I would stay the fuck home! There is absolutely nothing he can do right now to change the situation and there is no reason to venture out and interact with people who could potentially be asymptomatic carriers. You need to treat every person you interact with like they are infected right now. It sucks but that is currently our new "normal".

My amazon order arrived early. I opted for delayed shipping so I could get the $3 digital credit and they still shipped it in 2 days. I guess they saw that it was medical supplies (needle disposal containers) and sent it out.

Today- it was my first trip out in 6 days. One of the kitties was sick so I had to take him to the vet for an antibiotic shot. The vet is doing curbside service so I didn't have to go inside. Had to pop into the pharmacy to pick up a prescription for my dad and then went through the Starbucks drive thru. My mom rode along with me just to get out of the house; she has been at home for 12 days and getting a bit stir crazy. I kept trying to get her to stick her head out the window while we drove down the road but she wouldn't do it. I took the long way home to just see how things were in town and there were way too many people driving around; it looked like a normal day of traffic.
Came home and the fucking neighbors were having a party. 5 random cars parked on our private road, music blaring, kids running around.

It does look like the CMs at DLR will be getting paid through April 18/19. They might not taking in revenue with the parks being closed but all of us AP holders are still being charged if we are on a monthly payment plan so there is more than enough $$ to pay the CMs.

We can't get any delivery or curbside pick up orders out here. It sucks. I have yet to find TP. I did manage to find 2 pathetic rolls of paper towels and some "flushable" wipes at Target last weekend.
I've been stalking the Costco website because we need to do a Costco run and nothing is opening up and nothing is in stock.

They need to make some type of announcement for Disney. Let us know now so that we can change existing hotel reservations without having to call in and clog up the phone lines. I've got a room booked at the Grand Californian on April 10 so I would like to know now that I have to change it; it will let me jump on the 7 month window for Halloween without having to borrow points from 2021.

Its been hit or miss with flour. Before the stay at home order went into effect, Target and TJs had none. I did a grocery run on sunday and the baking aisle at Vons was out of flour but fully stocked with sugar. Trader Joes had some so I grabbed a bag. Target's baking section was fully stocked.
We have just under 15 lbs now so we are set for awhile. I grabbed the flour over the weekend because Im making banana bread this week and we might have to make our own tortillas when we run out.

We inventoried the pantry and the freezer this weekend. I did a Vons/TJs/Target run today to grab items we were either out of or running low on and managed to get 90% of the list.
Our latest expiry date for Milk is April 7 so I anticipate not leaving the house until after the first of the month and that will be to do a Costco run for meat.
We can easily survive 1 month with our current food but it will be mostly carbs, bacon, and junk food with lots of OJ. We have always bought stuff in "bulk"; for things we use all the time, we stock up when they are on sale so we usually end up with 10lbs of rice, 7-10 boxes of cereal and 5 boxes of pop-tarts in the house at any given time.

North County Inland San Diego- I haven't been out of the house since Thursday night when I did a Peterson's Donut run. The did a FB blast around 7 pm that they were shutting down at midnight and needed to sell out. There were at least 40 people in line and everyone tried to keep away from each other.
I know that In n Out was business as usual today since a friend there for lunch. It has been quieter than normal but we live on a private cul de sac and dont get much traffic. The neighbor behind us had his damn desert rat 4x4 out in the backyard and if he insists on spending hours driving around in circles in his yard, I may snap and beat him senseless with my kentucky long.
I have to venture out tomorrow to pick up meds for the kitties and get some odds and ends at the grocery store.

I basically got laid off last night. Now I'm waiting to hear back from the staffing agency about what to do next. I really don't need any more $ related stress right now.
Living with an extrovert who has a constant need to talk and make noise is going to drive me batty. I don't need constant stimulation or social interaction and my dad is the same way. I am perfectly happy to go 6+ days without seeing or speaking to another human. My mother cannot do this. I've been up for 2 hours and she's already driving me nuts with her incessant chatter and need to make noise
I have a regular game night with a group of friends, and we are talking about games we could potentially do over video conference so that we can still have the interaction.
I think that Scattergories would be pretty easy to do over video. You would need to share a screen that lists the categories, then tell everyone the letter to use.
Do you all play cards against humanity? There is an online version that you could all play

Am I the only weirdo who wants to spend 2-3 weeks just lounging in bed reading books? I don't need human interaction.
We have an acre and the neighbors have all sorts of critters (horses, goats, turkeys, cows, chickens, etc) so I can always traipse into their yard and hang with the animals.
I know! 7/day - DH and I eat 2 each and the boys eat 1 each. Clearly we are going to have to find an alternative.
Quiche or breakfast casserole. One slice/piece per person and supplement with fruit, bread, etc. A 9 inch quiche should get you 2 days worth of breakfast and use less eggs than you use in one day. A 9x13 casserole should yield 3 days worth of breakfasts.

I've got 3 trips booked at the Grand Californian. August for Star Wars celebration, October for friends visiting from the UK, and December for our annual girls trip to b disneyland.
I will be devasted if the October trip doesn't happen; I haven't seen my UK friends since 2017 and we've been planning this for 2 years

Our orange trees are producing a decent crop this year. I grabbed a random orange off the tree and juiced it and they are so juicy this year. I'll be having fresh OJ whenever I want in the next few weeks.
May 6-12 - Disneyland, not Disney World (not sure which one you're going to).
Disney World. I think we might just post-pone to be safe. I need to call, normally we have a 30 days out to cancel and not lose our points. Will be talking to them this week to see what they say.
They have been giving everyone back their points with no issues. I'd hold off on calling them for now since wait times are 2-3 hours and the poor CMs are just getting verbally beat down. We have a room at the Grand booked for April 10 and we are just waiting to see what happens in the next few weeks

Im temping at a small law firm. If anyone has it, we have all been exposed since there are only 8 of us. If I don't work, I dont get paid. Most of what we do isn't dependent on the court system so we will be open until the government forces all non-essential businesses to close.
Is there any word about ticket refunds or extensions?
Sorta. Let me try to find it.
ETA- Found it!
Can you get a refund for purchased tickets?
“Unexpired multi-day theme park tickets with unused days, or date-specific theme park tickets with a valid use period during the period March 12 through March 31, will automatically be extended to use any date through Dec. 15, 2020,” Disney officials said.
If you aren’t able to visit the parks by Dec. 15, 2020 you can apply the value of an unused ticket toward the purchase of a ticket for a future date.
Florida Resident Discover Disney Tickets have been extended and may be used through July 31.

Im now stuck trying to figure out how to get a refund for a canceled F&W event since the park will be closed. There is absolutely no info on the tickets and Disneyland outsourced ticket sales
I just saw this. We were planning to be in DL for a night or two while we’re visiting family either July 27 or 28. I’m wondering how absolutely nuts it will be now.
Just normal summer busy. What they are opening isn't going to draw crowds (it is basically a reskin of TSMM) and aside from a few new characters (Ant Man, Wasp, Taskmaster, Iron Man), everyone else has been in the park as a meet and greet. The e-ticket ride wont open for awhile so some people will hold off until it opens.

We actually did need paper towels this weekend and it sucked that Costco was out. We are good on TP for now but if the TP hoarding is still going on in a few weeks when we need to restock, I will shank someone if I cant find it.
I can think of better things to hoard than TP; if I am going to be stuck in my house for 2-3 weeks, I am getting a big ass chocolate cake at Costco and lots of booze.
San Diego doesn’t even have any community spread cases, does it? It’s like ... really far from the Bay Area. (I don’t think LA has community spread either yet.)
Yet. An AT&T store employee was diagnosed today.
The story was slightly misleading. Tested as "presumptive positive" but has not been confirmed by the CDC. I'm a bit annoyed that the only stores they closed were also stores in communities with larger minority populations. Why only those 6 stores? Why not the stores in the other parts of the county?
Voted by mail in CA last week (for Warren), but I’m mostly watching my congressional primary today. I’m in Duncan Hunter’s old district (CA-50) and although I’m fairly confident the D candidate (yay Ammar!) will make it through to November, I’m interested to see by what percentage and which Republican he’ll be up against. Darrell Issa is trying to weasel his way back in down here, plus a couple others who are all trying to out-Trump each other.
I just want the damn Demaio and Issa ads to stop. The attack ads on Issa are hysterical but NB annoying. Ammar has 2 votes at my house.
