elisi: Don't breathe (coronavirus) (Current events)

Greetings from the House of Plague



Hiiii. So, guess whose husband woke up feeling achy, warm and Not Great, and whose eldest child 21 year old has a cough?

You only get one guess.

However I've managed to log onto my work email, so can at least tell the other people in the office all the things I need them to do. Wahey, 14 days of self-isolation here we come! The 14 year old is already bored. (I can write so much fic! And I might finish my novel???)

Oh and middle child is coming home from university today. Full house! :D

On a more serious note, mostly worried we've infected the in-laws, who are in their 70s. (They are generally healthy, but both have had cancer.)

ANYWAY. Here's to living in interesting times!

Oooooohh boy.



Good luck. Hope it's just a cold and you can enjoy your two weeks off <3

Do you have Miss S with you now, or is she still in the states? I hate to say this, but somehow your government's response is making my government's response look good, and my government's response is frankly terrifying in its incompetence.

I myself am off sick as well. I'm, like, 90% sure it's just some bad allergies that have progressed into postnasal drip and sinus headache territory or possibly allergies with a cold on top, but it's not the time to take that gamble, so here I am, on my couch. Work stubbornly refuses to close, though the city closed all gyms, movie theaters, etc. yesterday and restaurants can only do take out and delivery.

(aside: I went browsing for an icon and lol'd at this one)

If it's not any effort to put up I might get inspired, though I suspect I'll mostly just be watching tv. And reading coronavirus coverage, since that's my full-time job right now.

(Love the icon. Spent ages yesterday finding this one.)
Thank you, Doctor Who, for giving us the means of expressing ourselves in this trying time.
