COVID-19: Day 10
I’m at work. I came in to pack up stuff for a lengthy work at home stint. Walked in to find the Executive Director officially shutting us down. Shortly after that, the governor ordered shelter-in-place.
So it’s really real. This is how a pandemic progresses.
Be safe.
COVID-19: Day 9 I’m a slug and an artist-in-residence (or artiste!)

I’ve been a slug today. I have done nothing of any import. I have eaten multiple times. I have danced with the puppies. I have stalked Facebook.
An aside: I moved a Milwaukee boy down here and was present when he encountered his first slug. Now it was a really big slug, but still. He was a really big guy. Anyway. I heard bellowing from the downstairs. I rushed out of the bath and down the stairs to find The Ex cowered with my infant son pointing at a slug and its slimy trail on the carpet. He was terrified. Horrified and lots of –fieds. I was amused. He was not.
Tomorrow, I go into the office to pack up my PC and files to bring home. Call it a hunch, but I think West Virginia will be ordered to stay home very soon. I need to be ready.
I did run across an amusing meme today. I am Connie, the artiste-in-residence at The Barn of W. Va. Fur & Root. Namaste, y’all.
