When the crazy first blew up I ended up working 60 hours that week. Which is insane. Now I'm down to about 45ish hours which still isn't normal (I usually just do a solid 40) but closer to normal LOL. I'm tired and I'm being very careful since I take care of my dad and he's 73.
Ironically this has helped drive me back to fanfic as stress tends to do with me LOL.

Thank you for your hard work through this! Hang in there! Have things calmed down since the stay-at-home orders started? Are people in Vegas following directions? Do you have toilet paper in stock? LOL
I was so happy to see your new story posted! Fanfic is a great distraction from all this. I think this hobby is part of the reason I seem to be having a much easier time coping with quarantine than a lot of my "real life" friends. I'm a homebody anyway, so that helps, but I just see this as more reading and writing time and a valid excuse to be lazy! I hate the fact that it's due to a pandemic, but I'm kinda loving working from home.
Mistral:
My little city is on full lockdown right now the prime minister just declare this morning!

Things are calmer since the shutdown. But that's compared to the crazy. So it's still wild for this time of year. Vegas from what I've seen is following the order, minus the Strip Club Little Darling that got nailed for their drive thru stip show lmao. The cops are shutting down businesses that don't comply and I got my essential letter today because they're enforcing it for citizens to stay home. Vegas is handling it better than the rural parts which is typical. We could've easily become NYC but our governor was on the ball and shut us down early.
Fanfic is a good sanctuary right now. There's a lot in these times I can use to fuel my new story and writing has always been my escape in hard times. No need for that to change now.

I'm glad things have calmed down a bit. Hopefully the stay at home order will help. I think our governor has done a good job taking it seriously and handling it, too - not that he had much choice because Chicago seems to be one of the epicenters for the virus. It's all radiating from there. We have a few cases in my area, but it's not spreading the way it is up around Chicago. Makes sense, with as heavily populated as it is there compared to here. All the more reason to stay away from people!
There was a story in the local news last week about an adult movie store that got busted for offering curbside pick-up of porn LOL. I get supporting small businesses, but sorry bro. People who consider that "essential" can get it online.

I’m glad things are settling down for you as well, Rose. Grocery shopping is ridiculous still. No one has toilet paper and there are no available pick ups or deliveries from the grocery stores which sucks because My sister and I are both not feeling great so we can’t leave. I couldn’t grocery shop anyway with things the way they are. It would be nice if they gave people Who are handicapped their own hours as well. Although I hear that it’s crazy during senior shop times as well!
We’ve been sheltering in place for quite awhile now here in NY. We think Cuomo is going to decide that schools will remain closed for the rest of the year. We have 500 confirmed cases in The county were I live with 9 deaths. It’s annoying to see all the people ignoring the shelter in place rules. They are now going to ticket people just hanging out.
