Glad for health reasons that they closed our school, but

I'm an hourly wage earner, not a tenured teacher. Hubby is self-employed. We live paycheck-to-paycheck and have no savings. I have no idea how we are going to do this. We have never deferred a mortgage payment before, but my job covers it, so we have that option, at least.

On the plus side, we have more than a week's worth of food in the pantry and freezer, and hubby and ElderGreenKid will be back shortly from clearing out his dorm room. At least I will have all my people where I can keep an eye on them.

I hate that people are going to needlessly die because of MAGATS, Putin, and his demented orange puppet.
