Yep, these are trying times indeed. Just hunker down, keep your distance, and we will all be fine when this passes.

My brother no longer has to go to work until the casino is ready to re-open. Stores are shortening their hours of business but making employees work longer for cleaning. The local walmart brought back overnight stockers. I'm friends with one of the managers so he told me the new hours & said they will be getting in bigger trucks for deliveries.
When my friend told me his company laid off all but 10 employees, I thought he meant in the state or in that casino-- but he meant nationwide. The guy who trained him was laid off. IIRC, the guy is still recovering from pneumonia.
Despite not going to work, my brother is still refusing to take out the trash, dump containers of his that now have maggots, or do anything at all around the house. Instead he's using up all of our internet bandwidth. We are only a few days in to the billing period but already 1/3 of the bandwidth is used up. I got tired of tripping over stuff in the kitchen so I filled up 2 trash bags & emptied all the trash cans from the kitchen. Swept up the floor-- the whole while grumbling about how my brother is on his own next time he wants a favor. He can buy his own damn groceries from now on. I'm trying to figure out the best hiding place for stuff because my last hiding place for the chicken noodle soup didn't work. He found it and has now consumed almost two entire cases of it (3rd one is still in the truck so he hasn't found it yet). Some prick on Amazon was selling a single can of the soup for $44.99. My brother left the empty cans all over the kitchen floor. I didn't get the entire kitchen cleaned up because my back gave out on me, but I got a lot of it picked up. I threw out some of my brother's stuff that fell on the floor & I'm tired of picking up after him. If he asks me to get him milk or something I'll give him the same response he gave me when I asked him to take out trash or to dump the maggot container outside.
My friend's fiance is now afraid to go out because someone told her pregnant women are at risk from covid-19-- which means we can leave her at home when I take him places to get stuff. I don't have to worry about her whining and complaining the whole trip & I don't have her asking me to buy her food & being super picky about what she wants to eat or have her start crying for no apparent reason (she did that *before* she was pregnant).
I need to come up with some sort of meal plan and hope my mother will be OK with it. She's very picky & will say she's hungry but then doesn't want any of the food available and whines and has tantrums. She's about to turn 70 but she acts like a toddler sometimes. I think I'm in a pissy mood so I'm griping a lot. LOL.
My brother didn't even thank me for cleaning up. He apparently thought I'd had a friend come over and clean bc he seemed to think there was no way I had cleaned it all up-- nevermind that I've had to clean it up the last umpteen times by myself. I did get help for awhile when my ankles were injured & my back still gives me trouble. He claimed he had planned to do it & I just laughed. He planned to think about doing it and not do it and find an excuse as to why he shouldn't have to.
My mother didn't even notice that I'd cleaned (not sure how she didn't notice, but she didn't). She kept asking my brother when he was going to clean up & if he'd cleaned yet. He made a mess in the sink & I'm having too much of a case of the eff-its to clean it up yet. I'm still feeling bleh. Allergy season is not helping.
People are officially being ordered to stay in unless its' for something essential. I'm willing to bet my friend's grandfather will completely ignore that. He's still been constantly calling my friend & when my friend wasn't answering because he was busy, the old man sent the cops out to look for him and order him to call him back. They did that 3 times so far (that I know of). I think it's a waste of police time and harassment. The old man needs to back off.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the dog food that my dogs prefer-- it's out of stock online and in stores. Not sure why.
The lever on my Toto Drake is starting to break. They charge something like $52 for the lever. It's metal on the outside but it has plastic inside and the plastic breaks after 5 or 6 years. I already replaced it once (thankfully I had one on a toilet tank for a toilet that hasn't been installed yet). I'm going to get a universal lever with metal next time.
