Just finished.
Was a damn good job too.
Calming her and Emma, both in shock and upset.

We"ll make it. Guess I care a little more about the stimulus package now.

Might be an upside to that.

My daughter is a nurse in a lockdown facility for dangerous mentally ill people. She just heard yesterday that they are sending all their patients away somewhere on Monday. The place is being converted into a pre-release unit for CV victims. People who have been discharged from ICU's and active treatment and just need to be taken care of until they are ready to go home.

Next week will be intensive training for infection control. At least they have been promised they will have protective gear, which they haven't had for several weeks.

She would love to be sent home.

Meanwhile granddaughter is stuck in Colorado. She worked in a hotel and was laid off. Her boyfriend worked in a restaurant and was laid off too. No money coming in and their rent is due. Boyfriend was in the process of applying to join the coastguard. That's a long complicated process which involves travelling and it has been put on hold. Their gov payout will take a while because they don't have tax records. Unemployment pay will come eventually. I'm going to be paying their bills for a while.

Really sorry to hear j. There's going to be a lot more of this if our governments don't get on top of this thing and quick....I really worry for the economy round the world....

Hope you can get by ok.

Hoping for the best for you and yours, especially your daughter.

I was just reading this morning- if I find the article, I’ll link it if possible- that we won’t have to do anything to get the stimulus check, as long as you’ve filed taxes for either ‘18 or ‘19. You don’t have to have records or send anything in, the IRS has all that. But it will take a while to see that money, weeks, maybe months.

My dil, my daughter, and her BF are all laid off but have applied for unemployment, haven’t gotten any money yet. I’m going to ask them what’s the easiest way for me to send them money. You’d think the kids would be easy to send money to electronically, but mine are not always as tech as I am. My daughter wanted to FaceTime me and couldn’t figure it out lol.

    took out the last of my log stuff today!!_ been cleaning drawers .. organizing.. 3 bags of filters, 3 rolling paper booklets and a cig case. been a year or something clean, but felt like a thing. reminded where it was, funny, we're so beyond it in our immersion here i'd almost forgot where we all came from.

    good evening all

    Picked up my mail, my Dot is still in Detroit, but I finally got that vape cig a order. Some cute little drip tips for the dots. Also sent me a Times Vape Diesel rta which I’d never even heard of instead of the Ardent I ordered. Emailed them, we’ll see how they want to handle that.

    Morning shinies ;)
    Finally the weekend, so I can have a couple of PJ only days :D
    P.S. I need some more Axial rdas!

    i'm really regretting not having ordered two myself, not to mention those alternate caps and the one that goes inside rather than covering whatchanacall_ don't no body dare buy them all, i might come round to it. should've explored the website before i ordered :-x

    meanwhile for some reason topside went the other direction in germany, donno why, maybe distribution or customs in this state is closed .. but it went to bavaria of all places_ that's the messiest place now/ i almost didn't leave today to wait for it was sure it's today.

    didn't get any TP again. i mean it doesn't matter much to this household, but what is wrong with ppl?!

    feeling sunstruck though, herself took her time in the last store we were meeting up in front of, sat on a bench like an idiot, didnt think was that warm
