This means eye drops in my eyes four times a day, each different type five minutes apart, 17 altogether. Because of the high risk of infection in the eye, I have to wash my hands before putting in the drops, and dry my hands with paper towel, then throw it away. Once the drops are in, I have to blot with a tissue, one for each eye. <br />Considering I usually use real towels and real hankies, it's extraordinary how many of these disposable products I'm using, and I'm starting to worry about whether our supplies will last the distance.

Grocery shoppin...Sorry about your cancelled trip :(<br />Grocery shopping was a challenge here this past weekend, I’m frustrated with all the panic buyers. <br />My 70+ mother is rather cavalier about the whole thing, she and my dad have gone on holiday regardless this week, and were pretty put out when I suggested she not visit here on the way home because I’m worried the kids could be asymptomatic and pass it on.<br /><br />Wishing you a great reading week, stay well.shelleyrae @ book'd outhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888977858862922561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-61375419335511535772020-03-16T14:56:11.841+11:002020-03-16T14:56:11.841+11:00I noticed the ice cream shortage here.

I went to ...Oh, that sucks about your Europe trip. <br />I went to the grocery store on Friday, as I do most Fridays. The ice cream was intact. I think I was most surprised that the rice shelves were cleared. Pasta, there. Quinoa, untouched. Rice-a-Roni, fine aside from the Broccoli Cheese flavor. But no plain rice. *shrug*<br />Stay safe and healthy and have a good-as-possible week!

You're right, it's all surreal. So sorry you have to cancel your trip. We were just about to book our trip to Europe and now who knows when/if we'll be able to go this year. Well, wishing for the best for everyone.

I'm also worried about who or what won't survive this period. There were newly opened restaurants I was looking forward to eating at but now how are they going to make any profit for a while? It's disastrous for sure but like you said, we need to do what we can to limit the impact and reduce the number of people who could get sick.Athirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366654538383603004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-77308675384469376172020-03-16T00:26:52.103+11:002020-03-16T00:26:52.103+11:00*hiding under a stack of books* <-- and I'm...*hiding under a stack of books* <-- and I'm almost serious, but they're my own books and not physical books from others that might be infected. :)Bryanhttps://stillanunfinishedperson.blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-62582335691664752612020-03-16T00:07:39.720+11:002020-03-16T00:07:39.720+11:00I didn't walk down the ice cream aisle here.

I thought that was funny because when there is a storm here, the chip aisle is empty. <br /><br />I am also more concerned about other people than myself should they get sick. My grandmother for example. Or, even Lorrie. He has asthma and tends to have trouble breathing just with a regular cold. I guess we will see how this plays out!<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your trip! Lorrie wanted to go down south. I am very glad we didn't plan anything because we would not have gone. His sister and her husband still went, though.Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-58316307596564668882020-03-15T23:34:47.315+11:002020-03-15T23:34:47.315+11:00These feel like crazy times.

I hesitate to visit my elderly dad and his wife, but I know they are feeling frustrated at being stuck at home. I feel confused about what exactly I should be doing.
