iconic arenas shuttered

Not sure that's still the case after the last order. This seems to be the latest but maybe there are exceptions that don't show up here. https://covid19.ca.gov/stay-home-except-for-essential-needs/ Also, many California counties have even stricter orders. You can probably google your county to see. There is no doubt that part of the idea of all stay home orders is to take all possible precautions with regard to anyone in any higher risk category, no matter what the setting.

Everyone's missing casual shopping

That's insane. Isn't all of California under a stay at home order? That means no visiting other people's houses, so why is he there in the first place? If he goes to the dollar store for grins then he probably goes anywhere else that will let him in, too. Definitely not what you need around.

Gather resources and share, people helps

forgo unhealthy lunch

You stay safe, Saz. I'm off to walk my new foster dog, and thank goodness that's still safe to do.

That does it, I'm moving to Liverpool. Very glad you've got some supplies (and I love the new look and "accessories")

The problem, at least here, is that many needed supplies are never available for delivery right now, so you have to go to the store yourself (and right at opening time) to have a chance to find some necessary items. Unfortunately, since many people are hoarding, the rest of us are unable to buy enough to avoid semi-frequent future trips to the store since the amount you can buy is now very limited on cleaning and disinfecting supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.

So many shoppers wandering around stock

Great job on day 2, Irene, and the days will start to pass a little faster soon. Wait...no alcohol? When our mayor first issued a citywide lock-down to go into effect the following day, he initially didn't include liquor stores as essential businesses. Within 15 minutes of the announcement there were lines around the block waiting to get into area liquors stores, and a couple of hours later liquor stores (and marijuana businesses) were added to the list of essential businesses.

I'll learn someday

Ugh, how scary for you both, Jo. I hope she's all glued or stitched up and you're both sleeping it off now. True story -- I worked at a bar/pizza place while in college and managed to completely slice off the pad of my thumb with a large machine meant for slicing pepperoni rather than thumbs. I took both parts along to the ER and got lots of stitches, and it was quickly as good as new; although the scar is still visible to this day, which helps to remind me not to do this again. Wishing your daughter (and you) a very speedy recovery and I can imagine how much more difficult and frustrating it is to try to get basic but necessary medical treatment right now.

Advertising toilet paper on tv right now seems like a waste of advertising dollars since people are lining up to try to buy it

Jo, it has never even vaguely occurred to me that one person's quit was inferior or superior to another's because of the method used to reach the same goal of stopping smoking and being completely nicotine-free by the end. Some might appear to be smoother or rockier, but not better or worse. So clean up that space between your ears to make room for some uncluttered pride in your beautiful quit (with extra points for your entertaining stories along the way).

Unreal reality today

Yay, you're on your way again now. Get some sleep and start fresh tomorrow. You can do this, and you will.

For real, don't wash steaks wipes

Some online shopping sites are a sea of price gouging right now.
