too, have a whole slew of receipts (1971 to the present) that I need to go through and burn/shred, now that I sold the house that I originally kept the receipts for, as it turned out, I didn't really need them too much
(figures, doesn't it?).

I really would rather have a huge bonfire and burn the receipts, but I haven't been out to the country (the Ozarks), and thus, haven't had a chance to do any burning. The bonfire is much easier to do then going through every receipt.

being dealt with and thus it is incumbent on all of us to brush and floss as well as possible to prevent issues.

I was past due in getting a routine check anyway, so anything I can do to ward off problems, I will--even avoiding sugar. (sigh.... )

It’s shameful to admit, but I genuinely envy people on lockdown. I’d be making more money on unemployment (with the fed bump, anyway) while sitting around playing games in my sweatpants than I currently am working all day in and out of grocery stores exposing myself to the virus.

I’m truly sorry you have to go to work in such a high-stress environment every day. From what I’ve read, a lot of people are taking their frustrations out on grocery store employees instead of giving you the respect and appreciation you deserve even more than usual. It must be so awful for you. I hope other people are kind enough and grateful enough to take away at least a little bit of that sting.

So, it's business as usual for me, just more germaphobic than I used to be. I've been training myself for years not to touch my face since I've been obsessed with not getting the flu whereas I seemed to be a virus magnet previously.

Two teenagers at home all day go through an epic amount of TP. And snacks. And bread (god, they just inhale bread!)

Been working my way through my old reading list from grad school (History).

In the evening I have been slowly working my way through a couple of cases of Hofbräu Hefe Weizen.
