I think there are people who aren't being tested who are dying from the virus but are being classified as deaths from flu. Testing is very slow where I live. My best friend's fiance's friend is currently in the hospital & has been tested but is waiting for results. She recently had a baby & has been running a fever of 104. I hope she'll be OK. She's in her early 20s but medical treatment in this area is substandard so I worry about her.
All casinos closed here, but security personnel still have to work. My brother was told he has to report for work for an employee meeting at 10am (even though large gatherings are supposed to be prohibited). He was laughing about how dumb it is for them to have everyone gather up like that. Casino is giving employees PTO while things are shut down.
My friend will be getting 70% to 80% of his paycheck during the shutdown, which means he'll probably come up short on some of his bills. At least he'll have time to work on some home repairs though. He said he'll come by and help us with some cleaning & fixing stuff up as well.
I'm still feeling under the weather but had to make another trip to the store bc my brother has been consuming food in large quantities. He had about 7 corn dogs at once (and those are supposed to be for Mom). It's going to be tough to keep food stocked up when he eats so much. I will have to go back to the store again for another prescription. It wasn't ready to pick up when I got my last RX but it's ready now. I've been making sure to wash my hands and to cough in to my sleeve at the elbow.
Anyone noticed that houserepairtalk and plumbingforums are down? Or is it just me?
Was having trouble with my computer shutting off randomly. Earlier I turned it back on but it cut out as soon as I opened Chrome. I noticed 3 of the 4 fans inside aren't working so I need to order new ones. I also opened it up and cleaned out a bunch of cat fur, which I think helped. I do wonder if having too many chrome windows open was causing problems. It started after my Radeon graphics drivers were updated, but that could be a coincidence. I hope it's not my power supply because it's not going to be fun finding a good 1000watt 80 gold plus one for a decent price.
Speaking of price-- when I first looked at the shower Mom wants, it was around $500+ but then it went up to $600+ and now it's over $900+. I'm debating whether to just order it at that price or see if it goes down again, but I'm worried it will go up instead. I'm also noticing it's out of stock at HomeDepot which has more reliable shipping. I might see if I can go to Lowes and get it ordered in the store & have military discount applied. I've also seen some of the pieces for sale (the wall set & shower pan and stuff) but am trying to find the ones that are compatible AND in stock to order. It's the Sterling Store Plus shower with modular shelves but the shelf kit is out of stock and the right hand shower pan is out of stock-- BUT the shower pan that Sterling says will work is the Ensemble one. They have all sorts of different wall heights & multiple different kits so it's confusing. I wish they had it in stock. They have the back wall in stock at the local store, but they only have the 34" side walls and center drain shower pan. 34" is too wide to fit between the wall & the doorway.
I just got brain freeze.
Jon, I hope you enjoyed at least some of the cruise.
I hope everyone else is staying safe and well.
