The good news is I’m finally staring to feel better. It’s been a rough week!

The bad news, well, we are all going to get the coronavirus, right? Or it might interrupt our upcoming travel plans. I did go down a bit of a rabbit hole yesterday learning about things, and then ended up stocking up a bit more on canned goods and bottled water than I might normally have. I suppose this fits in well with my jamming and pickling hobbies! I guess if we all get quarantined I can always teach facetime lessons? The president tweeting about fake news and stock markets and how CNN is lying about the stock market and the virus to make him look bad (yes, this just happened) probably isn’t helping anybody here feel safer…nor is it helping the stock market, I wouldn’t think. If the flu is making people panic, there’s certainly no reason to stop panicking yet. But remember, don’t cash out your 401k. Markets go up and down, and this one went up for a long time.

On other notes, since I’m feeling better I’m finally going to try to work out this morning. It snowed overnight so it’ll be an indoor workout (yes, it snowed—it was 60 degrees on Sunday and it snowed here, which would be absolutely unbelievable if you had literally never been anywhere in the Midwest before—if you had, you would shrug and say, c’est la vie!).

And then I don’t know. Wednesdays are my day to catch up on everything, and I have a lot of things I should do and will do, but I am also still recovering. I’m tired, I’m sniffly (which doesn’t even seem to be a real word!), and I have a lot of things to do that I don’t feel like doing. I’ll probably do some of them and kick the others down the road until later. Maybe productivity is overrated…if the president can spend most of his days tweeting and golfing, why do the rest of us have to do any work?
