doctor. Supposed to see him April 7. Been waiting a couple weeks already.
Our local Carpet One dealer closed it's doors today. Governoris wants all 'non essential' businesses to shutter their doors. Hotel and motel visitors and tourists have been told to go back where they came from.
Driving through town tonight, there isn't a business open, nor a car parked on the street... Highway 101 is the street through town.

Surgery sounds scary with the virus spreading like it is. Dentists here shut down.
...you wouldn't want a dentist working on your shoulder anyway.
Today is the 11th anniversary of my father's death so it's been a bit emotional for me. It's not helping the mucus build up from what I hope is allergies or just a cold. Been light-headed, tired, coughing, etc. No fever, but I feel like garbage. I don't spend much time around people so I'm hoping I didn't pick up a virus from Walmart. There have now been 4 confirmed cases if Covid-19 in my town. Two were inmates from the local federal prison. That means it's at the local hospital now & those people do not know how to quarantine or even keep the place cleaned properly to begin with.
One of my unlucky friends (the one who had his house burn down just before Xmas) jut found out that his exgf (and mother of his children) tested positive for Covid-19. Fortunately, he has the kids but I hope they aren't carrying it. My friend's current girlfriend is in very poor health already. They are staying at my best friend's house right now & his fiance is a hypochondriac so she would have a panic attack about it. She's already stressed out over having people in her home who are causing drama.
Argued with Mom about her wanting me to go to the store twice this week instead of letting me make 1 trip. She forgot to tell me before I went to the store last time that she had an RX to pick up and now she has another one that is ready. She was insisting that I had to go today but my RX won't be ready until tomorrow so I told her it should wait. She had a bit of a tantrum over it, but had no logical reason for me to make 2 trips.
I was reading a post from a pregnant woman who tested positive for Covid-19. She never developed a fever. She reported the symptoms over the week and how she felt better then worse then better then worse & they kept refusing to test her and finally she was worse & they tested her (only tested her bc of her pregnancy and to rule it out).
Hoping I'll be feeling better tomorrow & have some energy. I've been amused by some of my sister's posts at least. She's working from home so she is referring to her cats as her co-workers & posts pics of them with comments like "My co-worker didn't want to drink her own water so she stuck her face in my cup to drink mine" with a pic of her cat drinking her water. Another was about her co-worker wanting to know when lunch was with a pic of her cat on the bar chair looking at the kitchen island. One of her posts was about wearing two different sets of pajamas (one for night and one for work) so one of my aunts piped in that out grandmother used to wear her pajamas all day and then change into regular clothes just before grandpa got home from work. I can picture her doing that so it made me smile.
I have some friends who are stir crazy about having to stay in and not socialize in groups. It makes me glad I've always been somewhat of a homebody & don't like to be in large groups & don't feel a constant need to be around people. I'm happy in my room with my cats. I can get my socializing needs taken care of via internet & that's how it's been for many years. I'm ok with a gathering from time to time, but they always made me feel drained. The biggest problem I'm having with all this virus stuff is that stuff I need to buy is out of stock.

My shoulder surgery is cancelled due to the lock down-****!! I had it all figured out so I could be doing things this summer. Now I'll wait until fall is the plan now. So it is the cataract surgery in May to get past.
Just got this from FloorNZ which makes it pretty clear we arent essential
We can tell you quite clearly selling flooring or the laying of, is not classed as an essential service. As an industry we must all do our bit in this time of crisis and I am sure none of us want to be headline news because we thought this lockdown did not apply to us. The lockdown is designed to increase our nation’s ability to fight and stamp out the COVID-19 virus. It is important that all of us play our part in respecting the lockdown if the disease is to be defeated. Together we can minimise the effect, stay safe, adhere to the government instructions and see you on the other side.
The other 3 flooring shops are open. The closure was mainly intended for barber shops hair salons gyms in places like that where people are in close proximity to each other. Flooring retailers, tho non essential do not have close contact like those places. Seems like owners disgresion is the true rule right now.
Grocery stores remain open and they might have 50 to 100 people in the store at the same time yet a flooring retailer might have a daily head count of 20 to 30 people per day... totally different.

Hate me Daris, but you're better off waiting till this blows over.
As of midnight tonight we are not allowed to drive anywhere not even to beach or park or anything. Can walk around the block though
Only allowed to go a shop to get food
We have to stay where we are at the moment, cant split the time between our house and the holiday home, if I had one
Got to stay here as Police and Army will be stopping people asking where they are going
Flooring stores here are closed. also our supply house. The store owners are complaining that the big box store,HD and others can remain open as they sell flooring, mattresses and other goods that those stores sell. I guess I can't blame them for that.
Waiting to see if the appt. with my heart doctor gets cancelled.
My eye doctor for my glaucoma told me to stay home until this virus blows over.
I have yet to see a cardiac doctor. The hospital did not have one.
