So as you've probably seen on the news, the situation with the pandemic is...not great.

I wish I had the option to stay home, but unfortunately, my job has deemed itself "essential" because our store sells work-from-home supplies, so I'll still be clocking in to work as the situation gets worse. Meanwhile our governor hasn't announced a lockdown or any sort of meaningful measure to handle the situation.

To be honest, I'm kind of terrified. I've never had that great of health and I don't want anything to happen to my friends or family either. But viruses don't leave you alone just because you ask nicely.

I just want to say: don't get overwhelmed by fear. Do what you can to not get sick and stop the spread. And also, tell somebody important in your life that you care about them. Maybe repair a broken bridge or two if you can. And start thinking about the social and political implications this virus has forced to the surface, because the world will be a very different place once it leaves.

Take care of yourselves, I love you all. <3
