And now we are Staying Home. Wheee?

I had a PT appointment scheduled for this morning, but that was scuttled by the state lockdown. The clinic is consulting with various authorities, and kinda-sorta-maybe expects to be open on a limited basis by Friday. (PT, while not usually an urgent medical service, could be considered essential, as once a patient is in the protocol stopping it for more than a week means that they have to start all over again.)

My original plan had been to go to PT and then run errands (bank, groceries), but I suspect there's not much point in going to the grocer today - all that panic buying yesterday has probably cleared the shelves. I have an appointment to give blood on Thursday, so I should probably stay home until then anyway. I have some (perhaps vain) hope that at least some restocking will have happened by then. I'm getting a bit twitchy with only a couple weeks of staples in my pantry. (These are staples that I try to keep four weeks worth, but the stores have been out of stock on them for the last two weeks.....)

I guess it could be worse, and I could be out of those staples.... Thanks mum! (I grew up in farm country, 15 miles from the nearest grocer of any size, and 30 miles from a supermarket, and Mum always had three weeks of food in the house in case of snowstorm or car trouble or schedule implosion.)
